Johnnyshaker Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 Hi all, I found this photo earlier of Bellahouston Park on wiki from 1938 and wondered if anyone knew what the two grounds were just down from top left? I'm fairly certain that's Ibrox at the top so were the other two football grounds as well as they look to have stands? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stirlish Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 not sure, but could be Benburb Juniors and St Anthony's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigAl Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 That's a fantastic photo of the Empire Exhibition. According to this site - https://pastmap.org.uk/map - the one nearest Ibrox is the Albion Greyhound Race Course (now a car park) and the other is White City Sports Ground (now a police station across the road from the Palace of Arts). A couple of other pictures of both here: https://canmore.org.uk/site/297800/glasgow-paisley-road-white-city-sports-ground https://canmore.org.uk/site/297806/glasgow-broomloan-road-albion-greyhound-race-course Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toepoke Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 The White City Stadium was demolished to make way for the M8. Glasgow Tigers speedway team then relocated to Hampden. The photo also features the Palace of Engineering which was moved brick by brick to Prestwick Airport and remains there today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
