Another Latics 1st, thank you Diego.

 

Latics and Kettering,, known as ‘The Poppies’ because their ground was built on a poppy field, were the first to do that on 11th November 2006. It was appropriate that year because the match was played on the day that commemorated the 88th anniversary of the guns falling silent on Armistice Day.The profits from the auctioned shirts went to the Royal British Legion's Poppy Appeal.

 

Since then they haven’t played on the 11th of the 11th month, so to do it on the nearest match day would not have the same special significance, although other clubs have done it to be seen to be doing it.

 

Gregan has only scored for us when wearing a poppy on his shirt. Perhaps he could pin one to his captain's armband.

3 posts in and this threads already getting silly!

 

 

 

 

 

by the way, latics were the first team to play at boundary park.

 

I thought the first team to play at boundary park would have been Pine villa (although it might have been called the athletic ground back then)

[RoytonLatics]

probably the first and only team to replace a perfectly fine undersoil heating system and replace it with a plastic pitch which lasted around 2-4yrs?

 

David Ashworth the first manager to watch the game while standing on the roof of the old broadway stand?

 

Former Latics player Sam Wynne was the first player to ever die during a match in 1927 i think he was playing for bury though.

 

Frankie Bunn the first player to score 6 goals in a League cup fixture.

Would it not have been Oldham County though?

[ghostofcecere]

The first game broadcast on the Internet with more away fans than home fans in the Stadium
