Nope. One more guess.

Lets go for Wolves

[Ark Royal]

It is Hull City's Anlaby Road ground. They originally played on the adjacent Circle Cricket Ground in 1905, but moved next door a year later. In 1950, they moved to Boothferry Park. They moved back to the old Circle site where the KC Stadium was built and opened in 2002.

I fear we could have been here some time trying to guess that.

[Ark Royal]

Last one.

The club did a MK Dons and moved to this ground in a different town from their original home town. They later moved back to a new stadium in their town of origin.

You should follow up every wrong answer with a geographical clue.

Darlington.

[Ark Royal]

Too far north.

[NathStPaul]

Grimsby Town?

Certainly not anywhere in the east of the country.

[NathStPaul]

Exeter City?

[Simmops]

Shrewsbury

[Ark Royal]

Exeter City?

..and nowhere in the west either. Go a bit more central and further north.

I was going to say Brighton but probably doesn't fit geographically because they ground shared with Gillingham for a few seasons

Chesterfield?
