IAmNick Posted April 8 Report Share Posted April 8 Why's the centre circle / middle strip of the box a different colour? Just as it gets more wear so has newer/harder wearing grass there or something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they were the parts of the pitch that would be re-turfed at various times due to wear, as you suggest. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The game was shown on MoTD. I can remember that match. I couldn’t go and, in those days, Match of the Day was shown on BBC2. We didn’t have BBC2 as it required a more modern aerial than the traditional H shaped ones. I kept pestering my parents to get with it and get BBC2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never to the dark side Posted April 8 Report Share Posted April 8 Those floodlights always remind of when the Apollo mission rockets started to lift off the ground,the lights looked like the Bristol City floodlights.

Unsure who we played or the actual score .
