Re: Rare Entries Quiz VI
It is only now that I realise the folly of having questions with a wide range of answers.
Having said that, there are no questions where everyone got 1 point... just calculating them, answers up shortly.

Re: Rare Entries Quiz VI
My only quibble is with question one (I answered Burnley). I got this from Wikipedia:
The first season of the Football League began a few months later on 8 September with 12 member clubs from the Midlands and North of England: (Accrington, Aston Villa, Blackburn Rovers, Bolton Wanderers, Burnley, Derby County, Everton, Notts County, Preston North End, Stoke F. C., (renamed Stoke City in 1928,)[8] West Bromwich Albion and Wolverhampton Wanderers ).

Re: Rare Entries Quiz VI
If you mean the current-day Kent, fair enough, but in the olden days, Kent extended right up to London Bridge!
I'm clutching at straws here...

True, but the areas that Millwall were playing in were never Kent at the time they were playing.Starkey7 wrote:If you mean the current-day Kent, fair enough, but in the olden days, Kent extended right up to London Bridge!

Also, Root, you're right (transcription error on my part - apologies) so I'll recalculate your scores.
