[edit] OCS Stand Photo's
Three photo's of the OCS stand? Can someone pick out the best one, and remove the others. --Commander Keane 14:01, 15 July 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Grand Old Lady
I've been following Surrey cricket for the best part of 50 years, and I don't ever recall The Oval being called that. JH 09:03, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
Just did a Google search on 'Oval "Grand Old Lady"'. It revealed that ovals all over the world have been referred to as a "Grand Old Lady" at one time or another. So it doesn't seem to be an appellation specific to "our" Oval. JH 17:58, 1 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Undress
Is it true that the Kennington Oval holds the record for the most people running onto the grass in a stae of undress?
- I hadn't heard of this. It sounds rather unlikely to me. JH 09:01, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Oval cat???
Didn't the Oval have a cat once upon a time called Lulu (I think that was her name)? I saw her once during the 1999 Cricket World Cup in England (she was black and white in colour). I searched for her on the web but couldn't find any info. If it wasn't her, then which was the ground that housed a cat as well once upon a time?
