The Victoria Ground is the former site of the Stoke City Football Stadium between 1878 and 1997 before the new stadium (Britannia Stadium) was built.
For 12 years now the site has been a wastelands that had a nickname of the 'dog toilet' before it became fenced off in 2009 with no easy access for the public.
It's hard to believe that a stadium once stood there, even in 1997 it was thought to be the oldest operational football league ground in the world. Not even a monument stands there now. It's merely another eyesore for Stoke.
The site has plenty of potential for developers, it even has the River Trent passing by it.
This topic could prove interesting as a story for a non-fiction film as it holds memory and significance in the local community.
Potentially more on this topic soon!
