A City quiz - a welcome distraction

Is it something to do with roads changing their names?

[Bill 1,788]

not connected to their names as suchmore what we directly share with the occupants of those venues

[Ginja 26]

They all used to be standing? but due to the Taylor Report they converted to seating?

[Warren Hill 0]

Some of the grounds were built post-Taylor report Ginj, St Mary''s, King Power and Stadium of Light would have been all-seater since inception I think.

[Bill 1,788]

know your club''s history

[Ginja 26]

Well we used to play The Nest, so we''ve gone from a stadium not connected to a road name to a stadium connected to a road name.

My guess was that the others went from a stadium connected to a road name to a stadium not connected to road name but Ipswich play at Portman Road which we''ve nicknamed Poorman Road which isn''t connected to a road name! right? no... maybe...

Am I close?

[lappinitup 629]

They all had stands built by R G Carter.

Posters seem to be struggling (or just teasing) so I will throw in an unrelated easy-peasy question. Who (I think this is right) are the only two players to have scored in a European Championship final and against Norwich City in league competition?

[Bill 1,788]

When you say a European Championship final do you mean the Champions League or the Euros?

Purple - is Fernando Torres the other one?

[quote user="Warren Hill"]Torres[/quote]

 

Looks like I copied Warren, but I genuinely must have been typing my post as Warren posted his...(and yes, it would easily take me two minutes to type one sentence!!)  [:$]

 

 

The only other potential I could think of was Christiano Ronaldo, but I can''t recall him scoring against us.

Apparently his brother is a doctorWata Mata

[Herman 9,788]

What''s the answer?

[ricardo 7,395]

I give up. The clues seem very obscure.

[Wings of a Sparrow 1,421]

Another clue needed City 1st.

[Bill 1,788]

Villa was one of the first Palace one of the last

if that don''t do it then I don''t know what will bar me telling you

ps you all know this

[Mr Angry 1,566]

I know several of the grounds-including ours-have had roof problems but I can''t believe the newer ones have?

[ricardo 7,395]

You''ll have to tell us. This is either going to be so obscure or so simple that we are going to say FFS!!!!

[Bill 1,788]

I think the latterso 1st of a the clues that will give it away81

you will know the answer from these

[ricardo 7,395]

The 81 bus stops right outside each stadium.
