Sorry I haven't been on here all night.
The correct answer is Crystal Palace, taken at the 1901 FA Cup Final.

Am I right in thinking that this isn't a football ground at all.

The track around the pitch has small floodlights all round so that indicates that the track is used more than the pitch.

I thought initially it was a running track but the gap between the seating and track would not be as wide for athletics so my guess is that it is a speedway track. It also has a stand which suggests that it is used all year round and an athletics track probably wouldn't have a stand being as they are only used in the summer. I think the tractor is removing the covers. (used to watch speedway years ago). There's a double barrier as well in front of the seating which you also have on a speedway track.

So I'm going for a speedway track but I don't know where.

You're right with speedway. It was originally a football ground but has been adapted for speedway.

I am guessing but it is either an English non league ground or a lower division Scottish ground, possibly the home of a football team that play in yellow shirts, going by the colour of the seating.
