Plough Lane
Springfield Park
Manor Ground
County Ground
Leeds Road
The Old Recreation Ground

When Vale Park was built it was hoped to be the Wembley of thew north with a planned capacity of 70000

Correct .....actually Leeds Road is the only one l never went to
 
Been on them all but am I missing something here, I thought Port Vale always played at the same ground? I just thought it had been modernised.

Without looking down the thread

Ayresome Park - went

Xxx - didn’t go

The Victoria Ground - went

Which one? Plough Lane? - never went. I think they also played at Gillingham definitely at Selhurst Park (went)

Springfield Park - never went

Edited as I pressed the wrong button

The Manor Ground - went

Xxx - never went

Leeds Road - never went

The only ground I know Port Vale to have played at is Vale Park. - went but I suspect this is the answer nobody knows.

I know the answer to Brighton and Northampton but can’t recall through my tiredness and alcoholic haze.

If I was to make a guess at Port Vale I’d say The Victoria Ground. Makes the most logical sense.

Just looked. I knew The Goldstone Ground but I’m annoyed I missed The Withdean which I went to twice. And Priestfield, Gillingham.

I now think Wimbledon didn’t play there I was getting them and Brighton mixed up.
 
Port Vale still play at the old stadium Vale Park in Burslem, saw Rooster Russell race clear and smash in the winner in a 2-1 win about 1992, took my son 7 to his first away game. Been to Ayresome park first one 74 abandoned floodlight failure, Victoria Park 1-0 about 83 (green and white kit - Bob Hazel) County ground - saw Northampton 7 Bristol City 1 Div 4 in 82. Goldstone League Cup early 90s I think - went again when Kevin Campbell was on loan 89/90 time, called off before KO waterlogged pitch.
