Ahead of Saturday's derby between @SuttonUtdFC and @SCTFC here is an action pic from around 1985, when Town's Reserves met SUFC in the B'ham Junior Cup (I think) at Coles Lane. Only player I can identify is Mark Whitehouse (jumping). Think Town won 4-2 (not sure).

Haven't done a 'Guess the Ground' for a while. Clue: This ground is featured in the latest issue of @Groundtastic
On this day 100 years ago, goalkeeper Tommy Marshall signed this contract with his local club, @southport_fc, covering 1924/25 in the old Football Lge D3 North. He would be paid £2 10s in the firsts, or £1 10s in the reserves.
Tommy was my Great Uncle, but not in the bloodline.
Is this the most impressive stadium in Rugby League? @HurricanesRLFC take on @RochdaleHornets at the Alexander Stadium in Birmingham. Good turnout from Rochdale.

Action from the first ever meeting between @wisbechtownfc and @SCTFC - FA Cup 1Q at the magnificent Fenland Park, 13 Sept 1986. Sutton won 2-0, playing in the white shirts.
Congratulations Morecambe FC, lining up with Sheff Weds, Sunderland and Ipswich next season #Morecambe @ShrimpsOfficial

A European #GuessTheGround but you also have to name the landmark from which this picture was taken in 1987.
