Description:
Linfield Football club was founded in March 1886 by workers of the Linfield Spinning Mill and was originally known as the Linfield Athletic Club. The club was given permission to play on ground at the back of the mill known as 'The Meadow'. Success and the need to accommodate more spectators brought about a move to Ulsterville Avenue in 1889. They were to remain for only four years as this ground was taken over for housing development. For a time, Linfield played all their home games at opponents' grounds. Now based in south Belfast, Linfield are the most popular and successful club in Northern Ireland. Their fan base is strongly Protestant. Reached the European Cup quarterfinal in 1967.
Windsor Park:
Previous stadiums: The Meadow (1886-89), Ulsterville Avenue (1889-93), Myrtlefield (-1905).

Catch yourselves on boys. Take the time to reflect on your own history (as I did) and you might well take a different view.
Football is a game to enjoy not an excuse to rant at each other about increasingly irrelevant dogma which our ruling class have filled our heads with when we were even simpler than we are today.
RIP Gusty Spence. Soldier. 28th June 1933 - 24th September 2011.

Dear Staar (17 July poster) have you never heard of Google?
my search showed an Andrew Hall playing for the Glens AGAINST the Blues in Nov 2010:
"The closest Linfield came to a first-half goal was when sub Andrew Hall had to clear off the line from Philip Lowry's glancing header." http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/irish/9238225.stm
