[Football] Do you know where this is?

Amazing, didn't realise it started as an out of town ground.

Sherlock Holmes stories around the turn of the century described heading north from Baker Street to the village of Edgeware, across open countryside.

The Amex will be like Wembley in 50 yrs, surrounded by Tower blocks of student accommodation!

Nowhere to park though

 

[BRIGHT ON Q]

Wasn't there an Eiffel tower structure half built where Wembley is? Certain I didn't dream it.

It upsets me greatly how much countryside is around it. Take me back to a time where we didn't just build all over fields everywhere.

Wasn’t Wembley stadium a Golf course before?

Don't think about what was underneath your house originally then.

So anyway, yes, it's the site of Wembley Stadium, 101 years ago.

Soon after...

More fun guessing games... oh, never. Too many d1cks like Brok around.

My great grandad was at this game. Bolton v West Ham (2-0 to Bolton). It’s the 1923 cup final. The crowd was estimated to be 130,000. People were breaking through the gates to get in and the crowd spilled onto the pitch. It gets called the White horse final because a policeman riding a white horse was used to clear the fans off the pitch.

Sorry for spoiling your question, I'd just had an operation and was high on Morphine.
'Trying to help' just seemed like a good idea at the time. Never mind.
