Someone no the answer to this...

once you have done it you can't do it again.
aston villa did it at their first attempt. man utd did it in 1992.
spurs, wolves, man city, leeds, west ham and newcastle have all done it.

no one did it last season and no one can do it this season.
what is it ??????????????????????????

robski

win the european cup winners cup?

robski

(non football fan, but one of my staff is footy mad!)

SeanT

Good try but the first line of the riddle rules out that answer.

'ONCE YOU HAVE DONE IT YOU CANT DO IT AGAIN'

Jerome

Gone Public/floated etc. ie Stitched up some new muggins shareholders blah blah blah...

Jerome.

SeanT

YEah but theres a few teams that havent gone public..ie - West Ham and Wolves

Sean MY93 WRX

David Lock

Spend the night with Posh Spice??

Geezer

Is it win your first League Cup at Wembley stadium????

Geezer

Jerome

It can't be that or QPR would be in the list. In fact while I'm here, they were the first team ever to win the League cup at Wembley in 1969(ish).

Jerome.

PS: This is still driving me mad...

Dave Thornton

Something to do with being unbeaten away from home all season? (hard to believe with West Ham in the list!)

Or ... lose 2 consecutive Wembley matches??

While I'm on, how about a supplementary question: Which player has played at Wembley more times than any other?

Paul P

Someone in my office has come up with the following:

"Surely the question is incorrect because West Ham and Newcastle have not done it and also someone could still do it this season (Newcastle at least are still in the Worthington(League)Cup)

The answer to the question is to get their name on all three domestic trophies League, FA Cup and League cup"

SeanT, what is the answer?

AWD

Is it something to do with playing at Wembley?

SeanT

Guys,

The answer hasnt been released yet, someone thought they had it but it turns out it was wrong, I will post it as soon as Im told.

One more go:

All the teams have won an FA Cup replay at the first time of asking.

Last year the FAC Cup was to be decided by extra time and pens, the same this year.

Is it along those lines......?

Sounds as if it is along those lines, except Man U won a replay at Wembly in 1990. I was there supporting Palace. sob!
