You're simply supposed to provide a best guess with each clues supplied. If you know the answer even better

One last time, please no breach of fair play

The latest question, is it Maine Road Manchester

Can I ask where you get the questions for this comp?
I don't think this comp can run without using Google as a reference for the questions so why not use it to get the answers too.
Maybe we need to vote on this or start a NEW comp where Google can be used .

That's nowhere near lyndhurst how did they come up with that stand name.

Post by **marko69** » Sun Jun 14, 2015 12:19 pm

1/ Built 1899, opened 1899
2/ playing surface; 102 x 69 metres.
3/ record attendance 31K v wolves
4/ today's capacity, just over 9K

BLUEBLOOD · Post by **BLUEBLOOD** » Sun Jun 14, 2015 12:41 pm

Is it the One Call Stadium in Mansfield I know that's a small ground but not sure wolves played there tho.
Could be the sort of ground that could have held 31,000 years ago.

I don't know I really don't know, guess it's somewhere close to Wolverhampton so will try a shot at Kidderminster, they play at Aggborough stadium I believe.

PS Told you once before BlueBlood the information is from a Sports publication that featured a section on soccer venues of the World. If I were to use other stadia as a round I would put together factual information I was aware of, not use reference for assistance.

You're not supposed to cheat damn it, or use reference

Sorry and you're not alone in this, but the purpose of these things is to use your own knowledge - not other peoples

I'd ask that no further instances of this are seen again - please do not use searches if you do not know the answer, it spoils it for other participants and it's not really deserving of another attempt.

Is that not Google before it went high tech ?
I may be wrong but is that using a form of reference that is not your own .!
Sports publication reference using a sports publication surly is using it as a reference ???????? not other peoples .
NO photo,s allowed either so G&B is out too.......
This game wont last much longer if you have to rely on players general knowledge of grounds.
How will players come up with the questions without a Sports Publications .....
I think only 5 are playing this......

No to Mansfield, no to Kidderminster.

5/ Paul MARINER never played for the club who plays here.

Post by **marko69** » Mon Jun 15, 2015 7:28 am

No to Oxford United, Wolfie.

6/ would've been "apt" if Paul Mariner had have played at this venue.

arana peligrosa · Post by **arana peligrosa** » Mon Jun 15, 2015 2:12 pm

Something with a nautical theme :

You better check with Saint if that is accepted as the correct answer Grimsby Town is the football club NOT the Venue.
Not sure weather he will like this as the comp is where is that venue meaning the name of the ground or stadium.

I Keep forgetting that mate, cheers.,, I think it could be Blundell Park, Grimsby..

As originator, why not be some official adjudicator - Very well, as the name of the club NOT the venue was the last response, I don't think we can accept that as a fair response.

However : Gold and Black did supply the correct venue thereafter so guess we can look the other way this time and allow the participant in question to take the next round.

Post by **marko69** » Mon Jun 15, 2015 11:35 pm

Is it indeed Blundell park. Well done that Wolf Man.

Ok I'm really off on holiday this time guys, was delayed due to daughter no being very well......., but we are off now. See you guys in a August for the new season. Happy quizzing!

This ground was built in 1898 and opened in 1899.
The record attendance was over 75k .
The four stands are named after the 4 points on the compass, although better know as other names,
This stadium also briefly hosted American football

lucy · Post by **lucy** » Tue Jun 16, 2015 12:02 am

Wembley Stadium at a wild guess?, I know that hosts American football

lucy · Post by **lucy** » Tue Jun 16, 2015 12:03 am

Actually scrap that after reading the clue about when stadium opened

arana peligrosa · Post by **arana peligrosa** » Tue Jun 16, 2015 5:02 pm

I believe it's somewhere in Yorkshire but can't target any better than that.

Probably incorrect but taking a shot with Elland Road, Leeds

BLUEBLOOD · Post by **BLUEBLOOD** » Tue Jun 16, 2015 7:57 pm

Is It Croke Park Dublin .

goldandblack · Post by **goldandblack** » Tue Jun 16, 2015 9:40 pm

no to Wembley, Croke ParK, or Elland Road,

Clue; plans are set to move this ground to Northumberland, although they were hoping to move to a ready built stadium.
This stadium was the setting for a major European final. and a part of a first to happen in the country of this stadium.

arana peligrosa · Post by **arana peligrosa** » Wed Jun 17, 2015 1:26 am

Saint James' Park Newcastle ? I don't know

It's near Northumberland and they played a european final there once ? (Fairs Cup 1969 ?)

BLUEBLOOD · Post by **BLUEBLOOD** » Wed Jun 17, 2015 6:03 pm
