Another grounds quiz for the new season.

CoymayI blame the Welsh football team entirely for the fact that I never got around to doing the two or picture quizzes I’d planned for the summer, but here’s one at least for the new season.

Here are pictures of twenty five grounds that Cardiff City will be playing at in 2016/17, can you name them? I’ll put the answers on here in the middle of next week sometime.
