We are all former students at Lakenheath High School and other public schools in East Anglia. We were in school in the 70s and 80s and drank deeply from the well of British culture of those decades - the pints, the telly, and of course the footie!
I'm back from Cleveland after speaking at the History of Education Society meeting and checking out the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum this weekend and it's time to crank up the LOB again.

That's us. The Emirates has the biggest pitch. I think it's true that we went from the smallest to the biggest when we moved from Highbury.
Don't know about the smallest.
Not quite, but you're close in that you guessed a side that's recently moved to a new stadium. It was explained to me that a lot of new stadia are built with as large pitches as possible so that the stands can be larger and hold more people while still retaining that intimacy with the pitch that English fans love. Keep guessing mate.
The Biggest
City of Manchester Stadium?
Indeed, Davey. Eastlands has the biggest. What about the smallest pitch?
Upton Park also felt tiny to me . . ..
I was waiting for that, Trev. You're right on the money. Upton Park is indeed the smallest pitch.
Thanks to all who played along this week.
