I used to love going to Eastville Stadium every week.............to watch the speedway! :laugh:

I wonder if the dump becoming a dog track has anything to do with their obsession with assaulting canines..?

Not Daryl Clarke’s type of assault, obviously. That probably just came from his private porn collection.

It wasn’t his debut, that came in 1934 - but what a superb feat that mauling of the sags was! Didn’t realise either that his record at Luton was so amazing - 83 goals in 72 games - even without the ‘never to be forgotten’ 10 goal haul against the sags, he was still averaging more than a goal a game! A legend!

An average of a goal a game against every other team he played..!

on this date in 1936 a player called joe payne scored 10 goals on his debut for luton town against bristol rovers a record which still stands , what a lovely man !

Joe wasn't supposed to have played that day either IIRC.

He travelled with the players but one of them became Ill so Joe had to play.

How big are the horses up the Mem these days????

Or maybe the fans that bother to go are just angry dwarfs?

It must be true, I mean when I was a child (not an extremely tall one either), I swear I have fed horses the odd sugar cube and polo on school trips etc, and I cannot remember needing a step ladder or chair to stand on. 

The reply is just as bizarre, couldn't he/she realise it was just utter nonsense.

Re Joe Payne.

This extract has been taken from Wikipedia. If we have any City fans in the Birmingham area, could photos of the plaque be taken and posted on this site (when Boris lifts the lockdown)?

 

Payne died in Luton on 22 April 1975, aged 61.[10] On 13 April 2006, to mark the 70th anniversary of his 10-goal record, a plaque was unveiled by Geoff Thompson, then chairman of the Football Association, on the wall of the Miner's Arms public house in Manor Road, Brimington Common. The site is adjacent to the now-demolished house where he used to live, and overlooks a park where he played football. The unveiling was attended by two of Payne's nephews.[3][8] A lounge at Kenilworth Road stadium was named in honour of Payne
