Lassie

Assuming my answer is right, next question:

Name the 8 grounds used to host the 1966 world cup.

Yes well done dummy half

Wembley, Anfield, Old Trafford, Hillsborough, Villa Park, St James Park, Highbury, Goodison

Braveheart

5 out of 8 correct.

A bit of help:

The 8 venues were paired geographically, so 2 in each of:
London
North East
North West
Midlands (using a fairly generous description of the Midlands).

Wembley, Highbury, Old Trafford, Anfield, St James' Park, Riverside, Villa Park, ellend road

Hodge
Only 3 right, although you have a 4th host town/city correct but have named the new stadium, not the one from 1966...

Wembley, Highbury, Anfield, Old Trafford, St James Park, Roker Park, Villa Park, Hillsborough

Braveheart

5 again - you've got another but taken a correct one out. Also, my comment above to Hodge should help you identify one of the wrong uns.

Another clue - the really tricky one is the second London stadium (i.e. wasn't the Highbury Library)

Wembley, White Hart Lane, Old Trafford, Roker Park, Goodison, Villa Park, Hillsborough and Middlesborough's old ground

Braveheart:

London - 1 of 2 (obviously Wembley)
North west - 2 of 2 (OT, Goodison)
North-east - 1.5 of 2 (Roker Park, Middlesborough - Ayresome Park as was)
Midlands (ish) - 2 of 2 (Villa and Hillsborough)

So only the second London one to go - said it was a tricky one. Another clue is that it wasn't a stadium normally known for football (and no, I don't mean Selhurst Park )

Crystal Palace athletics stadium

No - a much bigger and more high profile stadium

Lords or The Oval

Oh, and it doesn't exist any more

No, not a cricket ground (and not Twickenham either)

I haven't got a clue, have to give up

Think Olympics...

That's a great question dummy. No idea if the answer though

Looking at your clues now, I read an article in the standard a few weeks back about the last Olympic in London and it was around Shepherds Bush so ill go for Loftus Road

I always thought the olympics were held at wembley.

This came up in our pub quiz a few months ago - 5 or 6 out of 8 was what the good teams got. Only person who knew the second London stadium was my Father in law, who went to a game there.

BBC TV centre is now the main building on the site of the stadium.

Braveheart - there have been 2 Olympic Games in London. This stadium was the venue for the first one.

Maybe they were braveheart, cause thinking back now the article was about the Olympic Village of the last one and that was in the Bush, so maybe it was just the village and Wembley was the stadium

Hughie

Loftus Road is close geographically, but see the other clues - not principally a football ground and no longer there

Well BBC is at Wood lane isn't it?? That's the tube shop anyway

Yes right part of London, and what's the area called (and the big Westfields shopping centre acorss the road)?

Or is it white city?? They are right beside each other I get them mixed up

i gave up and wikipedia'd it, no way in hell i was getting that good question

Finally - White City Stadium was the other host

Your go Hughie

Jesus took me long enough, never heard of that stadium



Titanic had a sister ship, what was she called??

No chance of getting that, never heard of it. Good question dummy half

Titanic had a sister ship, what was she called??

i'm sure i know that

Well she actually had two, bonus point for getting the second one (she was named twice, renamed after titanic sank)

the olympic...?

That's her, any joy on the bonus point??

hughie1986 wrote:Well she actually had two, bonus point for getting the second one (she was named twice, renamed after titanic sank)

I thought it was the Lusitania....just googled to check my answer, before posting, and I'm wrong!!

She was the pride of the Canard line, along with the Mauritania.

Sunk by a German torpedo off kinsale in 1915, considered a major factor in bringing America into the war

arrgghhh i did titanic i like year 8 or 9

The Cunard Line built the Lusitania and the Mauretania.

Is one of them Brittannia

Braveheart your right, but what was she originally called

Oceanic ?

Nope

Well ill tell you cause officially it was never called it, but it was original going to be called Gigantic

Wow that's strange that's what my girlfriend calls my *cough* eh ego.

I think braveheart is up

Isn't it hodge's turn
