blonde Football Quiz League

[scotty2hatty]

The blonde Football Quiz League is planned to be a long-running quiz so basically if you enjoy football quizzes/trivia then sign up in thread. Full details are listed below.  You will not need to be an expert as the questions will be of varying levels. You can leave the game at any time, and join at any time.

• There are 4 leagues of 6 players: The Premiership, The Championship, League One, and League Two.
• Each Season will consist of 15 questions and will be posted in the opening post of this thread as well as in the body of the thread.
• Players will have 48-72hrs after the questions have been posted to PM answers to myself - an exact deadline will always be given.
• At the end of each season, two players will be relegated from The Premiership, The Championship, and League One. If we are at a maximum of 24 players and other players wish to join then there will also be relegation from League Two.
• At the end of each season, two players will be promoted from The Championship, League One, and League Two.
• Knockout cup competitions will also be introduced based on popularity
• Obviously, I cannot monitor it but, googling is against the rules: Simply look at the questions and answer them
