The Majestic Channon Posted 20 April, 2010 Posted 20 April, 2010 Sorry Majestic, can you check that one cos the way the junctions are set up, it must be a UK ground. It certainly isn't Lille's current ground (which has a running track), haven't checked out their old ground. Here it says lille,strange if it's wrong :confused: http://stadiums.football.co.uk/France/Lille.htm
Gorgiesaint Posted 20 April, 2010 Posted 20 April, 2010 (edited) Okay, here's some famous stadia for you (some easy, some a bit harder) but they are 5 out of 6 stadia which have a common connection - bonus point if you can get the link as well (and the missing stadium)!! 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Edited 20 April, 2010 by Gorgiesaint Change photo 2 as didn't work
Gorgiesaint Posted 20 April, 2010 Posted 20 April, 2010 Here it says lille,strange if it's wrong :confused: http://stadiums.football.co.uk/France/Lille.htm Hmmm interesting.... I'll get my pigeon french out & try the club website! Its not very clear but the junctions appear to be set up for driving on the left which is why I thought it was a UK ground. The website I use shows their old ground (and it's not the same ground).

Townhillsaintsfan Posted 20 April, 2010 Posted 20 April, 2010 is the 5th the olympic stadium in berlin?
mattbrennan Posted 20 April, 2010 Posted 20 April, 2010 (edited) Macclesfield Town? Certainly not Lille. In fact there is no question about it. That is Moss Rose. Edited 20 April, 2010 by mattbrennan
Gorgiesaint Posted 20 April, 2010 Posted 20 April, 2010 is the 5th the olympic stadium in berlin? Correct
oxfordshire_saint Posted 20 April, 2010 Posted 20 April, 2010 3. is the Munich Olympiastadion. I'm guessing the link is Olympics?
Gorgiesaint Posted 20 April, 2010 Posted 20 April, 2010 Yes 3 is the Munich Olympiastadion & 4 is the Stadio Olympico. The Olympics is part of the answer - they've held the Olympics & which other major event?
oxfordshire_saint Posted 20 April, 2010 Posted 20 April, 2010 Yes 3 is the Munich Olympiastadion & 4 is the Stadio Olympico. The Olympics is part of the answer - they've held the Olympics & which other major event? World Cup, I'm guessing!
Gorgiesaint Posted 20 April, 2010 Posted 20 April, 2010 World Cup, I'm guessing! Very good - there are only 6 grounds that have hosted both a World Cup Final and Olympic events. The first one should be fairly easy as its still in use today (although is better known now for another sport), the second one is really hard so I'll take the city. (No prizes now for the 6th venue!!)

(No prizes now for the 6th venue!!) Even though they aren't either of the stadiums yet to be named correctly, haven't both Seoul's Olympic Stadium and the Old Wembley both held the World Cup and Olympics?
oxfordshire_saint Posted 20 April, 2010 Posted 20 April, 2010 Scrub my last post, Seoul didn't host the final!
oxfordshire_saint Posted 20 April, 2010 Posted 20 April, 2010 I'll have a guess, is one of them Stockholm?
Gorgiesaint Posted 20 April, 2010 Posted 20 April, 2010 I'll have a guess, is one of them Stockholm? No - Stockholm only held the equestrian part of the 56 Olympics (Melbourne was the main host) which was held in the Olympic Stadium in Stockholm, the Rasunda Stadium held the 58 World Cup Final. and you're right about Seoul. If it helps the first one didn't host the athletics - but did host the Olympic football final. Edit: and yes Wembley is the missing stadium (but that would have been too easy)
Townhillsaintsfan Posted 20 April, 2010 Posted 20 April, 2010 The first might be a now very small stadium in paris?
oxfordshire_saint Posted 20 April, 2010 Posted 20 April, 2010 No - Stockholm only held the equestrian part of the 56 Olympics (Melbourne was the main host) which was held in the Olympic Stadium in Stockholm, the Rasunda Stadium held the 58 World Cup Final. and you're right about Seoul. If it helps the first one didn't host the athletics - but did host the Olympic football final. Edit: and yes Wembley is the missing stadium (but that would have been too easy) I've gotta say, I'm stumped. I'd have thought the Azteca in Mexico City would've been one, but it's neither of the two pictured. Did the Azteca never hold an Olympic final?
Lets B Avenue Posted 21 April, 2010 Posted 21 April, 2010 Very good - there are only 6 grounds that have hosted both a World Cup Final and Olympic events. The first one should be fairly easy as its still in use today (although is better known now for another sport), the second one is really hard so I'll take the city. (No prizes now for the 6th venue!!) Is the first one Rose Bowl, Pasadena?
Gorgiesaint Posted 21 April, 2010 Posted 21 April, 2010 or even the 2nd! Very good Townhill - its the Stade Olympic Yves du Manoir in Colombes, Paris - now used for a fourth division team in the French League & a local rugby team but home to the 1924 Olympics in Paris & the 1938 World Cup Final.
Gorgiesaint Posted 21 April, 2010 Posted 21 April, 2010 I've gotta say, I'm stumped. I'd have thought the Azteca in Mexico City would've been one, but it's neither of the two pictured. Did the Azteca never hold an Olympic final? Sorry Oxfordshire, the original info I had was that the Azteca didn't hold the final - but actually it did host the 1968 Olympic Final so should have been on the list - nice one!!
Gorgiesaint Posted 21 April, 2010 Posted 21 April, 2010 Is the first one Rose Bowl, Pasadena? No its not the Rose Bowl
Lets B Avenue Posted 21 April, 2010 Posted 21 April, 2010 No its not the Rose Bowl Ok. But shouldn't it have been in the list as well?
Gorgiesaint Posted 21 April, 2010 Posted 21 April, 2010 Ok. But shouldn't it have been in the list as well? Yes you're right - it was used in 1984 for the football. Okay - closing this one down, the first stadium is the Stadio Flaminio in Rome.
mattbrennan Posted 21 April, 2010 Posted 21 April, 2010 New one for you... The Vetch Field. Swansea's old ground.
Gorgiesaint Posted 21 April, 2010 Posted 21 April, 2010 The Vetch Field. Swansea's old ground. Spot on
oxfordshire_saint Posted 21 April, 2010 Posted 21 April, 2010 I'm liking the format of linked grounds, only two here but have a bash at getting them and the connection:
Gorgiesaint Posted 22 April, 2010 Posted 22 April, 2010 (edited) Hmm - no idea on the first one. I'll take a guess at TSG Hoffenheim's new stadium. The second one is (I think) Stuttgart's Gottlieb-Daimler Stadion. Edited 22 April, 2010 by Gorgiesaint Guessing
Townhillsaintsfan Posted 22 April, 2010 Posted 22 April, 2010 I dont think the first is Hoffenheim but I'd agree with Stuttgart as the second.
oxfordshire_saint Posted 22 April, 2010 Posted 22 April, 2010 Hmm - no idea on the first one. I'll take a guess at TSG Hoffenheim's new stadium. The second one is (I think) Stuttgart's Gottlieb-Daimler Stadion. Correct on Stuttgart. Clue for the other one, it isn't German.
oxfordshire_saint Posted 22 April, 2010 Posted 22 April, 2010 Ah, just realised, the link between the two is wrong, the top stadium should be this one instead!............. Bonus point if you can still get the top one on the original post too!
Gorgiesaint Posted 22 April, 2010 Posted 22 April, 2010 (edited) Ah, just realised, the link between the two is wrong, the top stadium should be this one instead!............. Bonus point if you can still get the top one on the original post too! Ahhh, I believe that one is St Etienne's ground where England lost to Argentina in France 98 - the link is England have played at both grounds in the WC 2nd round. (Beat Ecuador at Stuttgart in 2006) Assume the other pic is one of the France 98 grounds but still don't know which one it is. Edited 22 April, 2010 by Gorgiesaint Devil is in the detail
mattbrennan Posted 22 April, 2010 Posted 22 April, 2010 Ah, just realised, the link between the two is wrong, the top stadium should be this one instead!............. Bonus point if you can still get the top one on the original post too! Stade Felix-Bollaert and the link is England have played World Cup matches at them both.
oxfordshire_saint Posted 22 April, 2010 Posted 22 April, 2010 Tis indeed the Felix-Bollaert, not St Etienne's Stade Geoffroy Guichard (although they do look bloody similar!!!) The England connection is partly right, but there's something more to do with that!
Gorgiesaint Posted 22 April, 2010 Posted 22 April, 2010 Tis indeed the Felix-Bollaert, not St Etienne's Stade Geoffroy Guichard (although they do look bloody similar!!!) The England connection is partly right, but there's something more to do with that! Beckham free kick goals?
oxfordshire_saint Posted 22 April, 2010 Posted 22 April, 2010 Beckham free kick goals? Spot on! If you're being really particular you could point out that they were both against South American teams who play in yellow ;-) The wrongly linked stadium was Tolouse, we played Romania there in 98, not Colombia, got mixed up!
Townhillsaintsfan Posted 22 April, 2010 Posted 22 April, 2010 Sundsvall in Sweden? Idrotspark or something?
The Majestic Channon Posted 23 April, 2010 Posted 23 April, 2010 Sundsvall in Sweden? Idrotspark or something? yes
Gorgiesaint Posted 24 April, 2010 Posted 24 April, 2010 Not san marino Not one I know - take a stab at Malta's national stadium.
The Majestic Channon Posted 24 April, 2010 Posted 24 April, 2010 Not one I know - take a stab at Malta's national stadium. Not malta.
Gorgiesaint Posted 24 April, 2010 Posted 24 April, 2010 Not malta. Hmmm does that indicate that I'm not far away?? The geography in the background looks like SE Europe & if its a national stadium for a small nation playing in red then - (its not Macedonia - that I do know) Albania??
The Majestic Channon Posted 24 April, 2010 Posted 24 April, 2010 No and no G and crab. It is on an island though.
