Title: Guess the number - quiz 9, Cardiff edition Post by: Rubbish2407 on April 12, 2020, 10:59:01 AM I’ve worked for the following sporting oganisations in the past, WRU, Cardiff Blues, Cardiff RFC, Cardiff City FC. How much do you know about the great sporting City of Cardiff? I’ll make it as easy as possible for you.
1. Millennium Stadium as a capacity for Rugby Union at 73,9?? 2. The Old Cardiff Arms Park had a final capacity of 53,0?? 3. Cardiff City FC was founded as Riverside A.F.C. in 18?? 4. Bleddyn Williams, the Price of Centres holds the record of most tries in one season for Cardiff RFC in the 1947/48 season. He scored how many Tries? 5. Cardiff Blues were founded in which year? Clue >2000 6. The Millennium Stadium hosted all major Football matches when Wembley closed for Re-development. It became known as the “away team hoodoo” when the first how many matches were won by the team in the home dressing room? 7. Wales played England at the Arms Park in the last International match there in 1997. Bowing out in that match were two legends, Jonathan Davies and Will Carling. How many caps did they have between them, Rugby Union only? Clue > 100 8. Billy Hardy holds Cardiff City’s record appearance with how many games under his belt? Clue > 500 9. One of the great Rugby upsets was St Peters RFC beating Cardiff RFC in the Swalec Cup. Many people felt the Ref tried his hardest to give Cardiff a chance to win.

Good luck, Happy Easter and stay safe everyone. Title: Re: Guess the number - quiz 9, Cardiff edition Post by: celtic on April 13, 2020, 01:11:31 AM IN

Wikipedia has the capacity for Rugby and Football as the same? Worst day of my life was when the Stadium took over from Wembley for hosting Football matches. I was summonsed to the South Wales Police HQ and told that as I was in charge of planning the segregation for Football matches I would be formally charged if any failures on my part led to unrest or worse in the Stadium, with the minimum outcome for me being a custodial sentence.

Bleddyn Williams, the Price of Centres holds the record of most tries in one season for Cardiff RFC in the 1947/48 season. He scored how many Tries?
Ironside expected to do well in this one as he was a young Man in 1947/48 and saw the great Bleddyn Williams play live so he told me! Scotty with a major blip. The answer was 41 tries. Tighty 40 1 Juperj 39 2 Berger 37 4 Karmad 37 4 Arbboy 32 9 Ironsid 50 9 Doobs 50 9 Celtic. 53 12 Karab 27 14 Dacorb 24 17 Bunnyd 24 17 Pokerp 63 22 Nirvava 78 37 Scotty 200 159 Tighty scores his first win and glides through the field.

Cardiff Blues were founded in which year? Clue >2000
Clue >2000 should have helped a few people. Someone managed to put 1920 as an answer. Being the kindly soul I am I let him change a few of the answers that included a ">" in the question. I won't name names but I'm sure he'll hold his hand up at some point. The Blues formed in 2003. Quite a few correct answers for this. Tighty 2003 0 Berger 2003 0 Karamd 2003 0 Juperj 2002 1 Arbboy 2004 1 Karab 2004 1 Dacorb 2001 2 Scotty 2005 2 Celtic. 2006 3 Pokerp 2008 5 Bunnyd 2008 5 Doobs 2009 6 Nirvana 2010 7 Ironsid 2010 7 Dacorb stays top, Tighty climbs into the top three. Celtic continues his to five dominance. Only 50 points separating third from last but one. Scotty unfortunately adrift without a paddle.

The Millennium Stadium hosted all major Football matches when Wembley closed for Re-development. It became known as the “away team hoodoo” when the first how many matches were won by the team in the home dressing room?
An incredible 11 matches won by the home team. I did think a Football nerd would know this and it seems there are two amongst us. one I'm sure everyone would have had money on. Tighty 11 0 Juperj 11 0 Karmad 12 1 Doobs 10 1 Berger 9 2 Nirvana 13 2 Bunnyd 8 3 Arbboy 8 3 Scotty 15 4 Karab 7 4 Dacorb 5 6 Pokerp 5 6 Celtic. 5 6 Ironsid 25 14 Tighty with his third win on the spin but not enough to leapfrog Dacorb and Arbboy. Big blunder by Ironside which could cost him dearly. Lots of people bunching in mid table. The next question could be make or break. Dacorb 75 Arbboy 89 Tighty 93 Doobs 104 Celtic. 105 Karmad 110 Ironsid 110 Berger 114 Bunnyd 121 Nirvana 125 Juperj 129 Pokerp 147 Karab 148 Scotty 236 Title: Re: Guess the number - quiz 9, Cardiff edition Post by: Juperjiper on April 15, 2020, 04:35:00 PM Football nerd or random guess
Title: Re: Guess the number - quiz 9, Cardiff edition Post by: Rubbish2407 on April 15, 2020, 04:41:25 PM 7. Wales played England at the Arms Park in the last International match there in 1997. Bowing out in that match were two legends, Jonathan Davies and Will Carling. How many caps did they have between them, Rugby Union only? Clue > 100
This was Tighty's answer: 7. 113 obviously jiffy went to RL so its something like 35 and high 70s It was actually 37 for Jonathan Davies and 72 for Will Carling., 109 in total. I was at the dinner for this game and both were called to the head table to be awarded commemorative caps as they had both announced their retirement in the lead up to the game. And then, like so many of us have had to do in Rugby Clubs up and down the Country, they had to down a pint of Strongbow. They were both shite. Tighty 113 4 Doobs 120 11 Dacorb 130 21 Berger 136 27 Nirvana 140 31 Arbboy 142 33 Ironsid 150 41 Bunnyd 150 41 Scotty 165 56 Karmad 165 56 Pokerp 177 68 Celtic. 187 78 Karab 199 90 Juperj 203 94 Dacorb keeps the lead he has held since round two, just. Tighty with his fourth win moves ominously into second. Doobs makes a rare venture into the top three. Arb and Berger make up the top five. Are Ironside, Bunny, Nirvana and Karmadope out of it? Dacorb 96 Tighty 97 Doobs 115 Arbboy 122 Berger 141 Ironsid 151 Nirvana 156 Bunnyd 162 Karmad 166 Celtic. 183 Pokerp 215 Juperj 223 Karab 238 Scotty 292 Title: Re: Guess the number - quiz 9, Cardiff edition Post by: Rubbish2407 on April 15, 2020, 04:43:22 PM Football nerd or random guess I know the answer with Tighty, not sure about you Bud?

Billy Hardy holds Cardiff City’s record appearance with how many games under his belt? Clue > 500
FA Cup hero, Billy Hardy amassed 590 caps, playing until he was 41 years old. Tighty 600 10 Karmad 600 10 Ironsid 600 10 Karab 619 29 Bunnyd 620 30 Dacorb 550 40 Doobs 550 40 Berger 540 50 Celtic. 652 62 Pokerp 522 68 Scotty 666 76 Arbboy 675 85 Nirvana 750 160 Juperj 765 175 Tighty has now won the last five rounds and Dacorb finally succumbs to the relentless bombardment from the Leicester Tiger. Bad round for Arbboy sees him slip out of the top five. Ironside and Karmadope make a late charge and Scotty moves off bottom as Juperj proves he isn't a Football nerd as I might have implied earlier. Tighty 107 Dacorb 136 Doobs 155 Ironsid 161 Karmad 176 Berger 191 Bunnyd 192 Arbboy 207 Celtic. 245 Karab 267 Pokerp 283 Nirvana 316 Scotty 368 Juperj 398 Title: Re: Guess the number - quiz 9, Cardiff edition Post by: Rubbish2407 on April 15, 2020, 04:59:21 PM 9. One of the great Rugby upsets was St Peters RFC beating Cardiff RFC in the Swalec Cup. Many people felt the Ref tried his hardest to give Cardiff a chance to win. How many minutes injury time was there in the second half?
Another one I was lucky enough to be at. Here's a video of the closing moments. YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AnmAcGSzyyY If you watch it you'll notice the scoreboard where the Cardiff Groundsmen had added another digit, so sure that Cardiff were going to ring up a cricket score. The ref added a ludicrous 8 minutes but St Peters held on. Juperj 7 1 Karab 9 1 Ironsid 10 2 Celtic. 11 3 Dacorb 11 3 Doobs 12 4 Pokerp 12 4 Arbboy 12 4 Tighty 13 5 Berger 13 5 Scotty 15 7 Bunnyd 15 7 Karmad 15 7 Nirvana 16 8 Juper j and Karabiner closest but no big swings sees Tighty remain top. Dacorb looks to have sealed second place and Doobs and Ironside now battling for third spot.

The great Jonah Lomu played for Cardiff Blues for one season. How many tries did he score?
Unfortunately for Cardiff, Lomu signed after having two seasons out when he had a kidney transplant. He only played ten times before breaking his ankle and scored only the one try. A huge swing in the top five as one Rugby legend got it spot on and another had a mare.

And third place goes to...…… Tighty 113 Dacorb 150 Ironsid 163 Doobs 184 Karmad 197 Berger 201 Bunnyd 208 Arbboy 219 Celtic. 261 Karab 286 Pokerp 298 Nirvana 348 Scotty 384 Juperj 401 Ironside pips Doobs to a top three spot. Karmadope smashes another top five. Arbboy. who ran hot early on drops back to middle table. Scotty and Juperj rue a big score. Sorry if you didn't get a mention along the way.
