Drazen Muzinic 1,444 Posted June 22, 2011 Is is something to do with temporary stands or seating or building work?Didn''t Arsenal have that mural up when we went there in ''92?And Fulham had those temporary seats behind the goal at the Putney tube end.Pompey are always tinkering with their ground...?I did think of alliteration as well;Goldstone Ground...Craven Cottage...Highbury (Hill)...then realised I was clutching at straws.Are we correct with Palace for the 2011 friendly? Could be Gorleston or Sarfend or Cov.Brain hurts now...going to bed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bill 1,788 Posted June 22, 2011 pretty much spot on, good work(last two should have given it away) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PurpleCanary 5,553 Posted June 22, 2011 [quote user="City1st"]pretty much spot on, good work (last two should have given it away)[/quote] --- If it''s venues, then based on the various clues the list has grown to the Goldstone Ground, Craven Cottage, Selhurst Park, Griffin Park, Highbury, Fratton Park, Wembley (old version), the Munich Olympic Stadium and Brisbane Road! NC1 deserves the chance to set the next cryptic question for working out the link between all nine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bill 1,788 Posted June 22, 2011 Quick clarification/recapSelhurst Park can be ignored as purist might dispute itBrisbane Road is one of geographyAll others are football grounds of City triumphs/tragedies linked by .... (over to you NC1) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Drazen Muzinic 1,444 Posted June 22, 2011 Hmmmnnnn.... Not sure about the Munich Stadium but the story in the news about the GB Olympic team row has jogged my memory about Griffin Park and The Goldstone being used after the war for the Olympics. But that doesn''t fit the clue about Orient either... Grrr. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
