Third instalment of my triple header of football today is.

KC Stadium, Hull.
Capacity 25,000
Attendance 15,621
Attachment 53021
Teams claims to fame are that Hull is the biggest city in England never to have had a team in the top division of English football.
Derby County are one of the great names of English football would love to see them in the top division again, anyways their old stadium used to be called the Baseball Ground simply because they used to play baseball there after Francis Ley cameback from a trip to the US in 1889 and introduced Britain to baseball.
