I came across this on balls.ie. Quite difficult, how many can you get? I only got 6. :(

8 out of the 12. Hard enough!
Very proud. 12/12!
9 I got. Missed portlaoise of all places!
Got 8. 3 of those missed were at grounds I had never visited.
Only 6. :(
Its not my fault they keep putting us in Croker.
Good quiz. Some grounds do look terrible. Only scored 7.
11 out of 12.
Got all 12 ;D Am I just a saddo or a superfan??
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.

Seems to be a lot of lads here with helicopters alright.
Or just an excellent memory :D
10/12.
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 ;)
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.
12/12 easy enough tbh 8), that was an old picture of markievicz, stand goes full length now, and North terrace is complete,
8/12,Not easy.

11/12 Myself. Aughrim, thought that place was just a myth.

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.
It's no Dunnes Stores
Pearse Stadium is easy enough anyway being so close to the sea and having the Prairie right beside it.

And the traffic jams for miles around....
Missed out on Fitzgerald and Esler never been to either so happy enough with 10/12.
10, missed Aughrim and Sligo which is ironic as I've been at both in the last 10 months
Got 9, tricky enough but disappointed with the ones I missed.
9 out of 12. Some great guesses

Only two of us have admitted to this technique.
