Premier League Quiz Question

Post by Better Call Saul » Sun Apr 07, 2019 2:38 pm

Of the 20 teams in the Premier League, 10 of them have one thing in common.
The question is, what do Burnley, Everton, Liverpool, Chelsea, Crystal Palace, Fulham, Man Utd, Newcastle, Watford & Wolves have in common that sets them apart from Bournemouth, Brighton, Cardiff, Huddesfield, Leicester, Arsenal, Tottenham, Man City, West Ham, & Southampton.

Not the answer I was looking for because Tottenham have technically not moved to a new stadium, they have just extended the old one.

Bournemouth haven’t moved grounds, but they have changed the orientation of the pitch by 90 degrees. Spurs have slightly moved their ground a pitch length or so up the road. Huddersfield and Arsenal have moved essentially across the road from their old ground to their new.

You got it Factual Frank.
The group with Burnley in it have all retained they original or long standing ground names and never sold out to big market sponsors. Long may it continue and Turf Moor for ever.

Interestingly, Re. the reorientation of Dean Court;
Portsmouth intended to do something similar back in the Noughties. They even built the new Fratton End with a design that could be disassembled and rebuilt facing another way.
As it happens, circumstances overtook their plans.

Unfortunately, they ended up with seats facing the pitch.

Haven’t Newcastle renamed St James Park after one of Mike Ashley’s companies? At least for a short while!

Didn't Wolves move their pitch to one side as they redeveloped their ground?

Yes, From Wiki

Renaming of the stadium[edit]
On 10 November 2011, Newcastle United announced that the stadium would officially be renamed Sports Direct Arena, as a temporary measure to "showcase the sponsorship opportunity to interested parties", whilst looking for a sponsor for possible future stadium re-branding. According to the club, the St James' Park title was dropped as not being "commercially attractive".[36]
Previously, in 2009, the club had announced plans to sell the naming rights for the stadium. After protests about the possible loss of the name of the stadium, which included the tabling of an early day motion in Parliament, the club clarified the following week that the move would not involve the loss of the name St James' Park altogether, citing the example of 'SportsDirect.com@StJamesPark' as a potential stadium rights package.[37][38] The following day, the club announced that the stadium would be known as sportsdirect.com @ St James' Park Stadium temporarily until the end of the season, to showcase the idea behind the package, until the new sponsor was announced.[39] The stadium's official renaming as the Sports Direct Arena, or SDA, caused considerable perturbation amongst Magpie supporters.
On 9 October 2012, payday loan company Wonga.com became Newcastle United's main commercial sponsor and purchased the stadium naming rights. They subsequently announced that the St James' Park name would be restored as part of the deal

Fact (that the majority of you probably know): Everton haven't always played at Goodison. This was their "new" stadium when they moved out of Anfield.

They have built a brand new stadium that is not on the same footprint, it's certainly not an extension of the old one.

Bournemouth themselves consider the current ground a new one because it has actually moved slightly and they even played home games elsewhere while it was being built.

They did for a while but it was finally dropped and returned to just being St. James' Park.
