    Very good..... :) <applause>

    Not the very first:


    &#8226;1881 &#8230;.. A group of teenage sons of local property-owning families form the club as Watford Rovers, for the simple pleasure of kicking a ball about in Cassiobury Park


    &#8226;1882 &#8230;.. The first proper matches are undertaken, with home games played in Vicarage Meadow


    &#8226;1883 &#8230;.. Rose & Crown Meadow becomes the venue for home matches

    Ok after that one something a bit easier. If I was out watching football at Stade Francis Le Basser where would I be?

    My 'local' team were playing there last night. They took an early lead, then were pegged back. 5 mins before the end they let in a 2nd one and I thought that would be it, but 2 mins into added time they scored an equalizer. So a useful point and they need everyone they can get. :(

    All yours BB

    Which sport can't be played by left handers (unless they play with their right hands)?

    No - as far as I'm aware it isn't played in UK. Possibly because we don't grow the type of reeds used to make the baskets used to play the game...

    No - it's played with a basket, not a stick...

    It surely is - rumoured to have one of the fastest ball hits in sport, over 180mph. Although it's more of a throw than a hit...
