Uk Football Grounds you can see from Motorways

[Stourport wolf]

Not sure if there is still a stadium there and haven't been there for many years, but maybe Bury's Gigg lane. It is just a guess and I am probably wrong.

I'd need to go out in the car to confirm my suspicions but I think you can see St James’ Park, Newcastle, from the Tyne Bridge A167(M), and possibly even from the Jesmond end of the A1058(M) which is certainly the more tenuous motorway.

You can see it from the A1.

North circular and A40?

North circular and A40?

thats the way I went last year

 

[Bossworld]

You can see it from the A1.

Don’t want to be too pedantic, but seeing as I’m nerdy enough to call out the 100 metres or so of the coast road that’s still got blue Motorway signage, I don’t believe the Western Bypass has motorway classification

Think the A1(M) designation finishes at J65 for the A194(M).

That said, I’ve been out past the Angel maybe three times in the last 12 months so happy to be proven wrong! Tend to pay the money to use the tunnel these days instead.

think at night you can see the lights at smallsall, the vile and some dump in sandwell on the m6.
don`t try this if driving!

Well you certainly can’t see it from in the tunnel!!

Bristol Rovers were my first thought on this! It's the M32 so definitely a motorway, built by around 1975. Don't think I've ever seen any ground closer to a motorway than Eastville was. Lived a stones throw from there for a while in early 90's. The stadium was still there for a few years, though Rovers had already vacated and it was a greyhound stadium. Used to walk through it quite often, it was in a state of decay. Eventually got pulled down and replaced by Ikea.

Above, Eastville visible on the left (1949-1970 OS map) - On the right you can see the M32 (with the new IKEA store is where the ground used to be).

So, indeed, you can see just how close it was.... (see below)

Westfalenstadion.
The B1, Hitler's first motorway, goes through the centre of Dortmund, right by the ground.

 

[Stourport wolf]

You can nearly see the railway station from Kiddy Harriers ground.

 

[Frank Lincoln]

Kirby Muxloe FC from the M1 between J 21a and 22.

 

[Bogota Wolf]

Westfalenstadion.

Ok Sid, if we are going to go European, I can add 1 Fc Koeln, the wretched Bayer Leverkusen, Ajax, Sparta Rotterdam and Feyenoord. Rheims, Metz and Stade de France too.

 

[Tufts back]

Done many journeys through France, always seem to miss the grounds lol.
Actually we might have seen Rennes enroute to Brittany/Vendeé

You drive under PSG ground. A bit of an experience

Is that similar to the Ajax ground with its under the pitch car park?

I’ve not seen the Ajax ground.
PSG ground has a dual carriageway with exits running underneath. I didn’t really take it in as I was lost in my camper van in rush hour traffic and sat nav packed up as we went under

There's one of those at the Emirates too. Never used due to terrorism fears.
