Anyone got any bloody hard football questions

[JetsetJimbo]

Any more punts on the [now defunct] club side with the highest ground capacity in the history of the English Football League. First and second. Second is contentious (Maine Road and/or Stamford Bridge may well have at one point been bigger) but first is seemingly unequivocal.

I don't know who has guessed what. But I'm going to suggest either Corinthian or Glossop.

It's not something like the Oval, is it?

White city,corinthians or something

Amateur clubs I believe (ie never in the FL) whatever their capacities...

According to wikipedia he played for Taylor at 6 clubs
Dover, Gillingham, Leicester, Brighton, hull & Stevenage

Yeah, but apparently he didn't actually sign him for Dover, he was already there. And Dover aren't a league club. But it's just another part of their special relationship.

He did score the last hat trick there though didn't he? Against West Ham I think. So I'm guessing they got a consolation goal but I really can't remember!

Edit: think I had a rush of blood to the head, and suddenly have a feeling I'm in a right twisty-mix-up lol!

No, it's definitely a home player. And judging by the responses so far, I think I'm going to be here a while....

I guess clubs may have played at places like the Oval, Wembley, Twickenham a bit (eg Arsenal playing CL games at Wembley a few years back) but these are clubs permanently based at one ground...

Ok I've cheated, and apparently it was in fact Thierry. Against Wigan (begins with W so I was close):

"Arsenal's final game at the stadium was their FA Premier League match on 7 May 2006 against Wigan Athletic, the last game of the season. The team needed to better the result of neighbours Tottenham Hotspur in order to again secure qualification for the Champions League. Having been 2-1 behind, a hat trick by captain and all-time leading goal scorer Thierry Henry secured qualification, with Henry kneeling down to kiss the turf on scoring what proved to be the final goal seen at the stadium."

Didn't there used to be a London club called Thames United or Thames FC or something? I don't know where they played, but there are a lot of big grounds in London...

Is the correct answer! Thames AFC had a 120k capacity (only Wembley, 127k at one point, has had more). The total attendance from their two years in the league was less than the capacity. Wore Palace colours and got shit gates - go figure. New Brighton [Tower] FC (Liverpool 'seaside') arguably second placed with 100k although Chelsea and Man City claim similar and I guess it's impossible to prove as none were filled...
