Glandford is a reference to the Glands of Harrison Ford, which should not be confused with that…read morememorable scar on his chin. This stadium is dedicated to Harrison's Glands. First-Hand Experience: More info about my personal experience at this stadium - I've been to Glanford Park - twice actually, in 2011 and 2014, but I've yet to see a live game here. Despite that, I've managed to get inside, take pix and walk around, and I have to say it's a really underrated and fantastic stadium. Yes they may not fill it often (and that's why it loses a star), but for a place like Scunthorpe to have such a lovely little home ground is a real revelation. Every town should have a stadium like this. Bravo to the club and to the designers. I'm looking forward to watching a match here next time, and crossing it off my list. But, like every other stadium in the UK, it's off my "to visit" list already. I've been to most UK & US stadiums, due to lifelong obsessions with travel, sport & especially footy (soccer to Americans). Born & raised in England, I followed Oxford United (hometown team) to stadia all over the country at away games, and later Liverpool (fave team) around. Every stadium review - like all my reviews - are from first-hand personal experience, usually from several visits. In 2011, I was on music tour in the UK, and visited most stadiums for fun in my spare time. As recently as Fall 2014, when I was "stuck" in UK for 3 months, I went to hundreds yet again while travelling. I have pictures of me at most, which I'll post later. Also, when back in UK I'll take more pix, and add more stadia! *** return to regular review *** It's a typical little stadium, in the middle of a little town in the middle of nowhere. It's cute, and it's bolstered by the fact that a women's team plays here, but it's very tiny with less than 10k capacity. When Nigel Adkins was put in charge of the team that plays here, the fans sang "who needs Mourinho, we've got our physio." Lol. They moved here in 1988 and it's really nice because it keeps all the noise in despite being a tiny little place. So I fully support this stadium and it's awesome. Of all the away grounds I ever went to when supporting Oxford United as a kid or Liverpool as an adult, this was one of the nicest tiny ones. Now I need to go and shower becase I have to play quiz.

Just how old is the Old Showground? Old enough to have been abandoned a long time ago. There are no…read moreshows here, it no longer is a ground, in fact "Old" is the only part of this title which is accurate. First-Hand Experience: More info about my personal experience at this stadium - This was one of the places I came to as a kid when I was following Oxford around. Actually it was one of my first away trips and I remember it well because my Pen Pal was in Doncaster, and was supposed to meet me here for the game but never showed up. Nobody was particularly friendly and the stadium was pretty small. I was so sad that she didn't show, and remember how run down the place was. I'm not surprised they tore it down.

It's a good old memory for Scunthorpe fans though.
