[quote user="lake district canary"]Hillside Ave School, to 1967, Mrs Stannard, Mrs Wright, Mr Chase, Miss Groom, Mr Loveday to name a few. Thorpe Grammar thereafter......jumpers for goalposts.......[/quote]In a more innocent age maybe but I doubt there''s many teachers called Chase and Groom left in classrooms these days.......[:(]

City 1st, I''ve got a VHS copy of Rejected FC and, with your extra clue, I am 99% certain where this is.

Would 1970 add a bit more context to the clue..?

The triangle bit on the stand roof makes .e think it could be a ground where I went to see us play on boxing day in the 70s. One of the original members of football league?

This is a really tough one!

I''ve come up with, in no particular order...

Brisbane Road - Leyton Orient

Goodison Park - Everton

Molineux - Wolves

But I think out of the three it could be our old gold friends from the midlands?

[/quote]OK. Which player, then with Bradford Park Avenue, did we try to buy in the mid-1960s? Instead he went to a rival Division Two team, with whom he won the Division One title twice, played in the European Cup (reaching the semi-final) and was capped twice for England.As a follow-up, name another Yorkshire ground (excluding Hull''s Boothferry Park), no longer used for League football, at which we played within the last 50 years.

Got the player. The back of his Topps card in 1977 was the only one that featured the exotic team name of Bradford PA.

Didn''t know we tried to sign him.

How much more successful would we have been with his goals?!

 

As for the club, I have a couple of guesses but I don''t know if we played at either.

 

Both start with the same letter and both have the same suffix.

 

I''m going for the one that currently has a connection with a well-known brand of beer?
