TiffToff88 Posted 16 March 2020 Posted 16 March 2020 I think we need to bring back the weekly quizzes. But make them daily. Or hourly. Or every 5 minutes...

Berwick Ringers, Swansea City, Cardiff City, Newport County Wrexham No idea No idea
Alf Bentley Posted 16 March 2020 Posted 16 March 2020 3 minutes ago, Facecloth said: Berwick Ringers, Swansea City, Cardiff City, Newport County Wrexham No idea No idea 3/4 for the 1st question. Answer to 2nd question is incorrect.
Jimothy Posted 16 March 2020 Posted 16 March 2020 3 minutes ago, Alf Bentley said: 3/4 for the 1st question. Answer to 2nd question is incorrect. Well question 2 is Berwick then as I just remembered they were relegated last year. Are The New Saints technically in England?

Is that Oswestry Town? Merged with TNS in Wales?
Alf Bentley Posted 16 March 2020 Posted 16 March 2020 2 minutes ago, Facecloth said: Well question 2 is Berwick then as I just remembered they were relegated last year. Are The New Saints technically in England? Correct re. Berwick......and you've caught me out re. New Saints. New Saints do play in Oswestry, but I'd overlooked them - so there are 5 clubs for Q.1 - and you've now identified 4 of them.

On that note then, the Deva Stadium pitch is actually in Wales, so do Chester count?
Alf Bentley Posted 16 March 2020 Posted 16 March 2020 4 minutes ago, TiffToff88 said: Is that Oswestry Town? Merged with TNS in Wales? This is getting messy due to my error! No, Oswestry Town wasn't the intended answer to Q.4 and is a bit dubious anyway, as they didn't play league football in Wales, only non-league - New Saints played league football. 3 minutes ago, String fellow said: Derry City? Correct - that's all 4 for Q.1

Jimothy Posted 16 March 2020 Posted 16 March 2020 Just now, Alf Bentley said: Virus, come and get me!!! Sorry Alf
Alf Bentley Posted 16 March 2020 Posted 16 March 2020 1 minute ago, Facecloth said: Sorry Alf No prob! So, you've got the first 2 questions between you - and you've got the 3rd by default (Wrexham - No, I didn't realise they'd been gone that long, either) Just leaves Q.4.....
TiffToff88 Posted 16 March 2020 Posted 16 March 2020 Ok I've got one... Which British football stadium is the closest stadium in Europe to the coast?

Benguin Posted 16 March 2020 Posted 16 March 2020 Phase 1: the shop is down £100 from the theft. Phase 2: the shp remains £100 down as the sale can be considered a separate transaction. At the end of the day when the shopkeeper does the books his till is £100 down. You could make a case that it's less because the stock is probably worth less than £70 but that's neither here nor there.

Jimothy Posted 16 March 2020 Posted 16 March 2020 Just now, TiffToff88 said: Prenton Park? It's an old question actually, when it was set these were a league club, but they aren't anymore.
String fellow Posted 16 March 2020 Posted 16 March 2020 Which English and Scottish league clubs have in their first name the shorter full first name of another club? Examples from clubs not necessarily still in the league would be Chesterfield -> Chester City and Shrewsbury Town -> Bury.
