How Many Roads? Trivia Quiz

Answer: Leeds United

The ground dates back to 1897, when it was occupied by Holbeck Rugby Club as a rugby league stadium. After the demise of Holbeck, the ground was leased by the newly formed Leeds City football club. Leeds United took possession of the stadium in 1919 and it has remained their home ground ever since.

The 2010 film 'The King's Speech' used Elland Road to film scenes set at Wembley Stadium, and the ground has also hosted concerts by bands such as U2 and The Kaiser Chiefs.

Answer: Grace Road

Leicestershire County Cricket Ground Ltd. bought the land for Grace Road in 1877 and developed it to contain a cricket ground. The county club was allowed to play there for a fee and share of the gate receipts. Due to poor transport links, the club moved nearer to the city centre in 1901 before returning to Grace Road in 1946.

The club was able to buy the ground in 1965 and it has since been redeveloped to become a first class venue. Information for this question has been taken from www.leicestershireccc.co.uk.

Answer: Watford

Watford Football Club was formed in 1881 and moved to Vicarage Road in 1922, buying the stadium in 2001, selling it again in 2002 and buying it back in 2004. Their best known fan is probably Sir Elton John, one time owner, major investor and life president. Saracens were formed in 1876 and are officially based in St. Albans. Difficulties in finding a suitable home ground came to an end when they reached an agreement to ground share with Watford. Of the other choices, Luton's ground has been Kenilworth Road since 1905 and Fulham have played at Craven Cottage since 1896. Millwall's home ground was The Den from 1885 until 1993 when they moved to a ground called The New Den.

Answer: Iffley Road

The track underwent renovation in 2007 and was reopened by Lord (Sebastian) Coe. At the same time, the name was changed in honour of Roger Bannister. In 1954, Bannister was a medical student and competing as an amateur. On 6 May 1954, at a competition against Cambridge University, Bannister had the opportunity to make an attempt on the record, with Chris Chataway and Chris Brasher as his pacemakers. Bannister's finishing time was 3 minutes 59.4 seconds, although in the era of professional athletes the record has since been reduced by over 15 seconds.

Answer: Worcestershire

The ground is one of the most picturesque in the UK as it is situated on the banks of the River Severn and overlooked by Worcester Cathedral. The proximity to the river leads to regular flooding, most often in the winter. In July 2007 the ground was flooded during the playing season, leading to several cancelled matches. Kent's main home ground is the St. Lawrence Ground in Canterbury and Surrey's is The Oval (prefixed by various sponsor's names). Hampshire has played at The Rose Bowl, Southampton, since 2001.

Answer: St. Andrews

The Road Hole is the 17th on the Old Course and gets its name from the turnpike road at the back of the green. Other hazards include a stone wall and the bunker, which has caused many professional golfers to come to grief in their bid for Open glory. Among them are Tommy Nakajima, who took five shots to get out in 1978, Constantino Rocco, who took three in 1990, and David Duval, who took four shots in 2000.

Answer: Wimbledon

The SW19 postcode is almost as well known as the Wimbledon name, and is often used in the media as shorthand for the annual tennis championships held there. Wimbledon is one of the four major tournaments, also known as 'Grand Slam' events, held during the year with the others being the Australian, French and US Open tournaments.

The other London locations given as options are also famous - Wembley primarily for football, Twickenham for rugby union and Lord's for cricket.

Answer: Bristol

The ground was originally bought by W.G. Grace, one of the best known cricketers of his era. The ground has changed hands a few times since, with the name reflecting the ownership of the time, but has been back in the ownership of the club since 1984. Bristol itself is not situated in Gloucestershire, as it has been a county in its own right since 1373, but its location makes it the largest city in the area. Gloucestershire County Cricket Club plays home matches at the Cheltenham Festival each year, and also plays at Gloucester on occasions.

Answer: Leicester Tigers

The club was formed in 1880 and have been known as the 'Tigers' since their early days, apparently from a newspaper report referring to their 'tiger stripes'. In 2004 the club investigated a ground sharing arrangement with their football counterparts, Leicester City, at the Walkers Stadium but discussions fell through. Since then the club has bought additional ground with redevelopment having commenced in 2008.

Answer: Rangers

Loftus Road is another stadium to have been home to a rugby union club, as London Wasps played there between 1996 and 2002. Fulham also played there for two seasons while Craven Cottage was being redeveloped between 2002 and 2004. The ground has also hosted rugby league matches and boxing.

The name of Queens Park comes from the area of London from which most of the players originated. The club was formed in 1882 and became professional in 1889. They gained promotion to the Premier League at the end of the 2010/11 season.
