Can anybody help in identifying where this match took place? It is said to be a match in England from the turn of the century. Does anybody recognise the skyline? I think it unlikely that the match itself can be identified.

Is that the old Crystal Palace in the background?

Thanks  I thought maybe Crystal Palace. Well done, especially Barry for the pic. Fancy trying to double your money (1 rouble btw) and go for the match? Possibly a cup final? |

Derby County played there a few times so I'd guess that they are the team in white.

They lost 6-0 to Bury in 1903. Spurs in 1901? Bolton in 1904? |

Looks like it could be the same set of picture of the 1898 cup final between Nottm Forest and Derby County.

From the station at Colchester
To the cells of Warrington
From the services at Leicester
To the slums of Northampton
We travel over England
And one day Europe too
Cos we all follow the Swindon
We're the famous Town End crew.
