Yachtsmun's Gurt Christmas Quiz - RESULTS AND ANSWERS

[yachtsmun]

Well, the results are in! Glad people enjoyed it. I'll PM the rest of you with your scores to spare blushes (where appropriate), quite a few of you would have scored much higher if you'd remembered to name the stadiums as well as the home club in rounds 2 and 9. Well done everyone all the same, and here are the top 3:

1. Grumpypants - 115.5/126
2. JimLFC - 115/126
3. Five and In - 96/126

Grumpypants won it by a nose, the 1/2 point coming from reference to Walthamstow Athletic, rather than Avenue. I was tempted to give the win to Jim though, as he was the only person to correctly identify the player in no. 47 as being from the Cowes F.C. programme!

The only question that no-one answered correctly was no. 12 - Sparta Rotterdam's lovely Het Casteel.

I may rustle up a small prize for the winners (watch for PMs), but for now, the prestige and glory is theirs.

Happy New Year everyone (and let me know if you stumble across any nice Cowes items )

Very surprised that I came out on top or even made it in the top ten!!! Feel on top of the World at the moment. Just want to thank Toby for organising such a challenging quiz. The moment I saw it, I never stopped thinking about it even in my sleep!!! Now the missus can get those little jobs she asked me to do finished!!
Well done once again Toby and I hope you will organise another quiz in the very near future.

[Five and In]

Very happy with third place in this most challenging quiz.
Only disappointed with two that I should have got.

Congratulations to Grumpy and Jim on their terrific scores.

Once again, thank you Toby

[Pete’s Picture Palace]

My congratulations to Grumpy and Jim on their amazing scores.

And very well done to all who beat my own score of 64 and commiserations to those who didn't!

Thanks again to Toby.

And Happy New Year to everyone

Pete

[Jim LFC]

Well done Grumpy!........Half a point!

Seriously though, I stumbled across Doncaster ROVERS v Wrexham 1946 on the excellent Ugarte5's Wrexham site but wrote TRANMERE instead of DONCASTER for no79! It was very late that night!

A lot of the other answers came from spirited guesses and subliminal buying, selling and handling programmes over 40 odd years.

The Cowes issue was one of the first I got Toby, as I sold you one just like it earlier this year!

Thanks again Toby for a fantastic quiz and a Happy New Year to one and all!

[Grumpypants]

Also like to add, very bad luck Jim and I still can't get over putting Athletic instead of Avenue and for not getting the Southampton question right as I have virtually all that seasons programmes in my collection
So some good has come from the 45 years of programme collecting as I keep reminding the missus!!!
