A bit of stadium trivia

Post by Selby White »

Which two stadiums have hosted a Cricket test match, a England football international and the FA Cup final ?

The Oval, London
Brammal Lane, Sheffield
Owners come and go but Leeds United will be there forever, for the fans - keep Marching on Together.

Yep. Funnily enough the Bramall Lane question was on comms during Yorkshire’s recent game & via Twitter I was the first to answer correctly :D A lot said Bradford Park Avenue

Love the Oval it’s a great venue. A couple of years back play stopped due to rain & a couple of us wandered around the members area looking at all the various paintings & memorabilia it took a couple of hours but was well worth it. The Surrey members love Yorkshire playing there as they set up a separate bar which serves nothing else but Yorkshire bitter. The stock normally only lasts 2 days though :D

Agreed I much prefer the Oval to Lords, only been once to each ground but the people at Lords were very stuck up and were completely different in South London.

Was going to post the above. I think Sheffield was fairly obvious with the cricket ground and football ground in the same stadium but was guessing the Oval due to the size.
I think the Oval was turned into allotments during the war.
I once played against Don Revie.
