Time for another grounds quiz.

It’s been some while since there’s been a grounds quiz on here, so, with no first team game this week I think it’s time to have another one. Here are forty five photos of grounds no longer in use by the club which once played there that Cardiff City have visited for league games since their acceptance into the Football League almost a hundred years ago. Where possible, the pictures are of how the grounds would have looked when we first played there or what they look like now – to give you a bit of help with the questions, I’ve named a City player who scored a goal for us at each ground. Answers to follow in a few days time.
