great bit of trivia from a cracker last night!

[Lammy]

We had our works Xmas do last night (early I know).

Anyway in my cracker I had this great bit of trivia;

What two teams in the English leagues never have to wear their away strips?

 

[CHAPPERS]

Preston North End?
Burnley?

 

[Marshy]

plymouth ?

 

[Lokki 7]

Wolves?

 

[Lammy]

one correct answer so far...

Bonus points if you can say WHY?

 

[captainmorganrum]

Preston cos they were the first Champions?

 

[Lammy]

Preston cos they were the first Champions?

Close enough. According to the all knowing craker it is because they were the first ever team. (I thought it was Nott County so you may be right)

 

[Lammy]

The other club is much harder to get...

 

[bhafc4eva]

Reading because it is the queens county?

 

[CHAPPERS]

Swindon.

 

[Lammy]

Reading because it is the queens county?

Yep! That's it!

Preston North End because they were the first established league club.

Reading because they are from the Royal county of Berkshire.




Not bad from a cracker I thought!

 

[Barnet Seagull]

But it isn't true is it?

 

[Lammy]

But it isn't true is it?

Only the cracker knows for sure...

 

[bhafc4eva]

But it isn't true is it?

Yep it is true but think about it, the clubs obviously want to wear an away shirt for revenue reasons etc.

But it isn't true is it?

Sadly a myth indeed.

What about Norwich. Surely no ones home strip clashes with that horrible yellow.

 

[Albion Rob]

So, am I right in saying that they DO wear their away kit, probably for marketing reasons etc, but they don't HAVE to wear it if they don't want to meaning they have the right to force the home team to wear a change strip.

Or they could play skins I supppose.

 

[Wilts]

Q. Name two teams who end with a letter that no other team ends with...

 

[Albion Rob]

Queens Pasrk Rangers

Hamilton Academicals.

 

[The Great Cornholio]

Are you all forgetting when they come to the Goldstone with their away kit of blue and yellow hoops? We had to wear pink at home. This 'fact' did the rounds then.
