Talk:Hyde Road (stadium)

First non-London ground to be visited by a reigning Monarch?
The article claims Hyde Road has this honour, citing City's own website, but Football Grounds of Great Britain (ISBN: 0-00-218249-1) states that Goodison Park was visited by George V on July 13 1913. Decorativeedison (talk) 16:13, 31 December 2008 (UTC)
 * I have that book at home, along with others that repeat the Hyde Road claim. I'll check out the various claims in more detail. Oldelpaso (talk) 16:28, 31 December 2008 (UTC)
 * If it was July then the chances are that no match was taking place. My yet-to-be-confirmed-either-way suspicion is that Goodison was the first non-London ground to be visited by a reigning monarch, but that Hyde Road was the first at which a reigning monarch attended a match.
