OT - The Pub Quiz Thread

I didn’t have Luton but I suppose I was thinking of plummeting rather than rising…

 

On the non-league theme, which team lost the second League Cup final?

 

I don't know which teams were in last year's final, but I know that that's Rochdale.

 

Correct.

United v Newcastle apparently. Can’t say I remember it.

 

QPR played at White City Stadium for the 1962-63 season with gates barely reaching five figures. What was the highest recorded attendance at the stadium and for what event?

 

There were greyhounds and boxing there, as well as a match during the 66 World Cup, but no idea what actual event had the highest attendance

 

Yeah I was going to say a dog race but don’t know the names of the dog races.

 

The Grand Gnashernal?

The Epsom Dobermany

 

There were 45,662 at the Uruguay v France game in 1966.

It was for a dog race - the Greyhound Derby in 1939.

What was the attendance, within 5,000?

 

The goldie cup

 

90k?

 

Yeah, 92,000.

 

I went to White City Stadium when I was a kid, my mun took us to see a Celebrity 11 v the World Cup winning 66 Team, must've been late 70s/early 80s as we were still in East Acton then so not too far to walk. As far as I can remember, pretty much the whole team bar Alan Ball were there (he was still playing at the time) so it was quite a special occasion.

 

Which artist scored the first number 1 in the UK charts, and what was the song?

 

Haha, that's where I got the idea from! All yours
