I think the Youtube quizmaster had a mare there. The stand at the "Roy Essandoh" end of Filbert Street is a double decker but looks very much different.
The amazing amount of historical photos of football grounds on the internet and utter sad cases like me soaking them up like a sponge means that "guess the ground" competitions are ruined a bit. I do fondly remember the ones posted on the original Gasroom in the early 2000s, they were very keenly contested!

Are you sure that isn't the Baseball Ground? That stand at the far end and the corner to the left are pretty distinctive.
That was my guess when I came across this quiz on YouTube recently.
The more I look, and check, the more sceptical about the reliability of the quiz author.
They claim it is Filbert Street, Leicester City taken in the 1970’s but I agree with you (and @Commoner) that it is the Baseball Ground, Derby County.

Aye, should’ve trusted my instincts. Trust me to use it for a guess the ground competition.
Terrible thread this.
Wouldn’t Filbert Street have cooling towers behind that far goal then?
Far side stand doesn’t look low enough.
This is the kind of nerd chat that gets my juices going.
Ahem, let’s try another (different source).
Griffin Park?
Priestfield
✔️
Where's my tick 🤣
I agree with you, it looks more like the Baseball than Filbert Street.
The next one, I was thinking Saltergate to begin with...
Haha! ✔️ we need a decider between you and the Marginalista!
Last one, fill yer boots!
Without looking anything up (or calling up Tom Watts to see which ground he advertised at), my guess is Carrow Road
Fuck sake. I didn’t realise you were such a ground nerd too. Aye, it’s Carrow Road. ✔️
