A big clue here - the record referred to was consecutive appearances in the Europa League - 20 consecutive seasons, a sequence which only came to an end this season. In earlier days lovingly referred to by their rivals as the rat chasers.
I'm thinking Netherlands - rat baiting was quite big there, as are Terriers. Feyenoord, maybe?
As Ajax is my favourite European club I would love to be able to refer to Feyenoord as the rat chasers Fez - but unfortunately I can't
Not far away though.Time for more clues, or rather a summary.
20 years continuous participation in the Europa League (a record) = consistently a top performer in their league, but not quite in the European elite or this would have been broken by Champions League knockout stage appearances. Sequence broken this season.
Rat baiting was a sport there = probably close to lots of water
Named their stadium after a revolutionary butcher from the 14th century = Must have been a very symbolic character in some way. There's also a statue of him in the market square.
Fox terriers = Some historic connection to England ?

Thats the one Yorkie. They have played the last 20 years in the Europa League - a sequence which they ended this season by getting through to the knockout phase of the Champions League. Their current stadium is named after Jan Breydel who led a Flemish revolt against the King of France (whether he actually did this is open to question) and is seen as an early central symbolic figure of Flemish nationalism. Over to you.

Where would you find Cafe 62....and why is it called that?

Thanks, yorkie.
Who is celebrating his only Watford goal?
So good, you had to say it twice?
You are a toad. I don't even remember his name. Over to you, Matej.
OK... Now, let's head on the away coach to this unique venue:
Can you name this stadium and the team that plays here? Championship long ball would be ideal here! Shrewsbury Town's Fred may be needed...

Good job, oldfrenchorn! With a sea level of over 2000 metres, away sides would struggle - hopefully not us at Luton on Saturday...
