Few of us were trying to work out how many works sports grounds, in/around Soton, there are remaining and those no longer supported by the parent company involved.

 

Have got 3 remaining and 7 gone.

 

Who wants to have a stab at meeting/bettering this total?

It was a great pitch that Southampton schoolboys used to play on..I watched Teddy Nutkins a poster on the main forum play there.

It was known as the Gas Works Ground locally by us Redbridge lot.

It also had a great cricket pitch as well ...I played in a team with Bob Mitchell the MP once there and took a catch of his bowling http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bob_Mitchell_(UK_politician).
