If we can we at least keep things factual whilst this thread slides further towards madness, that would be much appreciated. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While countries like Bulgaria, Poland etc. Were part of the Warsaw Pact, were communist and had large numbers of Soviet troops stationed on their land, they were never part of the Soviet Union. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll ignore you not including Estonia as a Baltic State as a simple error . Yugoslavia was never part of the Soviet Union and I don’t mean the USSR, it was part a of its sphere of influence through the Warsaw Pact but it was completely separate from Moscow as it was controlled by Tito. Yugoslavia was completely different from the USSR in terms of international relations and the “Iron Curtain” it was a regular holiday destination for westerners long before the collapse of the USSR.

The rest of them were not part of the Soviet Union. Indeed, two of those States were part of Yugoslavia, which was its own State and not part of the Soviet Union. These states may have been politically aligned with the Soviet Union, but they were not part of it. Similarly with Hungary, Bulgaria, Romania and Poland (Warsaw Pact).

Too late to move (agreed before we were out the cup) also only holds 1200 so possible issues if it was a Saturday? Shame a a Saturday game would be nice. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
