Match Day Thread Hull City v Southampton

[ElTigre]

The Spitfire was born in Southampton, and first flew from Southampton airport on 5th March 1936.

Southampton is the only city in the UK with a geothermal power station

Clarence Birdseye first tested fish fingers for Britsh eaters in 1955 in Southampton The original filling was herring, but people in Southampton preferred the cod version.

God lives in Southampton. In 1417, England’s first-ever dedicated artillery fortification was built in Southampton. God’s House Tower

Sir Tim Berners-Lee – the English genius lauded for inventing the World Wide Web – works at the University Of Southampton as a Professor in the Computer Science Department.

Southampton Civic Centre was the first building in the country to have the name Civic Centre

The Mayflower, the famed ship which brought the Pilgrim Fathers to America, actually set sail from Southampton. There were in fact two ships - The Mayflower and The Speedwell, which left Southampton together in early August, 1620.
However, the smaller Speedwell was soon found to be taking on water, so the two ships diverted to Dartmouth for repairs before setting sail again, only for The Speedwell to spring yet another leak. All the passengers then clambered onto The Mayflower and continued on for Cape Cod in New England that September.

Before jet travel came to the fore, Southampton was the primary access into Europe

Each cruise ship docking in Southampton is worth around £2.5 million to the local economy.

Southampton has the oldest Bowling Green in the world dating from before 1299

Southampton's Cenotaph is the model for the Cenotaph in Whitehall, London.

The Ordnance Survey is based in Southampton.

St Michael's Church has the oldest brass lectern in the country dating from around 1350 and which is in the form of an eagle.

Southampton's Victorian Cemetery is the second oldest municipal cemetery.

Henri Portal, a Huguenot refugee, escaped to Southampton from France and in 1724, in Hampshire, founded Portals, the company that was granted leave to produce paper for Bank of England notes.

Southampton played home matches at Portsmouth's ground, Fratton Park during World War II after a bomb landed on the Dell pitch.

During the 1988/89 season Saints created history by becoming the first club to include three brothers in a First Division match. For those that like to tax their brains, I've put the names of who they are at the bottom of the post so you can try and guess.

Alan Shearer started his career at Southampton, after being spotted by Southampton scout Jack Hixon. Gareth Bale and Theo Walcott also started out there.

Southampton claim a rivalry with Spurs. Largely based on Spurs nicking "when the saints go marching in".

Graham Souness signed Ali Dia thinking he was George Weah's cousin. Dia regularly tops the list of worst professional footballers and couldn't hold a place in none league sides.

Southampton are the last club to receive the FA cup from the Queen

If it's true the Mayflower really sailed from Southampton someone should try changing the Wikipedia page for the ship. Somehow I don't think it would be long before the page was put back to the ship sailing from Plymouth.

 

[bum_chinned_crab]

I've never been to Southampton.

I don't know anyone who has been to Southampton.

I've never heard anyone say "I'm off for a weekend in Southampton".

I don't know any distinguishing feautures or landmarks in Southampton.

Until I read this thread I couldn't tell you anything about the city of Southampton.

Is Southampton even a city?

I'm not saying Southampton is ****, nobody even cares enough to slag it off.

The Mayflower sailed from Southampton

IT IS seven years until Plymouth celebrates the supposed sailing of the Mayflower and the Pilgrim Fathers from Plymouth. Why is this?

It is an historical fact that the Mayflower, with the Pilgrim Fathers on board sailed from Southampton in August 1620, not Plymouth. It appears that because the Mayflower was forced to put into Plymouth for urgent repairs and was unable to leave until September 16, 1620, that Plymouth feels that she sailed from here.

We suppose that technically, after the repairs had been completed, the Mayflower did once again put to sea, but in no way can it be denied that she did, without any argument, start her voyage from Southampton. This has been confirmed during quizzes on BBC TV.

Well that's put my mind at rest. I don't think I would have slept tonight without you confirming that.

Your thanksgiving is appreciated.

Southampton played a major role in the success of fish fingers. Clarence Birdseye tested herring sticks and cod sticks on shoppers in Southampton and South Wales. The Southampton customers loved the cod sticks, which then became known as fish fingers and rolled out across the country.

Well if the Pilgrim Fathers got on at Southampton then the Yanks should celebrate that.

My mother received a medal for her work on an ack ack battery defending the Spitfire factory. Never knew until I came across it and her invitation to Buckingham Palace in a tin in a drawer when I was about 14.
