Arsenal | 30 Sep 1887 | 12 Feb 1888 | Arsenal leased this former pig farm until the end of the 1887/88 season when they moved next door to Manor Field. Both were on the edges of Plumstead Marshes but the Sportsman's Ground suffered particularly badly from waterlogging. Arsenal were by now attracting several thousands fans but the Ground offered no facilities and may not even have been fully enclosed. |
