Phoenix 66 and all that

[dmac]

not a WC66 question but here's a question I like just to get things moving again:


What happened in English football for the first and only time in 1992/93?


In a strange coincidence exactly the same thing happened in Scottish football for the first and only time in the same season.

Pretty certain it's not what you are looking for but the inaugural Premiership season occurred then. (Scottish prem didn't start till late 90's, 98 I think).

[Istenem]

the three teams promoted to the top flight stayed up?

[dmac]

Neither of those

It's to do with cups

[Istenem]

my quizzing abilities fall down when it is who did what in which year.

was that the year wimbledon won it?

something to do with rank outsiders winning?

[grecian]

Is it that the two competing teams were the same in the finals of the FA and League Cup? Pretty sure that in England at least both finals were between Arsenal and Sheffield Wednesday. That said, I'm surprised this hasn't happened more frequently in Scotland.

The winners and runners up in both cups in both countries were the same- Arsenal beat Sheff Wed and Rangers beat Aberdeen.

Only happened once in Scotland too, even though the LC has been going for 20 more years.

The deciding game in each final ended 2-1 as well

Which is the only city in the UK with all of its letters in the first half of the alphabet?

[Flying Spaghetti Monster]

[harry 3]

If I may interject with a new q. Apparantly which is the largest town in England ?

[YoungKai]

[Istenem]

i'll guess at slough, it is certainly the most joyless if not the largest

[Northern Monkey]

How about Stevenage the first new town. A true shit hole of a place. I lived/ worked there for 6 months and was lucky to survive.
