Underhill was a horrible ground plus horrible memories of our conference debut there.
That was the day that photo was taken. Keith Alexander can be seen racing down the far wing.
Is that Fisher photo from when we played there (Good Friday '88)?
Was that literally so? (Can't remember which way it sloped).
Keith is actually running up the slope there - it sloped towards the south goal. It can just be seen in this photo of Dave Sansom's early penalty (the slope falls away from where the photo was taken from):

Not forgetting Northampton Town's old ground, which had an absurd slope, they shared it with Northants CCC I believe.
Flipping heck that makes me feel old I have seen us play at every one of those pictures you posted including the 1-1 at Fisher Athletic in the conference.More abandoned grounds where City have played:

Always looked back on our first visit there with fond memories ,That was the day that photo was taken. Keith Alexander can be seen racing down the far wing.
Excellent photos and memories. Did the full set of away games in our 87/88 non-league debut season, then kept this 24 up to date as and when new clubs entered. Our return in 2011/12 thus meant few new actual locations. (Didn't follow Gateshead's temporary use of Boston etc!) Recently went to Harrogate thus getting 'Level 5' back up to date. Similar story with 92 grounds at higher level so will be going ground-hopping to Scotland now that Yeovil have cried off.More abandoned grounds where City have played:
