On a London North Western Train from Euston to Birmingham New Street you can see Wembley, Watford, Northampton, Birmingham City and Aston Villa.
Stevenage as well, plus as we are that low down the pyramid Arlesey , and St neots too.
You can see it from the ECML around Hornsey depot.You can see Craven Cottage's floodlights (Fulham FC) from the district line when crossing The Thames.
Spurs' new stadium is clearly visible on the run between Angel Road and Northumberland Park.
Is it only been visible from Wavertree since they built the new Main Stand?Can you not see Anfield from the train anywhere?
The ground is visible from around Wavertree and New Brighton, and there are lines that are much closer.
Love it!! Except that my team will be playing Stevenage next season!Stevenage as well, plus as we are that low down the pyramid Arlesey , and St Neots too.
Football specials used to run to Wadsley Bridge station on the stub of the Woodhead line- platforms were retained there long after closure to regular passenger traffic.(Don't think it's been mentioned up thread). It is no longer true, but the instant I saw this thread title I thought of Hillsborough and the view you got of the ground after leaving Sheffield Victoria clunking along behind a "Tommy" in six Mk1s (in various liveries from maroon and blue-grey to SR green!)
The question I ask myself is why this is so imprinted in my mind's eye? I only saw the view maybe 5-6 times. I don't support Sheffield Wednesday, and I've never been to a match there - yet this image is seared into my memory.
Slightly more on topic - can you see Sheffield United's ground from somewhere around the Midland station? It's not far away as I remember? But maybe the tracks themselves are in cuttings? Long time since I was there.

Darlington.
Darlington at Feethams and the George Reynolds Arena
In season 1924/25, Darlington apparently played a D3N game on the adjacent cricket ground at Feethams because the football pitch was frozen and the cricket pitch wasn't.
You can't see both Dundee and Dundee United's grounds as Dundee station is below ground, and the stadiums are located at the opposite end of the city. Edinburgh City and Hibernian can both be seen five minutes after departing Edinburgh Waverley eastward, heading along the ECML.I don't know the, Dundee, Edinburgh (City & Hibs) grounds well enough to comment.
