Up the 0wl5 Posted September 10, 2012 Author Share Posted September 10, 2012 (edited) 1986 I think, the magazine (the monthly Owl) doesn't have a date anywhere in it. Edited September 10, 2012 by Up the 0wl5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You sure, i thought the queen opened it one sunny midweek afternoon, and not at a game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owl999 Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 You sure, i thought the queen opened it one sunny midweek afternoon, and not at a game. I thought she opened it on a mid week afternoon in December if I remember rightly, could be mistaken though . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What made me think it was an afternoon she opened it is i seem to remeber some schools having the afternoon off so the kids could attend, might be totally wrong again tho.

You may be correct. All I know is that she did attend the Southampton game and it could have been the same week whether it was officially opened during the week or at the game needs clarification.

All I know is that she did attend the Southampton game and it could have been the same week whether it was officially opened during the week or at the game needs clarification. She opened it on the Friday the 12th of December, in front of mainly school children and educational authorities (55,000). Their was no game apart from the young owls playing on the pitch. The game on the 13th was Wimbledon away. The Southampton game was on the 8th of nov, doesnt mention owt about the queen tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
