The number crunchers are warming up..

Ooh.

I'm interested to see whether I'll get anything for one of my answers!

I wouldn't want to rival Kevo though, so there'll be no whinging if it goes against me.

If it's the one I'm thinking of then no points.

It's an odd one really. Stoke City is in a southerly direction to the main railway station. Longport is to the north. Hence folk don't get out at Longport for the Bet365.

Strangely, some did answer Stoke. I'm not sure why excepting that perhaps they miss-read the question. It seems strange knowing that an urban branch railway station is in a certain city without being aware of the club that is connected to it.

That isn't the one I was thinking of, I was thinking Q11.

I did guess Stoke for Q1 purely on the basis that I couldn't think of any other league teams in Staffordshire! The existence of Port Vale passed me by entirely.

I gave you the point for that one. If I think folk know what they mean then I always award it.

 

[jessiejames]

**** forgot about Port vale.

Oi! I'm intrigued about what you put for Q11, just in case there's any FAVOURITISM going on.

I just put Telscombe rather than Peacehaven & Telscombe.

Living in Newhaven for as long as I did I obviously know of Telscombe Tye, but wasn't aware that the two towns shared a team.

 

[MattBackHome]

Yet again: middling score = NIL POINTS.

Get me out of this Premier league sharpish please.

I know what you are thinking. I guessed Stoke with no knowledge of the station name at all. The guess was purely educated by the Staffordshire location. Staffordshire is famous for pottery. Stoke is in the potteries. So I guessed Stoke.

Missed the turning for q3 and ended up in Grimsby ... Bugger.

On that basis can I have a point for putting Bristol Rovers instead of Bournemouth for question 2 ? I get my B's mixed up


Interesting question and was very surprised when I saw the answer as I have never heard of Pokesdown yet I have visited Bournemouth and the ground on several occasions.

Excellent quiz - keep up the good work.

Hmmm.... I hope we will all be in receipt of such generosity from the quizmaster at some point.

I'm with you, brother - I put Brisol Rovers too!

 

[Kuipers Supporters Club]

Can't believe I got Port Vale. After stopping over on the way back from Scotland we stayed 5 miles from their ground. What luck!

If only AZ Gull had posted a write-up on the scholars a couple of days before the quiz referencing a player and giving away the correct answer to this question - oh, wait a minute...

I think it was the very same day !

I get it now. Folk didn't know the station in some cases but went for Stoke on the basis of Staffordshire. Makes sense now.

8 Who officially won the National League this year, returning to the football league after a long time away ?

10 South Bermondsey station is the station to head for if you are visiting which team's ground ?

[Mellotron]

Ugh. I can’t enjoy my current position as I just KNOW I’m going to choke.

 

[Higham Seagull Army]

Bloody Hell, just keeps getting tougher,so quite happy with my Division 2 mid table mediocrity, thus far.
