Used to love visiting the baseball ground Steve . I expect you know this strange fact but for everybody else’s benefit does anyone know what they , Derby that is , have in common with West Ham ?

Spill the beans. I have no clue

Frank Lampard has had a shit in both...

The club was formed by an Iron works company , the name of which escapes me , initially for Baseball and then in 1895 for footy .

Great stuff mate. Shame to see the old grounds go, but we have to move with the times I suppose.

Lovely thread.

That new St James's Park looks like it's going to fall over.
