Kepier Haughs was a football ground in Durham in England. It was the home ground of Durham City between 1920 and 1923. ==History== Located to the north of Kepier Hospital, the site was originally used as a rifle range until Durham City moved to the ground in 1920.〔Paul Smith & Shirley Smith (2005) ''The Ultimate Directory of English & Scottish Football League Grounds Second Edition 1888–2005'', Yore Publications, p72, ISBN 0954783042〕 The only spectator facility was a wooden seated stand.〔 In 1921 Durham were elected to the Third Division North of the Football League, and the first Football League match played at the ground on 3 September 1921 saw Durham beat Southport 2–0 in front of 3,800 spectators. On 3 December 1921 the ground's record attendance of 7,886 was set for an FA Cup match against Darlington. However, the ground's location some distance from the city centre made it unpopular with supporters, and in 1923 the club relocated to Holiday Park, taking with them the wooden stand. The last League game played at Kepier Haughs was on 5 May 1923 when Durham beat Barrow 4–1 in front of only 1,000 spectators, equalling the lowest recorded attendance at the ground.〔 The ground is now used as a school playing field.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kepier Haughs」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
