What's in a name?

[Mark (Flag) Braintree]

With all the talk this week about Ford becoming Redbridge, and last season Purfleet becoming Thurrock and joining in similar names to the ones already existing.

 

It got me thinking about clubs who play at a ground with the same name as someone else.

 

I will start with the most obvious.

**********************************************

Exeter City & Newcastle Utd. - St James Park

[Stu M]

Strling Albion & Liverpool - Annfield and Anfield respectively

[Mark (Flag) Braintree]

Dag & Red / Stokes (old Ground) - Victoria

[Martin]

Sporting Lisbon (I think definantly a portuguese team anyway) and Sunderland - The Stadium of Light

[Colin, Germany]

Almost right - it's Benfica (Estadio La Luz). Sporting play in the Estadio Jose de Alvalade.

Aldershot & Chesterfield - Recreation.

[Rob_the_Saint]

Boreham Wood & Chesham - Meadow Park

[Mark (Flag) Braintree]

Northampton Towns (Old ground before sixfields) and Swindon Town - The County Ground.

[Stu M]

At a push - Kent League Corinthian and Shrewsbury - Gay Dawn Farm and Gay Meadow.

[Big J R]

Does Enfield and Enfield Town count ???

 

 

Hmmmmm.

[Colin, Germany]

Hamburger SV (Volksparkstadion - before they moved to the new AOL Arena)

 

1. FC Bamberg (Hauptkampfbahn Volkspark)

[Colin, Germany]

Bayern Munich and Hertha BSC, Berlin (Olympiastadion)

Not as obvious as AC and Inter...!

That statement related more to clubs who do not ground share. Like Newcastle and Exeter opposite ends of the country.

 

If we are to extend to groundshares there are stacks.

 

 

Club Brugge and Cercle Bruges in Belgium.

[Colin, Germany]

Alemaniana Aachen, Germany - Tivoli

FC Tirol, Innsbruck, Austria - Tivoli.Neu (or New Tivoli)

and Rotherham United's Millmoor has a Tivoli End

[Colin, Germany]

TuS Dotzheim, Wiesbaden and ESV Lokomotive Potsdam both play in Stadion Berliner Straße in their respective cities.

[Dan Sampford]

lazio and jueventus

[Colin, Germany]

Lazio play in the Stadio Olimpico whereas Juventus play in the Stadio Delle Alpi. So what's the connection?

[Colin, Germany]

Espanyol of Barcelona play in the Lluis Companys Olympic Stadium.

 

Lazio and AS Roma of Rome play in the Stadio Olimpico (Olympic Stadium).

 

Galatasaray of Istanbul play in the Ataturk Olympic Stadium.

 

In addition to Hertha BSC of Berlin and Bayern Munich, which I mentioned earlier in this thread, 1860 Munich also play in the Olympiastadion (Olympic Stadium).

 

Ajax of Amsterdam played in the Olympic Stadium until 1996.

 

Spartak Moscow play at the Luzhniki Olympic Stadium.

 

I expect there are some more.

Rumour has it that Margate may be playing in the Athens Olympic stadium next season but it's not got two sides up yet <img src="/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
