Answer: JJB Stadium

Wigan Athletic were originally based at Springfield Park, but moved to the JJB Stadium in 1999. The new stadium, that houses both Wigan Athletic Football Club and Wigan Rugby League Club, was renamed the DW Stadium at the start of the 2009-10 football season. It has a capacity of 25,000.

6. In Scrabble, how many points is the letter J worth?

Answer: 8

Scrabble was invented by Alfred Butts in 1938, and was originally called 'Criss-Crosswords'. It was first manufactured in 1948, when the name was changed to Scrabble. The highest scoring tiles are Q and Z, worth 10 points each. Interestingly, there is now a Welsh version of the game available, with separate tiles for Welsh letters such as CH, DD, FF, NG, LL, PH, RH and TH.

7. What is the collective noun for a group of jellyfish?

Answer: A smack

I think some of the collective nouns are fantastic! A brood can describe chickens or hens, a mischief relates to mice, and a knot describes toads. Other interesting ones include a quiver of cobras, a weyr of dragons, an implausibility of gnu and a dazzle of zebra.

8. Julian the Hospitaller is the patron saint of which of the following?

Answer: Jugglers

There really is a patron saint for almost everything! Eligius is the patron saint of jockeys, Mary of the Assumption of Jamaica, and Odilo is the saint of jaundice. Please check out http://www.catholic-forum.com/SAINTS/indexsnt.htm for more information.

9. What was the name of the actor who partnered with Dean Martin in 16 films?

Although Dean Martin did work with all of these people, it was with Jerry Lewis that he enjoyed a partnership lasting for 16 feature films, including "Artists and Models", "3 Ring Circus" and "Hollywood or Bust".

10. Which of the following is the name of a line on the London Underground?

Answer: Jubilee

The Jubilee line was opened in May 1979, making it the London Underground's newest line. It is the grey line on the track, has 27 stations, and is 36.2km long.
