Quiz Guess the club ?

[Colemans Left Hook]

In ww1 the ground was bombed by a German ****, destroying the main stand ,

After the war, ******  they tried to claim compensation  from the German government in order to fund the new stand. However these attempts failed.

ok what is the club and judging by the team they put out today their new sponsors should be "Special K " and why ?

Hartlepool's ground was bombed in WW1, but I've no idea about 'Special K'

Birmingham City. Just as guess. Special K

One of the first towns in Britain to be targeted by German destroyers, 130 people killed and many more wounded, this postcard shows a later attack when the stand was hit by a Zeppelin raid.

It was three sided for years and always freezing.

i am playing obviously on the fact that they also call th ground Super 6 stadium

[Colemans Left Hook]

but the cheek of trying to get compensation from the Germans !!!

Glad the German war intelligence was spot on. Why Hartlepool?I might be wrong but I am not convinced it was a main shipbuilding centre, not a vital manufacturing base in terms of munitions production or steel production as opposed to Teeside, for example, again why Hartlepool? You can't even get it mixed up with any SE town/city, or, the Germans heard of the monkey issue and were animal rights  activists wreaking revenge?

Maybe they just enjoyed bombing civilians? They have plenty of form for it.

If you’re talking WW2, so did we..

That was their big mistake, they took the focus away from attacking the airfields in the Battle of Britain.
