    I think Cologne has it .

    "Châteauneuf-du-Pape is a wine region in the southern Rhône Valley of France, known for its connection to the Avignon Papacy.The name translates to "the Pope's new castle," as the papacy relocated to Avignon in the 14th century, and Châteauneuf-du-Pape became a favorite wine region for the popes.Historically, Châteauneuf-du-Pape wines were known for their distinctive, heavy bottles embossed with papal insignia"

    Cheers Yorkie

    The picture below is currently the site of the original stadium of an EFL club - the record attendance for which was 7,886 in an FA cup match

    Which club and which stadium?

    If it's what I think it is then my cousin runs a pub in the city. I think it's the original site of Durham City FC (Holiday Park) - though it doesn't look very inviting for holidays. They played in the league for a couple of seasons in the 1920s.

    It is indeed Durham City FC. Inaugural members of Division 3 North, they failed to get re-elected in 1928 and were replaced by Carlisle United.

    The ground shown was actually Kepier Haughs - they moved to Holiday Park in 1923.

    Over to you.

    Cheers BB. This is a topical question. There are 5 of them - two Italians, one Armenian, one Frenchman and one from Devon. One was a woman (and has a city named after her) and another could be seen as the gateway to Sheffield. They are often not spoken about in a nice way. Who are they collectively known as.

    Mostly the woman is the worst of the 5. The English one was from Crediton.

    Sorry to be misleading here but actually 3 of them were Italian, one Armenian and one French. The third Italian bore the same name as an Englishman from Crediton (hence the mistake). As stated previously the woman has a reputation as being the worst/sharpest and has a city named after her. Although grouped together they never knew each other. Also getting less topical day by day.
