| The Wednesday Football Club (1870–1877) | |
Myrtle Road is a former home ground ofThe Wednesday Football Club and was located on the street of the same name, near the centre ofSheffield,South Yorkshire, England. In 1870 Wednesday leftHighfield and made the short trip to Myrtle Road. The exact location of the site is not known although the road is on a very steep hill and it is thought that the ground was near the top. It has been suggested that Wednesday played on the Ball Inn Recreation Ground on the south side of Myrtle Road as this is the only flat piece of land in the area.[1]
Wednesday stayed at Myrtle Road until 1877 when they played their last game there, a 0–0 draw in front of a large attendance againstHeeley. Wednesday then moved again toSheaf House.
