I have a feeling it is White Hart Lane, Tottenham; before the construction of the famous "Archibald Leitch" East Stand (top right of the image, with the open parkland immediately behind).
For anyone interested, it appears in The Optimists of Nine Elms, a late Peter Sellers film. They actually walk up outside Craven Cottage but then the shots inside the ground are Stamford Bridge.
I'm rather enjoying it as a snapshot of 70s London, and Peter Sellers is always watchable. Apparently Keith Chegwin makes an uncredited appearance at some point.
I did in 1978 when i had a burst ulcer i think i was on the 6th floor,i do remember my brother and my mates waving at me the only thing that annoyed me was i couldn't see the goal in the hospital end.

Fratton Park
Incorrect I’m afraid!
Hmm, based on the terraced houses and that maybe that's a park at the top... Anfield?
It appears to only have three sides - is it the design for the pnl's possible new ground?
Great effort!
However, it’s good but it’s not quite right!
I realised afterwards - the park is behind the Anfield Road end. I've bloody been there as well!
Oh... Goodison then?

I know it isn't Luton, but that street of houses almost in the ground is Kenilworthesque
Deepdale?
Don't think it Goodison as no church in the corner
Has to be a big city club. Maine Road?
I'm going to guess Meadow Lane, because of the proximity of the houses, and the fact it's next to a big field...
That's a great shout @floyd. Every time I've been there it seems to be on top of a mountain. But you can't really tell from an aerial photograph
Stoke . Victoria road
Seconded. Almost certain it is.
Well done @BlueBoy and @Cyclops, White Hart Lane it is …
Brilliant!
This just appeared in an old film I'm watching, wondered if anyone knew the ground?
Stamford Bridge.
Indeed!
It's crazy how relatively recently it still looked like that

A really odd movie. It's like watching the Children's Film Foundation doing Midnight Cowboy.

The infamous Shed.
Just because…….
Did anyone on here ever stay in the hospital and watch a match from up there?

I was at the hospital, and missed a match, the day my son was born. But I'm not sure that counts.
