Poor enough only got 6. The Marshes looks like a dump in that photo.

Phew, got 6 at least midway. Many of those grounds look nothing like that anymore. Tricky enough

10/12. Not bad. Hyde and Aughrim caught me out!

Douze points. Got 9 without looking at the options.

Nine, got Castlebar and Sligo wrong, have never been to either ground. Disappointed I didn't recognise Aughrim though.

5 out of 12. Disappointing but in fairness I don't usually fly to the matches.

Well you'd know some of them. That's why Portlaoise maddened me. It didn't look like I remember it, and I fecking played there a few times. Like you can see the graveyard in Roscommon, the multi coloured seated open area in Pair ui Chaoimh, etc etc. Semple Stadium and the Gaelic Grounds I'd know well. And if you know some of the others in the multiple choice, by process of elimination you have it.

In Portlaoise the buildings overlooking the ground are only under construction in this pic.

10/12 - raging I got Portlaoise wrong!

Also missed Killarney, I think I was expecting to see mountains ;)

Post by: Crete Boom on May 28, 2014, 09:59:50 AM
 12 out of 12 although Killarney and Portlaoise were educated/wild guesses. I knew the rest of them which kind of scares/saddens me!!!

I knew Killarney from the new bit of Terrace down at the back of the goal. It's really white compared to the rest, because it's so new.

Exactly the same, although I must admit some 'educated' guesses came off.

Missed a few that I hadn't been to plus Aughrim. 8/12.

9 without looking at the multiple choice. Missed out on the Hyde, Markievicz and Aughrim, haven't been at the last 2, yet.

Missed the Hyde? I thought that graveyard was one of the most iconic backdrops to a gaa pitch.

Pearse Stadium is easy enough anyway being so close to the sea and having the Prairie right beside it.

10, missed Aughrim and Sligo which is ironic as I've been at both in the last 10 months

Only two of us have admitted to this technique.
