TheCholulaKid Posted 29 May, 2013 Posted 29 May, 2013 Anyone done this: http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/quiz/2013/may/29/football-quiz-name-stadiums-aerial-view 8 out of 10 for me
Big Bad Bob Posted 29 May, 2013 Posted 29 May, 2013 9 out of 10 got No1 wrong. Got No1 right, the clue was the ball almost hitting the plane as it flew over...
djharvey Posted 29 May, 2013 Posted 29 May, 2013 10 for me. Am a real stadium geek though! Maracana was only one I was slightly unsure of.
anothersaintinsouthsea Posted 29 May, 2013 Posted 29 May, 2013 10 for me. Am a real stadium geek though! Maracana was only one I was slightly unsure of. Same here. Got the Dortmund one as I've not only been to the stadium but also the athletics track next door.
This Charming Man Posted 29 May, 2013 Posted 29 May, 2013 8 for me. Got The Valley and St Andrews wrong.
Nexstar Posted 29 May, 2013 Posted 29 May, 2013 9, the last one was a toss up between Goodison and St. Andrews.
DuncanRG Posted 29 May, 2013 Posted 29 May, 2013 A miserable 5. When we expand to the 80,000 seater Pahars Arena we'd better have the club crest on the roof!
FloridaMarlin Posted 29 May, 2013 Posted 29 May, 2013 Sorry, smart-arse here got 10. Maracana only one I've not been to.
Depressed of Shirley Posted 29 May, 2013 Posted 29 May, 2013 9, how am I supposed to know a German stadium from the air, I'm only 49!
um pahars Posted 29 May, 2013 Posted 29 May, 2013 10 (but had an educated guess on the Dortmund ground). As it said at the end I spend too much time on Google maps plus having a good read of Simon Inglis' books!!!
um pahars Posted 29 May, 2013 Posted 29 May, 2013 9, how am I supposed to know a German stadium from the air, I'm only 49! LOL it would have been the only one my grandad knew!!!!
saints_is_the_south Posted 29 May, 2013 Posted 29 May, 2013 10 for me. Am a real stadium geek though! Maracana was only one I was slightly unsure of. +1. The others were easy, IMO.
Whitey Grandad Posted 29 May, 2013 Posted 29 May, 2013 Half and half, 5 out of 10 which for me is not bad. I like the comment: 'You've got promise. But then so did Michael Ricketts' They might have told me what the answers were.
Whitey Grandad Posted 29 May, 2013 Posted 29 May, 2013 Nipper got 9. Got WHL wrong. That's the only one that I was certain about. I played a friendly rugby game in 1967 for my school on the big grass pitch that was part of Northumberland Park School on the east side of the stadium. Before the war one on my uncles allegedly had a house that backed onto the ground and used to climb a ladder to watch the games over his back garden fence.
View From The Top Posted 29 May, 2013 Posted 29 May, 2013 Half and half, 5 out of 10 which for me is not bad. I like the comment: 'You've got promise. But then so did Michael Ricketts' They might have told me what the answers were. There was a "show answers" option at the end.
The Cat Posted 29 May, 2013 Posted 29 May, 2013 9 for me. Worked out a couple I was unsure of from the areas surrounding the ground.

Whitey Grandad Posted 29 May, 2013 Posted 29 May, 2013 There was a "show answers" option at the end. Too clever for me.

John Boy Saint Posted 29 May, 2013 Posted 29 May, 2013 Dinlo alert!!! 3!! Bloody shocking!! I can spot more or less where I am when flying over most of Europe and it isn't cloudy! Ooo just spotted that I am not alone sat in my corner wearing a pointy hat with D on the front!!
mcjwills Posted 29 May, 2013 Posted 29 May, 2013 Equally dinlo alert 3 out of 10, but I am as blind as a bat though.
eurosaint Posted 30 May, 2013 Posted 30 May, 2013 A paltry 5, my 6 yr old grandson got 8 and he doesn't even live in the UK ! Grrr...
The9 Posted 30 May, 2013 Posted 30 May, 2013 (edited) 9, how am I supposed to know a German stadium from the air, I'm only 49! Exactly the same for me, minus the extra 9 years. Edited 30 May, 2013 by The9
de-fence Posted 30 May, 2013 Posted 30 May, 2013 'You scored 10 out of a possible 10 You're either very clever or very lucky. Or spend a lot of time on Google maps' Smashed it
Saint in Paradise Posted 30 May, 2013 Posted 30 May, 2013 I win the dinlo award :lol: You scored 2 out of a possible 10 Have you considered another sport?
StDunko Posted 31 May, 2013 Posted 31 May, 2013 10 for me. Am a real stadium geek though! Maracana was only one I was slightly unsure of. Yeah, exactly the same for me. I did think Ibrox and Anfield looked fairly similar though.
SNSUN Posted 31 May, 2013 Posted 31 May, 2013 I either got 1 out of 10 or 9 out of 10. I'm not telling you which...
The9 Posted 31 May, 2013 Posted 31 May, 2013 Revisiting this 1) I identified from the car park on one side and the Harvester on the roundabout on the other. Been there once. 2) Recognised the park to one side with the huge recent stand, the configuration of the road past the opposite side, the steps at one end, and the car park at the other end. Been there a good 10 or so times. 3) Never been, guessed, got it wrong as I assumed it was a more recent Stadium and the one it was wasn't uniform in shape 4) Have been to 2 of the options which it wasn't, and didn't look new enough to be the other one which has just been rebuilt, so process of elimination it was the other one (and looked right). 5) Wasn't certain, though knew it was one of two, decided on the correct answer due to the other ground having newer stands, and seeing what appears to be a motorway nearby. 6) Process of elimination. There's no hotel behind any of the stands, I've been to one of the other options and there's no astropitch near that one, and of the two remaining options, I'd been to one and the roads configuration looked vaguely correct, as well as the line of trees to the left, which IIRC correctly was next to a train line. 7) I've been to 3 of the 4 stadiums mentioned, remember the old stand with awkward access in the away end for the correct answer, and that the ground I hadn't been to had massive newer stand alone stands and nothing as old as the one in the picture. 8 ) Have been to 3 of the 4, two of which have already been answers. Of the other 2, quite similar but remembered the ground I had been to was boxed in by terraced housing a little more and didn't have the room to expand shown in the pic, so it had to be the ground I haven't been to. 9) Only been to one of them and the walkways were in the wrong places for that one, wasn't another option as it was a previous answer so bit of a shot in the dark, then remembered one ground had just been redeveloped and looked at the colour and trees of the surrounding areas and style of housing for clues, guessed right. 10) Been there a few times including recently, terraced housing in rows all down the one side right up to the ground itself, boxed in by houses all around except the one end with a car park, and colour of the roof also helped. Dunno why I chose to share that.
egg Posted 7 June, 2013 Posted 7 June, 2013 That is 3 of us who got just 3 right. There are 4 of us now.
adrian lord Posted 7 June, 2013 Posted 7 June, 2013 6/10 Must try harder, not reaching his potential.
Wurzel Posted 8 June, 2013 Posted 8 June, 2013 After several changes when a name I'd already picked appeared to be a later option, and 1 total guess I surprised myself with a 10 out of 10
