I don't think it's The Valley. Tho old ground had 3 sides of terracing but the fourth side was an all-seater stand that had a funny pointy roof (like the old Molyneux) and it was only a short stand i.e. it did not cover the whole length of the pitch, only about 2/3 of it with nothing at all near each corner. I can't find much on the net to show the stand - but this newsreel featuring Sam Bartram's 500 match vs Pompey is worth a look.
