Now There's Something I Didn't Know.

In this month's 442 there is a feature on the 'history of a football club', I had no idea we were the firsty PLC (Public limited Company) IN THE WORLD!! :o in 1888 (as Small Heath of course). I mean, I always knew we were the first British team in a European Final, and before Arsenal a few years back the last British team to win at the San Siro. But there's some history for you.

are we not also the first team to struggle, continually play unattractive football, play players out of position, use the same sorry excuses week in/out and season in/out and be relegated all without any consequence on the manager?

sorry, just had to....

I'm glad that we were the first PLC, that's cheered me up a bundle. Winning FA for a century and a quarter doesn't mean a thing now.

Did you also know that we are the only club to hit double figures in competitive matches on FIVE occasions ??

Any others people know ??

We were the first team (and I think the only one still) that failed to play in a seasons FA Cup competition - because we forgot to enter !!!! (1921 - I think!)

Man Utd didn't enter in 2000 I remember, because they opted for the World Club Championships instead, I remember them getting all sorts of stick for thinking they were better than the FA Cup.

I think im right in saying that we and Arsenal are the only British clubs to win at the San Ciro in European competition :)

PLCs didn't come in till the 1970s. When Public Liability became a legal requirement.
I think we became the first " Limited Company" in football, which all companies were till about the 1970s when PLCs became the incorporated title.
i.e.
"Small Heath Alliance Ltd"I'm only nitpicking

Can't we have a post about anything without at least one selfish idiot going on about the same old same old theme again and again and again!!

Why don't you go away and bother someone else or just grow up and learn to have a discussion with normal people.

And before your mates start bleating about your freedom of speech how about the freedom of those folks who want to come on here and don't want to be regiled with the same old regergitated rubbish over and over again.

For sake of all of our sanity. Change the bl##din. record!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We were the FIRST club to try and burn our own Main Stand ( a club employee threw a bucket of petrol he thought was water onto a fire during World War II)... :LMAO: true story

We were the FIRST club cursed by Gypsies

We were the FIRST club to allow fans to relieve themselves anywhere in the ground instead of going to the toilet (back of the Old Kop best example)

We were the FIRST club to sell Bovril to the fans at a temperature of 200 degrees C

We were the FIRST club to sell Meat Pies to the fans at a temperature of -200 C

We were the FIRST club to sell a player for one million pounds (TF)

I might be mistaken but I think we have the FIRST Female CEO in English football (KB)

We're likely to be the FIRST club that used the work permit excuse to pull out of a transfer (Ghaly)

We must be the FIRST club to give more votes of confidence to it's manager than the builders who assembled The Leaning Tower of Pisa :banghead:
