Title: Football Question Post by: swindonbob on Tuesday, January 6, 2009, 11:43:00 Can anyone tell me what was the last Premiership game to be called off because of bad weather? Cheers.
Title: Re: Football Question Post by: Rich Pullen on Tuesday, January 6, 2009, 11:45:30 My guess was the Monday night game, Birmingham vs. Bolton in 2005 due to fog.
Title: Re: Football Question Post by: janaage on Tuesday, January 6, 2009, 12:01:47 Is that, that one answered then? If so...
(Without looking up the answer) which team was the last to field a entirely english team in the FA Cup final? Title: Re: Football Question Post by: Rich Pullen on Tuesday, January 6, 2009, 12:06:54 Crystal Palace? I'm not too bad at FA Cup Final questions... Cue wrong answer!
Title: Re: Football Question Post by: janaage on Tuesday, January 6, 2009, 12:07:37 Spot on, team before that?
Title: Re: Football Question Post by: Rich Pullen on Tuesday, January 6, 2009, 12:08:36 West Ham in the 70's.
Title: Re: Football Question Post by: Panda Paws on Tuesday, January 6, 2009, 12:09:10 Back to the first question...Dec 2005, Newcastle - Charlton? postponed due to icy conditions around the ground?

West Ham in 3 finals only fielded one "foreign" player, a Scottish full back in 1980. Previous to the 1975 final, (one in the sixties) was 100% english including the managers. Title: Re: Football Question Post by: Rich Pullen on Tuesday, January 6, 2009, 12:13:01 West Ham in 3 finals only fielded one "foreign" player, a scottish full back in 1980. ...and his name was Ray Stewart. Do I get a bonus point for knowing that? Title: Re: Football Question Post by: janaage on Tuesday, January 6, 2009, 12:16:04 In QI fashion you get 13 points for that Richard! Top knowledge.

Title: Re: Football Question Post by: swindonbob on Tuesday, January 6, 2009, 16:36:45 By the way, I don't know the answer to the original question. We were just having a discussion about whether it was a requirement to have undersoil heating to play in the Premiership because of the costs of a game being called off.
Title: Re: Football Question Post by: Panda Paws on Tuesday, January 6, 2009, 16:42:53 Birmingham don't have it, they are installing it this summer, so I don't think it is a requirement.
Title: Re: Football Question Post by: Rich Pullen on Tuesday, January 6, 2009, 16:44:42 I can only recall that particular Birmingham match because I was in Plymouth Uni student union that evening and remember watching the presenters being somewhat bemused. Evening Rupert Murdoch can't prevent heavy fog... yet.
