OT - The Pub Quiz Thread

Not Crewe then?

 

That looked too small for Oldham.....always imagined their ground to be larger...

 

Sorry Kilburn but Stroller is correct...it's Crewe's ground just done some research myself and it is deffinately not Oldham.....

 

Who's ground is this one then?

I stand corrected if this is not so - my answer was the result of research, not personal knowledge?

We need Nines to arbitrate!

 

Kilburn this might work.....


It doesn't, but it is from a website showing all grounds and this picture is listed as Gresty Road Crewe....

 

Well this apparently is Crewe, which definitely looks like Oldham off the other website, so perhaps the images are just incorrectly referenced on the one that Nines used and I found?

This is clearly the case, as this is Oldham, off the same website of the above Crewe stadium

So I guess I was right (matching the photo), but at the same time I was wrong!

 

Yes, Crewe stadium is right beside the railway, as one would expect given the rich railroad history.

 

The people who put these websites together need some proof readers!!!!

 

Have to say Crewe's ground actually looks quite nice compared to Oldham's which is a bit delapidated to say the least.....

 

After further research by myself & Tramore, it appears that the football stadium photo that Nines listed was indeed Crewe, and not Oldham as I had wrongly indicated, so Stroller should be the one next up with a question.

In the meantime, if anyone wants to take a stab at the above stadium photo? (hint: there is an R's connection)

 

My first go at this thread.

Don't the ladies play at Uxbridge? I havn't been there since the 60's but it could be that.

 

Sorry not that one.

 

OK, thanks Kilburn - Which English sportsman was awarded the George Medal for his heroic actions at a sporting event in which he was participating?

 

Exeter??

 

Cool, hope all was well.

 

No, but there is an R's connection - I guess the Exeter connection would have been Jamie Cureton, who has now moved on, as has that connection to this club.

 

I'll confess to looking this one up - - and there are 2, both racing drivers and both in 1973 - David Purley and Mike Hailwood - both pulled competitors from burning cars , Purley in the Dutch Grand Prix, Hailwood in the South African Grand Prix. Sadly Purley's efforts were in vain, but Hailwood saved Clay Reggazoni's life.
