The only team to play 'at the lane' ?

Great name for an Allo Allo character tho!

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

Crap thread this one.

Ah but, I think one or more of the clubs which came together to form United played at the Lane before the unmentionables.

Make that "teams" rather than "clubs".

If it was over here theyd be out of business nowadays

In fact there was a shoe shop on London road about 30 years ago called " Fanny Farts Feet Emporium" I kid you not, at least I think it was a shoe shop

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

Just up from there is "Playing Field Lane". At the end of Playing Field Lane is a Playing Field.


I was hugely disappointed when I drove down Fanny Hands 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."

Is now called Magpie Lane which is derived from a compound of the words mag and pie.
Mag meaning Grope
and Pie meaning Cunt

So we've gone from, "which football clubs play at a Lane", to Beevis and Butthead style sniggering at rude place names.















Fantastic !!!!
