The only team to play 'at the lane' ?

[SUFC Guy]

Now that Spurs have left White Hart Lane does that mean we are the only remaining professional team to play 'at the lane' ?

As is should be since 1889

 

[Dec]

No

Not according to my Notts County supporting colleague's description of his weekends.

And fair play. I like it when he says he has been to 'The Lane' - its a good nickname regardless of which 'lane'.

Plus Spurs will still be playing at their 'lane' when it is built.

Gigg Lane but I don't know any Bury fans or if they refer to their ground as 'The Lane'. Notts fans definitely do though.

St Georges Lane was our home for 108 years until the thieving twats sold it for a pittance.

But we always called it 'The Lane' as well.

plough lane , wimledons on about returning there

my biggest embarrassment as a blade was losing 3-0 to Altrincham in the fa cup at Moss Lane

Sheffield Wednesday at Pig Lane.

Also Arnold Lane - Pink Floyd

Any other team using 'the lane' is fine by me. I also can just about forgive people who put a small 'h' in Bramall Lane.

The two that make my skin crawl are the classics; non Man U supporters who refer to them as 'United' and anybody calling us 'Sheffield'.

Bramhall.

I can't.

Bastards the lot of 'em.

 

[Alfreton14Blade]

There's Sutton United's fantastically named Gander Green Lane.

Other than that, best I can offer is The Eagles. Life in the Fast Lane.

You called?

Spuds are only moving 100 metres down the road, the new stadium will probably be called the Femfresh Arena or summat but it'll still be on WHL

 

[I should coco]

but it'll still be on WHL

Obviously not been paying attention since 1889, see my ealrlier post.

They DON'T play on WHL, their ground is on the Tottenham High Road and WHL is a few hundred metres away.

 

[I should coco]

Oh and while we are at it, the Sheffield Massive played at the Lane before we were even formed.

Crap thread this one.

Fanny Hands Lane, Ludford, Lincolnshire, always makes me chuckle when I drive past it.

Makes my blood boil. "Sheffield" reminds me of the Wolves play off final, which was up on the scoreboard. I saw that and had a sinking feeling.

Other than that, best I can offer is The Eagles. Life in the Fast Lane.

Nah, they currently playing in Wakefield since the council bulldozed their ground at Don Valley.

We are the only team to play at "the lane". The rest simply play at "a lane".

"Gropecunt, the earliest known use of which is in about 1230, appears to have been derived as a compound of the words grope and cunt."
