Alexandra Park Racecourse

noreply@blogger.com (Sporting Chronicle) — Thu, 08 May 2008 18:17:00 +0000

Alexandra Park Racecourse was located at Wood Green, North London in the grounds of Alexandra Palace.

It was one of the most peculiarly shaped courses in Britain and was affectionately known as "The Frying Pan".

The looped part of the course came off a single straight and all races (except those over five furlongs) were started near the winning post with horses running away from the stands (the opposite way to which they would be finishing).

To add to it′s character the start for five furlong races could not actually be seen from the stands.

After an initial left handed turn when running away from the stands races then proceeded in a clockwise (right-handed) direction around the loop.

The finishing straight was nearly four furlongs in length.

High numbers were best in sprints.

Race distances
5 furlongs
1 mile 160 yards
1 mile 5 furlongs and a few yards

The last meeting at Alexandra Park was on 8th September 1970

Fergie is the Best!

noreply@blogger.com (Sporting Chronicle) — Tue, 29 Apr 2008 20:42:00 +0000

Manchester United 1-0 Barcelona

This game was United′s big game of the week and not against Chelsea

Fergie gambled with Saturday′s game - even if the Blues won they were still not going to get their noses in front. That game was not a win at all costs game but tonight′s was!

Well known radio pundits going on about "Why wasnt Tevez playing" on Saturday. What a load of b*ll?cks.

I believe tonight Tevez showed you why he didn′t play on Saturday! He was a demon (a devil in fact - a red one).

Other big players tonight - Scholes (of course), Park, Ferdinand, Ronaldo - where do you want me to stop? They were all brilliant!

Well done United. It cheered me up no end!

First Player to Score for the Losing Side in a Wembley FA Cup Final

noreply@blogger.com (Sporting Chronicle) — Fri, 25 Apr 2008 10:18:00 +0000

The FA Cup Final was played at Wembley Stadium for the first time in 1923. Prior to this date a number of different venues had been used.

The first five FA Cup Finals played at Wembley saw the losing sides score no goals.

It was not until 1928 when Blackburn Rovers beat Huddersfield Town 3-1 that a losing team got on the score sheet in a Wembley Stadium FA Cup Final.

Alex Jackson, who scored for Huddersfield that day, became the first player to score for the losing side in a Wembley FA Cup Final.
