Chapter 50: 14:30 a.m. Daylight Saving Time

The stadium used by the Niu Han United Club this season is still the 67-year-old Manor Stadium. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Manor Course was founded in 1926 by a local Huntington man named Robert Brownton. Wylie's people, he was the one who built the manor course. However, the Manor Stadium, which at the time, was used as a cricket venue for Huntington, not as a football team sports ground for sparring partners.

It wasn't until 1942 that the cricket club left the stadium for Barton Road Xintiandi.

At that time, the football team, which was a winter warm-up for cricketers, remained here.

The club, known as Huntington United Football Club, began to own the manor stadium on its own, ending the history of Huntington Football Wandering.

It was not until 1961 that the descendants of the owners who built the stadium were transferred to the then renamed Oxford United Football Club for a very low price, £8,800.

Since then, Oxford United Club has had its own football field.

Time went by, and in 1993, the historic manor stadium ushered in the first League One game of the first season of the year when it was renamed Niu Han United Football Club.

However, the Niu Han United Club football team will leave this old football stadium next year, and this is the first and last season of the Manor Stadium as the home of the Niu Han United League.

Next year, the Manor Stadium may complete its historical mission and tear down and rebuild, and then it will be a hospital or a playground, and the Manor Stadium will not be managed, nor will the Niu Han League, nor will the fans be managed.

Now the manor stadium is still shining with the magnificent glow of dusk.

……

The main grandstand of the Manor Stadium, which is also the West Stand, is called the Beech Road Station Stand, and the fans in this stand are watching the game.

The rest of the stands were standing to watch the game.

For example, the die-hard fan stand, that is the South Stand, also called the London Road Stand.

The East Stand, the Osler Road Station Stand, is the stand for the neutral fans of the Niuhan United's home.

There is also the West Stand where the away team fans stop, which is the Cuckoo Lane Fan Stand.

There are no seats in these stands, and fans must all stand in this concrete stand that looks like a terrace and a staircase.

……

Today, the stands at Manor Stadium were full of fans wearing yellow Niuhan United uniforms, and there were also many Niuhan United fans in the guest stands, the Dujuan Lane fan stand.

The group of Portsmouth fans wearing the blue Portsmouth home team uniforms were isolated between the fan tunnel and the iron fence, alone, like a blue broken ship in a yellow ocean, swallowed by the yellow wind and waves.

In the East Stand, which is opposite the stands of the guest fans and the fans of Cuckoo Lane, it is the West Stand Beech Road Station Stand, which is the main stand, and the fans of Niu Han United hung a big long banner.

The sturdy yellow Oxford cloth with the slogan "We're going to the Premier League this year" written on it was huge.

This deeply stimulated the fans of the away team Portsmouth, and the fans of the away team Portsmouth were not to be outdone, and their team song began to sound.

"PlayupPompey, Pompeyplayup", the loud fan chant came from the blue stand.

Pompey's bells?

At this time, the Oxford United fans were furious.

You blue wrecked ship still dare to fight our yellow waves, it's like a grasshopper shaking a tree—beyond your strength.

On the court of Niu Hanlian Manor, in the stands of the fans, in the mouths of the fans, a short, rapid and loud "Aye, aye, sir, aye, aye, Captain" began to sound.

The song was louder and louder, louder and louder, and finally it was in unison, beating the beat, "Aye, aye, sir, aye, aye, Captain......

At this time, the song of "PlayupPompey, Pompeyplayup" that had just sounded was gradually covered up after a while, and could only be faintly heard from the occasional interval between the ventilation of Niu Han United fans.

……

The players finally came out of the locker room and the pitch began to cheer.

The home fans in the yellow Niuhan United jersey were happy, and the fans' singing gradually dispersed, but the sound was still loud and carried through the stadium.

It's just that the "Captain" in "Aye, aye, sir, aye, aye, Captain" is replaced with the name of the player of Niu Han United.

Don't say it, these fans are really talented, and Qin Long's name is among them, just like last season, when he appeared on the court, "Aye, aye, Boss, aye, aye, qin, aye, aye, Boss".

……

Players begin to line up and enter the position!

The old captain of Niu Han United, midfielder No. 14 Leslie. Michael. Phillips with a pack of tiger wolves.

Forward No. 11 Stan. Collymore and No. 9 John. Paul. Dening.

Midfielder No. 20 Nick. Cusack, No. 28 Christopher. Anthony. Allen and No. 7 James. Maguilton.

Defender No. 6 Michael. Lewis, No. 5 Andy. Melville, No. 3 Stephen. Elliott and No. 12 Leslie. Robinson.

Goalkeeper No. 1 Paul. Corey.

Majestic and high-spirited on the court!

Subsequently, followed by head coach Harry. Redkner, assistant coach Steve. McLaren and George. Frank Lampard was followed by five substitutes, goalkeeper No.22 Paul. John. Reese, defender, No. 4 Michael. Paul. Ford, midfielders No. 13 Qin Long and No. 17 Joseph. Joey. Beauchamp, forward No. 19 Dave. Penny. David.

Head coach Harry. Red-faced, shy, and smiling as he walked to the away team's dugout, and met with Portsmouth's head coach Jim. Smith shook hands and hypocritically said welcome to Jim. Smith went home to take a look, and the two of them hugged at the end.

The second gave these two people goosebumps when they were hypocritical.

……

To know that Redkner analyzes Jim. Smith didn't give any good reviews, and sneered: "Jim. As soon as Smith left Niu Han United, Niu Han United won the League Cup. ”

Jim. Smith was at the Oxford United for three years and didn't give much credit to Oxford United at the time. Smith jumped ship to Queens Park Rangers and Newcastle United, which were better than Oxford United at the time.

And if there is no Jim. Smith laid the foundation for George Evans, now the head coach of the 21st team at the club, to win the League Cup the following season.

Didn't George Evans also leave Oxford United?

Of course, it's just that the second has nothing to do, sitting on the bench and complaining.

……

Harry now. Rednecker was ambitious and dismissive of Portsmouth. It is believed that if it is difficult for Portsmouth to play Portsmouth, where something has changed, then what hope is there to win the championship in League One?

As the second said, one blow and then three times and exhaustion, this truth is now Harry. Redkner also learned.

Winning the League One title is not only what the club players want, Harry. Redkner also wanted to get it.

You must know that Qin Long, the boss of Niu Hanlian, promised a huge bonus, and he has a share.

And Lao Lei likes money, otherwise he wouldn't have come to Niu Hanlian.

Although Redkner is now the head coach of the Niu Han United club, the nature of the head coach is different from that of ordinary English teams.

The head coach of the British Isles Football Club is the manager of the team, basically the same as the executive level of the club's executives, and now he is in the name of a manager, and he is the head coach.

Lao Lei has no gray income, relying on salary and bonuses.

Huge bonuses, can he not be greedy?

……

The prescribed procedures are being carried out on the ball court, and the captains of both sides shake hands, change flags, and pick sides.

In fact, this is the rhythm of the two teams preparing for the war, salute first and then soldier!

The old captain chose to pick a side and the away team kicked off.

The referee looked down at the time, then looked up, his eyes were determined, and a long whistle sounded.

The whistle sounded, the stadium was quiet for a while, and then, there was a "boom", which was the shout of the fans!

The game is just the beginning.
