Pleased to have scraped into mid table here

[Kmac84]

Above my own expectations, think I came close to another few points on the board.  

Was pretty sure I had the stadiums rightfor the championship question but was was it because i named the teams rather than Stadiums  I never got it?

Small slip up by degston77 on question 24 leaves kp24 a single point ahead of him and TightEnd with one question to come.
