There was a time in the 60s when numerous clubs sporadically included an aerial shot of their stadium on the front cover of their programme, wasn't there?
Off the top of my head - Exeter, Norwich, South Liverpool, Man City, Romford, Derby, Wrexham.
Any others? |

This pic link should hopefully show Corby Town's Occupation Road ground from the air in 1952. All housing now. Highlight was probably when Man Utd played a friendly there in the mid-1970s, or playing Luton in the FA Cup in mid-60s. They left in 1984 for an out of town development (itself now vacated).

Derby 1884 - an aerial shot of the ground featured on home programmes in the 1980s. |

Nowhere near the quality of other pictures posted on this thread but hopefully worth sharing just the same |
Very much, thanks.
That fourth one, with the child in the foreground and the crumbling old ground in the background, would make a perfect setting for a "Play For Today"
Not that there's any chance of anything thought-provoking such as Play For today ever being revived what with all the rubbish on the telly nowadays that has the brass neck to call itself "entertainment" _________________ http://www.flickr.com/photos/derby1884/sets/ |
