Trivia question

[cymrococh]

An alien plummets to earth and lands inside a football stadium just before kick-off. He knows it is either Cardiff City Stadium or the Liberty but he does not know which one. He is football mad and is well versed in the history and traditions of British football but being an alien he has never seen a game or any pictures of stadiums. The stands are packed so he cannot see the colours of the seats or any signage – even if he could he is colour blind and he cannot read.

 

By looking around the pitch and the stadium there is still one way that he can determine whether he is in Swansea or Cardiff. How does he do it??

[Cobs]

the corner sections of the two grounds are completely different

he has never seen a game or any pictures of stadiums

he has never seen a game or any pictures of stadiums

 

 

so how does he know it's either cardiff or the liberty?

not to mention that if he is colour blind and cannot read he's a pretty sh*t alien so how did he manage to travel halfway across the known universe?

is it something to do with the corner flags?

yes

Have to say, this all sounds even more unlikely than one of Vic's philosophical maths conundrums.

fa cup winners (presumably cardiff) have different corner flags (triangular rather than square)?

YES!

Before last season you would be 100% correct. But there is now a second deck on the Ninian Stand on the Sloper Road side. He might not be able to see the seats, but he would see the extra block of fans sitting above.

 

Liberty doesn't have that.

perhaps he'd hear the packed stands of fans shouting/singing for Cardiff or Swansea before he noted the corner flags?

He doesn't speak/understand our earth languages.

[Cobs]

you're making this up as you go along!

How can he understand if he is in Cardiff or Swansea when he doesn't understand the words Cardiff or Swansea?

[D.Boon]

How is he so well versed in football if he cant read?

You said he is looking around the pitch and the stadium. Is he not allowed to process what he sees other than the flags? Why can't he see the second tier of fans?

[Gilps]

Nobody said he can't see them, you thick t***.

[Swan Red]

Sion, you're wasted on these fella
