Team: Wigan Athletic
Ground: Springfield Park
First Visit: 11th August 2011
After looking around the DW Stadium, we decided to find the site where Springfield Park once stood. The ground was demolished in 1999 and the land is now occupied by a Housing Estate. The only reminder that the area used to be a football ground is one of the road names is named after Wigan Athletic legend Harry Lyon, who holds the record for Wigan of the most goals scored in a season (66) and the most goals scored (273). Apart from that, there is nothing left at Springfield Park to remind you that there was once a football ground on the site.
