Just stumbled across this photo & I rather liked it so I thought I'd try get a thread going on here that wasn't to do with politics (No doubt it'll soon end up on page 2 with no replies!) So feel free to add some pictures of sporting venues with great backdrops, or in great locations, or with something unique about them etc...  3pts to any racing fan who can name the venue... Bonus point for the distance of the race (Big clue there!) |

Negative... But seeing as you mention it, it's not called Glorious Goodwood for nothing!  |

It was indeed Sandown Park, BigJohn! I'm going have to stop posting racecourses, so this will be my last. Santa Anita in California.  |

Without knowing if you're on PC/mobile etc... What search engine you use, Google, Yahoo, DuckDuckGo etc... And what browser you use, Firefox, Chrome, Opera etc... It's hard to help... So here's a picture instead   |

Thanks - PC/Google/Chrome I'm not sure about the Chrome part as I've never used it, but usually you should be able to search for the image you want (EG: Newlands Cricket Ground) Then click on the 'images' tab at the top. That should bring up a bunch of images for you to then select from. When you find one you like you should be able to click it to make it slightly bigger, then right click on it & 'open in new tab'. In this new tab you should then be able to see the picture in full size, again right click on it & select 'copy image address/location'. Once you have that you can post it on here by 'pasting' the 'url' you just copied inbetween [ img ] tags. The second img tag needs to have a '/'infront of it. so it would be [ img ] enter url here [ / img ] (Without those spaces - I had to put those so as it would show up.) I hope that makes sense |

No idea how to post pics in here but we went to the baseball stadium in St Louis Missouri years ago for a night game and got a great view of the Gateway Arch that dominates the city skyline from the stadium. View was better than the Cardinals game to be honest lol
