Absolutely ! (I'll let you off Freddie Bunce - making money)
I could have added - the first game I watched, but wouldn't have helped much. McNeice, Chung, Benning, Hartle, Holton.
Cliff scored from outside the penalty area - absolute rocket. I'd never seen the ball hit as hard. If the goalkeeper had got to it, he would just have disappeared into th net with the ball. I became a Watford fan that very day. I just can't remember the opposition. I expect it was Reading, we seemed to play them every week!

Off you go.
 
Cheers BB. Where is the largest stadium integrated solar power plant in the World ? ( a football stadium which supplies all its own electricity and also the neighbourhood).
Lusail Stadium in Qatar, purpose built for the FIFA World Cup.
Currently the Antalya Stadium in Turkey for club football.

Neither of those Fez. The stadium in question has 300,000 square metres of solar panels and generates 700,000 KwL. It is in Europe. Unfortunately from a footballing point of view it isn't perfect having a synthetic pitch. It will host one of the Europa League last 16 matches.
 
Is that the one near you - Stadion Koln?
Nope, sorry BB. The Cologne Ice Hockey stadium is the Lanxess Arena which is not used for football. This is primarily a football stadium which, because of the artificial pitch, is easily used for ice hockey and concerts as well. The stadium is also used for international matches - making it one of the only national stadiums where football is not played on real grass. The English national team have played there and it will be used for one of the Europa League last 16 games (second leg).
