Made an arse of Question 3, apologises but nearly everyone answered a year except for one or two and it was meant to be "what year". Also Question 8 asked what teams, don't think anyone answered with more than one team.;)

Just recounted over the 2 rounds, and actually dor83 you only got 1 point in round 1 not 4, bit of a typo on my part. Round 3, the final round will be up in 2 mins.

Edit: Just saw your post Gavin. I've got to go unfortunately.
