Home of the World Cup winners. Great stuff!
Thanks
Whatever happened to Upton Park. Thieves got into the trophy room last week and stole the carpet.
That must be why it wasn't on the tour...
That aside, I like the second shot with the out of focus logo in the background.
Cheers, Kris.

Knowing nothing about soccer I had to google "Boleyn" and why it is "farewell". My initial reaction on seeing the name of the thread was it was something to do with Anne of the same name.
That aside, I like the second shot with the out of focus logo in the background.
Cheers, Kris.
Thanks Kris.
They actually went over this on the tour, the stadium actually goes by 2 names, 'Upton Park' and 'The Boleyn Ground'. Upton Park because its based on the grounds of a park in Upton, and the Boleyn ground because the stadium is built within the grounds of what was once a Royal Palace, and in particular the one in which Henry the 8th courted Anne Boleyn.
Their actual street address is 'The Boleyn Ground'.

As a Man City fan.. Forgive me but in image 2 of the statue. I only remember Peters Hurst and Moore. Who's the fourth member ?
Ray Wilson.
Interesting. Thanks for the info. So my automatic thought of "Anne" wasn't that far off after all.

Since moving to Kent and starting a family I don't really get much of a chance to go any more, I am going in March which will likely be my last trip before we move stadium
