Another Highbury, fleetwood town.

Post by Bangkokgooner »

I just found that Fleetwood town, the current top of the conference, has a ground named Highbury. More ironically, they wear red Nike shirt with white sleeves and even has a player named Vieira (first name: Magno).

Well, if we were drawn against them in League cup or FA cup next season, it should be interesting. :barscarf:

Quite a decent ground for a non-league team, I must say.

Mike I know the kit is nice and all that but are you seriously telling me that the first thing your eyes focused in on was what kind of shirt they were wearing ? :lol: :lol:

yep read on there official site its been known as the Highbury Stadium since the 30's, The area is called Highbury so i suppose they just went the whole hog with naming the stadium and wearing red and white etc.

Of course not, but after I'd made a note of Cowgill Accountants for future reference, and admired the Nike trainers, it was next... honest!

I always understood that our fabulous old ground was called "The Arsenal Stadium". It just happened to be in Highbury.

I am prepared to be proved wrong!

They are running away with the league this season too. Missed them when they came to my local club but another win for 'us' last weekend guarantees staying in the league this season :barscarf:
