Will leave it to others to have a go as I got the last one.
Never been either WRB. Always get the impression whilst it’s big and cavernous it probably lacks the atmosphere of say the Millennium in Cardiff :duno:

Nagging me this one, not sure at all but looks UK.

English EFL ground WRB, but not Portman Road. One that many on here will have been to, I'm sure.

Much improved ground over the years and we’ve had some good battles with these, non more so than the play off semi final when Billy “job done” Davies was manager. It is of course Preston North End

The apartments at the bottom of the pic look Scandinavian?
More athletic stadium than football I suspect.

Based on them theories Oslo, Helsinki or Stockholm.

Bescott Stadium Walsall.

First visit there was a league cup replay in the mid 80s, was in with their fans as mate was a Walsall fan (originated from there) and got us tickets.

Right on your doorstep I believe Muppet. Their old ground I think was where the new housing is to the right. And it is Cardiff

👍 spot on Rich - Cardiff City Stadium and as you say the Bluebirds didn’t move far from their former Ninian Park home, it literally is over the road. For that infamous 2002 FA Cup game I had got tickets in the stand/terrace with the Braces bread advert/sign on the roof, whilst the bulk of the travelling Leeds fans (as you probably were Rich) were in one half/third of that end with the blue roof.
