Doesn't mention Drill Field, Canal Street, Springfield Park, Underhill, Lower Mead, London Road, Watling Street, Southbury Road, The Windmill, Huish, Seamer Road, Farrar Road, Christie Park, Holly Park, Millmoor, Rockingham Road, ...

Oh so many grounds that are no longer there - of the 107 I have been to watching Alty nearly 40 are no longer football grounds

Not sure about ground names, but is New Brighton in that group?
I remember going there

Indeed......the Tower Ground.

I've also seen us play at the Old Show Ground twice, St.George's Lane twice, Belle Vue, Manor Park, and Simonside Hall.....there may well be others if I rack my brains a little harder.

Simonswood Lane is one many of you will have been to.....but I never got there. I went to Sealand Road once, but it was to watch County.

I once worked near New Brighton for several weeks and often visited after work........I was amazed to learn that New Brighton once had a tower that was similar in appearance to Blackpool Tower and was once the tallest object in Britain............assume this is why it was called the Tower Ground

When the ref called time for the end of the first period of extra time about 5 minuets early.

not just grounds but clubs as well, South Liverpool comes to mind now known as AFC Liverpool but no longer play at Holly  Park. Witton Albions Central Ground is also no more, Worcester's  St Georges Lane has also gone. Alty won the last ever cup tie at that ground 2 years ago.Unfortunatley i think there will be more to follow

There is no connection between South Liverpool and AFC Liverpool

AFC Liverpool was set up in answer to FCUM, although it never caught on

South Liverpool still exist (although second incarnation), they play in the West Cheshire league

Just on a point of information, the successor club to South Liverpool plays in the West Cheshire League Premier Division (same league as Vauxhall Motors). I think they initially merged with Cheshire Lines FC but now play under the South Liverpool name. AFC Liverpool is the Scouse FCUM & plays in the NWCL Prem (I think at Prescot).
