My dad also went to Griffin Park, as well as the old Wembley, Layer Road, Reading's Elm Park, the old White Hart Lane and (I think) Brighton's Goldstone Ground.
I know that one of my grandads would have been to the Boleyn Ground / Upton Park.

Remember going to many of those mentioned. Amazing how many teams have moved grounds in the time I've been going to football. Anyone else go to the Nieuw Monnikenhuize for Frans's testimonial?

Griffin Park. Elm Park Upton Park Highbury Layer Road Goldstone Ground Filbert Street Vetch Field Old Den Victoria Ground Ninian Park Baseball Ground Manor Ground National Hockey Stadium, Milton Keynes Fellows Park Plough Lane Plus quite a few non league grounds, including - Underhill, Recreation Ground (Aldershot), The Stadium (Chelmsford), Brooklands (Romford) Watling Street (Dartford). Lynn Road (Ilford, used in the 1948 Olympics). Quite a depressingly long list, reflecting the financial struggles of many small clubs & the increase in town centre property values.

Two not mentioned already
Goldstone The Dell
I mentioned them! Goldstone Was a broken brick dump, the Dell brilliant. Peculiar stands right on top of the players. Great atmosphere and one of those where I saw us win, lose and draw and a couple of games as a neutral with a chum.
Griffin Park had a pub on each corner. I liked it.

Wembley, Spurs White Hart Lane, Swans The Vetch, Reading Elm Park, Man City Maine Road, Bury Gigg Lane (not sure if it still exists after the re-structuring of Bury FC), there's a good argument for Molineux not being what it was (I've been to the old ground and the newer rotated version of it); Coventry Highfield Road, Derby's Baseball Ground, Cardiff's Ninian Park.
Can't think of any more off the top of me noggin, although I might have been to Bolton's Burnden Park , but memory a bit hazy on that one.
Edit - and Oxford's Manor Ground

With regard to Wolves, nice argument (I’ve been to both and understand what you are saying) but if it was accepted by the Committee, would Chelsea’s old vs new Stamford Bridge count?
I think not

Most memorable was Burnden Park where I saw the best goal ever scored against us by Frank Worthington. We were standing behind the goal, so got an excellent view, and my memory is that we all applauded it.
