Guess The Ground

It's said to be Elm Park, Reading in 1925.

"The state of the Elm Park pitch had been such a cause for concern that the club called in the renowned seed growers Sutton's, one of Reading's 'Three Bs' (biscuits, beer and bulbs). Supporters were well pleased with the result, which saw a mud heap transformed into a 'billiard table', as shown in this photo that I've colourised."

If that is 1925 , it is a an absolutely fantastic photo!
 
Just realised that by reading the thread carefully - but it still makes a hundred years ago more relatable, the basics haven't changed , Nice work.
