Being an Everton fan,my prediction for the new season is.
By Jan/Feb Moyles will be sacked,his replacement will be Martin O'Neal
We will triumph in Europe
Its our season.
Also i bet you all know the answer but which ground did Everton first play football when they joined the league?.
It was BBC2 and in the south east only. Match of the Day was just a footie programme. Nothing history making was made when they broadcast the first game.Quote:

Before it was knocked down in the 1980's, it hosted many events mostly sport like Boxing.
On Old Hall Street.

See also LIVERPOOL STADIUM... THE ROCK YEARS.
There was a tragic murder outside there in August 1961 when local man, John McMenemy, stabbed his girlfriend Valerie Sellers to death after a quarrel over some money. McMenemy was sentenced to death but it was commuted to life imprisonment on appeal.
The stadium was a dump and neglected from it being built. In the 1970s John Conte was fighting a world title fight and as the stadium was so bad, the fight was to be staged elsewhere. To fury from the Liverpool public the stadium was refurbished. John Moores paid - they did it within a week working 24/7. As the carpets were being laid plasterers would walk all over it ruining the carpet. New seats were installed as well.
There was a rape there too :shock:Quote:

I boxed at the stadium as an amateur in the late 70`s and early eighties. Yes, there was a rape case, and according to some people, Phil Lynott, the lead singer with Thin Lizzy, dedicated their song "The Boys Are Back In Town" to the lads who were jailed for 5 years each when they were being released. Can anyone confirm this??
February 1987.
The Stadium was Britain's only purpose-built boxing arena.
Built on the site of St Paul's Church, it was designed by Kenmure Kinna, and was opened in 1932.
The last professional bout was in 1985, and it was demolished in 1987.
Apart from boxing it was used for pop concerts, mass meetings, circuses, and bingo.
The Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra also played there.

Thanks, folks.
Hi,
Does anyone know where Stanley Stadium used to be? I understand it was off Prescot road somewhere, and used to run greyhound and speedway meetings. I can't really find any substantial infomation on the internet, but I assume it is long gone.
I'm quite curious about the Liverpool speedway team (the Chads), which ran in the early 50's (?), but information seems a little thin on the ground. I don't know how well supported they were, but I gather they may not of been too successful, despite Peter Craven's prescence.
I like this site by the way - there is some great photos and information here.
Hi Steer,
The speedway was next to where the Police sports ground is( If it's still there).
It was not really well supported but had some regular fans. :037:
Oh yes - I know it. I went to a function there once.
I guess the speedway team folded due to lack of support then?
I only ever went there once, but later I was a regular at Belle Vue, I saw Peter Craven win the world championship at Wembley in 1962. After his death I lost interest and didn't watch much speedway after that.:037:
Yes it was across from the Ab. Used to go a lot at one time with me dad. Shame it folded.
The stadium was situated on the present fruit market site. It was a greyhound track, speedway, athletics and rugby stadium. The Piano Bar on Derby Lane in Old Swan used to be called The Rugby Club and was the social for the Liverpool City rugby league side.
Hello people!!
I am trying to find info/pictures on my Dad's old betting shop in London Road. It was called Top Racing, it was painted black & Green and it apparently stood on or near the site of where the LIDL is now. Can anyone help??? :PDT_Xtremez_28:
Will
This is the site of the Lidl, in 1982.

hmmmm... I'll have to quiz him again. I have pictures somewhere of me at about 3 years of age in London Road with a marching Band parading down the street behind me. I'll have to dig them out as is was right in front of his shop which might give me a better bearing on where it was exactly. Thanks for the pic Phil! :handclap:
Good pic of the old Tatler Philip, hadn't seen that one before. I remember going to that Sayers on the corner many a time and you could see the new cathedral just up the road.
It's on my flickr page, Ged, in the "Demolished Cinemas" set.Quote:

The Greyhound track was White City Stadium and was located on Lower Breck Road. The Ambulance Station is now on that site.
There was also an entrance to the Stadium at mthe bottom of Sunlight Street (my way in) off Belmont Road.
Its all gone to the dogs now:)
