I discovered this abandoned football pitch adjacent to the Leeds-Liverpool canal in Burnley when I first moved here 6 years ago. It is squeezed in to a patch of land between Thompson Park and Bank Hall Park.
Substantial enough to have a covered stand running the width of the pitch, which is fully enclosed, yet long forgotten. Nobody has played out of this ground in all the time that I've lived here. I've not found out who played here, or what became of them.

⚽️ At the American Express Stadium, hoping for another good performance, and maybe a good result to go with it. Brighton & Hove Albion v Burnley.

⚽️ St James’ Park, Newcastle. From high up in the sky, level 7 of the Leazes Stand today.

I often walk past the Queensgate Bowling Club while walking my dogs around Burnley. It stands out as the public bowling greens nearby in Barden Gardens have been ‘converted’ into cricket wickets.

Spotland, Rochdale - 10,249.
A stadium I had always wanted to visit, just a shame that there was no Rochdale resurgence in evidence today. Look doomed to conference football next season.
Rochdale 0 - ⚽ ⚽ ⚽Bradford City

Exploring Burnley with bayLee this afternoon. As close as he got to seeing his clarets from Burnley Cricket Club.
Some say bayLee is my favourite. He is incredibly special, but I have no favourites.
