Q2 - In the 1966 World Cup, the Uruguay v France game was switched from Wembley to the White City Stadium. Why?

Fantastic guesses there Champers. Not quite on the dosh though.

 

Carry on improving and you will soon be pushing your pawn.

 

I'll make them easy peasy for this week. Throw in a United question (or three).

3. Plastic pitch? or are we not counting the old first division.

 

I know Hull City is the only league team where you can't colour in a letter but that would be the same in the Chmpionship.

Interesting! Was there a red herring thrown in to side-track the thinking?

 

The owners at the time of the club being in the EPL want to change the name to Hull Tigers? That would have spoiled their uniqueness. There was a revolt and the idea was dropped.

 

Bang on the money there BS. Get the other two correct and you could be contemplating openings
