Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Bolton Wanderers moved to which new stadium in 1997?

Answer: Reebok Stadium

Bolton's new stadium wasn't actually in Bolton at all, but nearby Horwich.

2. Sunderland moved to the 48,000 seat Stadium of Light. Which European club played at the original "Estadio da Luz"?

Answer: Benfica

Sunderland say the name Stadium of Light was chosen to illuminate the way forward for the club, and not linked to the other ground of the same name.

Answer: St Johnstone

St. Johnstone played in Perth and moved to McDiarmid Park in 1989.

Answer: City of Manchester Stadium

Manchester City became the tenants of this wonderful stadium which was the centrepiece of the 2002 Commonwealth Games. The club then re-fitted it out and removed the running track, allowing their passionate fans to create an intimidating atmosphere when the need arises.

5. Huddersfield Town moved in 1995 to the impressive MacAlpine Stadium. The stadium later renamed _____ ?

Answer: Galpharm Stadium

Some of the new style stadiums had been labelled soul-less and dull. Not this one, with its arched stands and large girders swathing the structure.

6. Middlesbrough moved to the Riverside Stadium in 1995. Which of these London clubs were their opponents in the first league match played there?

Answer: Chelsea

Middlesbrough finally won a major trophy on 29th February 2004, when they beat Bolton 2-1 to win the Carling Cup. As the final whistle blew, many of the victorious fans wept openly and hugged each other. Such is the power of sport.

7. The Roman name for this town was Deva, a name that the football club chose to call their new 6,000 seat capacity stadium. Who played at the Deva Stadium?

Answer: Chester City

Later renamed the Saunders Honda Stadium, as Roman influence gives way to Japanese, but is still called "the Deva Stadium" by many.

8. All four of these clubs have moved into new grounds during the 1990s and 2000s. Which one moved to their new ground post-2000?

Answer: Coventry City

Coventry's Ricoh Arena had opened in September 2005 whereas Millwall moved to the New Den in 1993, and Reading began playing at the Madejski Stadium in 1998. Stoke City built the Brittania Stadium in 1998.

9. Derby County moved to Pride Park in 1997. What was the name of their old ground?

Answer: Baseball Ground

Back in the 1970s , Derby had one of the best teams in the land who, ironically, played on one of the worst pitches, the notorious Baseball Ground.

10. Which team played at the 27,500 seater Williamson Motors Stadium until March 2006, when it was renamed?

Answer: Darlington

It was built in 2003, and renamed Darlington Football Stadium in March 2006.
Feetham's was Darlington's home ground for 120 years, from 1883 to 2003.

Outside the Premiership, Darlington played in what is widely regarded as the best of the new stadiums. It has marble floors, escalators, and automatic-flush toilets. But that doesn't win you football matches.
