Who plays at Wesley Park?

Never heard of it 

Sorry, the clue might have been a tad erroneous, it's West Leigh Park. And Havant and Waterlooville. Who, now I have double checked are actually in Conference South, so I am sorry as I said at the top these were all from top 5! My apologies.

So are you highland as in Scotland? My old man was from so far north I’ve been to a couple of Ross County games

Thank you, MrBibs!! I am just updating the list wiht what is still to go, please just bear with for a few mins!! Trying to make sure I include all the clues everyone has got

Ah yes, I was in the Highlands, I lived in Fort William for about two years. But am from Somerset, and currently in Gdańsk, Poland.

How can we melt the ice to let the lady out of her garden? (S)   Saltergate! 

Classic, ha ha!

It certainly helps being a city fan doing this quiz (having been up and down the divisions). I remember once when I was living in Leicester I confused Colchester with Chesterfield (or something like that) and went to the wrong game. Northampton were the away team instead of City. Keith Welch was in goal for them!

Haha cheers, and yes, nailed it!

Oh wow...that is quite the difference in destination!! There's a story you'll always remember! I'd love to know at what point you realised the mistake (I can imagine trying to identify the players warming up, thinking we've got a lot of new signings today....)

Good morning everyone,

I have put the last few unanswered clues below...

Thank you for your other answers last night, I have updated them above.

So.....admission time...In reading this morning, I realised I have put the wrong initials on clue number 97. You have all of my apologies, I don't know how I did it - especially after proof reading at least 4 times!! So, it should in fact be KP, not KS. When you get the answer, you might see how I could have made that error, and hopefully you'll forgive me for such a boo boo!!

Happy Sunday everybody :) 

This is how that clue should now read.........  Main ignitor (KP)

 

 

Graham nor Taylor, had the energy to stand up straight here – So Leant (SM) 

Wide Pasture (BR) 

'ere, jus how 'eavy were tha' ther playgrownd? (TP) 

The second big bang could be here (RG) 

Calculate the mass of the wide foyer (BW)
