    Trivia abour your club

    I bet that we all know a bit of interesting trivia about the club that they support,so lets hear it,I shall start it off

    Notts County are the only English club to be unbeaten by Barcelona which included a 3-10 (ten) scoreline
    Notts visited Spain way back in 1914 and beat Barcelona 0-2, 0-4 and 3-10,they then played them again in 1922 and beat them again 2-4 and got a 1-1 draw on the second fixture

    SWINDON

    The War Department took over the ground in 1940, where for a while POWs were housed in huts placed on the pitch. For this the club received compensation of £4,570 in 1945.

    The addition of floodlights in 1951 at a cost of £350, gave Swindon the honour of being the first League club to do so. These were first tried out v Bristol City on 2 April 1951 beating Arsenal by six months. These original set of lights were supplemented by lights on both side stand roofs, which were sufficient for the County Ground to stage its first floodlit league match on 29 February 1956 v Millwall.

    Barnsley won the FA Cup for the one and only time in 1912, the same year that the 'unsinkable' Titanic went down.
    (and when they re-made the Titanic film in 98ish, we got to the Qtrs again that season. The media would have had an absolute field day if those two occurences had happened again lol).

    Juventus black and white stripped shirts are direct result of Notts County,Juventus originally wore pink shirts but they faded in the wash so they asked an Englishman who came from Nottingham if he could get any shirts,his friend supported Notts and shipped them over for them to wear....Juventus eh,whatever happened to them?
