Loakes Park also has a hospital on it. A lot of Wycombe's old adversaries grounds are now used for other means like Tooting and Mitcham, Enfield and Leytonstone.

South Terrace - Roots Hall (Southend Utd) flats since the 90's and eventually whole stadium to be a Sainsburys

I was at Roots Hall in 1979 for an FA Cup tie against Liverpool. The game was postponed on the Saturday due to snow, and I travelled down for the game on a Monday (by train). Horrendous journey, game ended 0-0 and Southend hit the bar in the last minute. The Tannoy remains the loudest I have ever heard at a football ground.

I was at that game efisio..as a Southend supporter i was gutted when our centre forward Paul Parker was through with just Clemence to beat and he fluffed it..i can close my eyes and still see the twot thumping the snow with his fist.Record crowd for the Blues that night (29000). Think we lost the replay 5-0...halcyon days

I reckon there's 34-36 clubs of the current 92 who have changed grounds in the last 30 years, some more than once.
Brighton - Goldstone, Priestfield, Withdean, AMEX. Charlton - Valley, Selhurst, Upton Park. Coventry - Highfield Rd, Ricoh, Sixfields Not sure you count Bournemouth, who movde their stadium 180 degree's. I don't count it as two different grounds visited. I'm pretty sure Scunthorpe (followed by Millwall) were the first club to get a "new" stadium, and now they're talking of another new one - http://www.scunthorpetelegraph.co.uk/EXCLUSIVE-Scunthorpe-United-8217-s-proposed-18m/story-20383590-detail/story.html As for the flats at Roots Hall, they were above the old away end (away fans now at the opposite end), but I'm sure they couldn't see the whole of the pitch. Orient, a club Southend have a little bit of recent history with, have built flats in the corners of Brisbane Road, or whatever it's called now. Half the residents don't even bother watching, though I'm sure I saw a TV feature showing Russell Slade, and a player living in them(separately). Be interesting to know what's happened to all the other ones. I know Hudds, Rotherham, Stoke, and Arsenal built close to their old ones, and Stoke's Victoria Ground was flattened and was basically a car park for the new one last time I visited (a long time ago) The likes of new grounds at Col U, Shrewsbury and Bolton didn't seem easily accessible. |

Chester's old ground is now a retail park and the new one, built a few hundred yards away, is technically in Wales apparently.
