Elm Park: Which current ground most similar?

[Stuka]

Very very roughly, which would you say if any of the current modern grounds most resemble how Elm Park used to be? Maybe Stevenage's Broadhall Way?

[Fox Talbot]

Leyton Orient used to be the only other one with two open ends and two covered sides I can recall.

In terms of general ambience I'd suggest Brentford and Gillingham.

The Ends at London Road are very much like the Southbank. I dont think there are any grounds left like Elm Park, but Griffin Park has a very similar feel.

Expecet from one stand behing the goal, Stockports ground is quite close. Roots Hall in Southend would also be close if they took out the seats in 3 of the stands.

Ditto Spotland (only need to remove seats from 2 stands + a couple of roofs

A "family" club then. Disappointing.

I'd love to go to a Greenock Morton game.

Can we have a pre-season friendly?

Any ground with the "Wee Dublin End" and "The Cowshed" gets my vote. Just needs Pylons in the corners

How the hell did you know that??
Picture taken from what was the west stand, south bank on the right, away fans opposite.
I'm meant to be going camping in scotland soon, might try and make it end of april/ may so i can sneak a Greenock morton game in, then go out on the lash on the whiskeys!

Just to complete the similarities....



My Grandad was a lifelond STH at the Morton. I still hate St Mirren, on his behalf.

[Fox Talbot]

^^^^ the ghost of Porterfield kit deals.

[Hemenbruff Royal]

I've always followed Morton's results since learning from my 1975 Subutteo Kit Colour Chart that they played in blue and white hoops the same as Reading.

Can you buy Ferguson's Chocolates in Waitrose? That would be another 'spooky' link.

Another similarity. Morton were founded in 1874, only two years after RFC.
