delboy Posted April 3, 2007 Report Share Posted April 3, 2007 Here's a belter for you: which team has a league ground in two different countries?chester city - the diva stadium now called saunders honda stadium, i went there in 1995 and watched cambridge handsomely beat them 3-0! from wikipedia...In 1983, they changed their name to Chester City FC and proceeded to return to the Third Division in 1986. In 1990, they moved out of their The Stadium and temporarily shared Macclesfield's Moss Rose ground before moving to the brand new Deva Stadium (now the Saunders Honda Stadium) in 1992 (the stadium is notable for crossing the England-Wales border: while the pitch is in Wales, the main stand and offices are in England). The creation of the FA Premier League that same year meant that The Football League's three remaining divisions were renamed and the Third Division became known as the Second Division. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
