Brentford's new ground due to space constraints is a little weird looking.

Eriskay, a stadium of rocks.

Interesting as that ground is, it's not a stadium is it.

Been there several times, must admit I don't recall a hedge.

I do remember turning up one afternoon and getting an absolute SOAKING in the away end, it pissed down for the whole game. I also recall being utterly agog at the size of Peter Brezovan, who could touch the crossbar without even jumping. It was his Albion debut, I think he saved a pen that day as well.

Struggling to remember when it was, but fair to say it was a long time back. I think they only had 3 sides of the ground, at the time, as they were tearing down the stand to our right as we looked. Don't have a strong recollection of the day, but I distinctly remember seeing the ball sail over my head at into the hedge at the back of the terrace.

It is if they stand on the rocks.

This isn't a photoshop, it is real and alive in Sheffield.

Google says that (was) in Olympiapark, Munich.

If we're posting random finds from the internet:

I was just looking at stadiums, I'm a bit of a train spotter with stadia, love them quirky. There is one where one side is basically a mountain/cliff edge. A Scottish pro side is literally on the beach. And another where a railway runs underneath it I believe.

Could be, I picked it up from a Sheffield forum, although not random, I've seen it many times online before.

Definitely was a hedge at Exeter, probably through to the 70s.

Looks like Huddersfield would be without the right hand stand

This ground was featured in 4-4-2 last month, has to be one of the most unique stadium designs - Bursaspor in Turkey

The building which is behind one of the goals was also an outdoor swimming pool. Looks like it might be covered now. Either that or the swimming pool is gone. I used to love holidays as a kid up there. Especially as one of them was the heatwave of 1976

Can you imagine Yves Bissouma playing at that ground. The ball would never be out of the water with his shooting accuracy
