Yep, 1969 at The Crabble in the Southern League Premier. Ian Cooke scored in a 1-1 draw.

from the question - not the picture!
Looks like Dover to me because of the steep hill along the side. Went in the 70s when there was a fight behind the goal, possibly between our fans.

Big day for Newport IW FC, first home game at their new ground The Wight fibre Stadium tonight. 7 years as nomads and finally a (forever) home ground to call their own. That battle began in 2004/05. [Link]

I’d say that’s John O’Mara, back in the late sixties, and AI has made him look slightly less ungainly than he actually was.

No way that photo is from 1999 or 1990. Nor is that Peter Shilton. Does look like the Baseball Ground though.

Is that ramshackle stadium really the Baseball Ground? If it is the surely we could have stayed at Plough Lane?

Just reread the text and it says 1990 so ignore previous remark. 1999 should read 1990?

I remember the Ray Goddard penalty. Last game of the 1980-81 season. He scored against Neville Southall in goal for Bury when we were already losing 3-0 and ended up losing 4-2. It didn't matter as we were already promoted. Goddard had a terrible kick. He could barely reach the half way line. I was surprised he kicked the penalty hard enough to hit the net. I was behind the goal in the West Bank end at the front so had a good view of it. These days keepers were huge gloves and short sleeve tops. Goddard wore blue tracksuit bottom and flimsy gloves (if any at all).

£30 to sit in a gazebo at Bromley with poles obscuring the view. Bargain.
The Ray Goddard one was a penalty. It was his last game for us and I think we were promoted from the 4th division iirc.

The one I remeber was almost exactlly like the Gateshead one, Frank Smith clearance, City keeper close to edge of box and it bounces over him (8th January 1966 and we still lost 2-1)
