Where is that venue

A place to chat about anything thats not football related. Most of the threads in here are completely pointless which is why people keep coming back and back. As the forum title suggests, feel free to make any post you want on any subject you wish. It also has Adult jokes (so be warned) which is the other reason people keep coming back.

:lol: I'm going to be incredibly gullible here and ask if this is a true story? Not the part about the WWFC rules!

If true......., this will explain the Chelmsford invasion! :D

Apologies to Saint and everyone else taking part for the chit chat. I'm bad for that.

Off for a bacon & egg McMarconi....... Err, I mean, McMuffin

The answer could feasibly be the Reebok Arena also ?

(Must be awkward for clubs when they have to change their stadium name to keep up with team sponsorship)

but clue 2 was, in 2014 the Stadium changed its name, so you have to go by the current name .

but the clue, Pitch Size110 x 72 yards (100.6 x 65.8 metres, was bigger when it was the Reebok Arena , I thought that's how Lucy got it right.

You're not supposed to cheat damn it, or use reference

Sorry and you're not alone in this, but the purpose of these things is to use your own knowledge - not other peoples

I'd ask that no further instances of this are seen again - please do not use searches if you do not know the answer, it spoils it for other participants and it's not really deserving of another attempt.

Edit sorry Mark I hadn't seen your response after, but the fact remains, don't like it when these things occur

We'll allow Lucy to continue

It,s Saints Football and he will take it home if we don't play by his rules. :wink:
Don't remember him saying at the start using your brain power only.
I was right just looked at the start of this thread and it does not say you cannot use aunty Google for help.
Be careful Lucy otherwise ......Saint may become :evil:

You're simply supposed to provide a best guess with each clues supplied. If you know the answer even better

One last time, please no breach of fair play

The latest question, is it Maine Road Manchester
