So, to help relieve the awfulness of summer, this is a rare answers quiz. The questions aren’t supposed to be difficult but the idea is to get the answer right, but also to get an obscure answer, a bit like Pointless.
Eg, if 12 people reply, and you get the answer wrong or you don’t answer this question, you score 12. If you get it right, but get the same answer as 2 other people, you score 3. If you get an unique right answer you score 1. Then you multiply all your scores together to get your final score. So, the best score ever is 1.
There will no doubt be some controversial answers which can be discussed at the end (don’t discuss them during the quiz, please), and I’m no expert at all on Rovers history so I’ll probably need help with sorting out which answers are actually right.
Answers should be PMed to me before end of day on Sunday 9th July. This thing doesn’t really work unless you get, say 10 or more people, so please have a go! Sign in below if you intend to play.
1. A Bristol Rovers manager since 1950.
2. Someone who has played at Wembley, for us.
3. A ground we’ve scored 3 at in a game this millennium.
4. Someone who’s been sent off, while playing for us in a league game.
5. A team we’ve paid a fee to for a transfer.
6. Someone who’s played for us and Swindon Town, since 1950.
7. Someone who scored for us last season.
8. Someone who played a senior international game while playing for us.
9. A ground we’ve taken 3,000 or more to this millennium.
10. A type of cheese.

Sent, cracking idea! I wasn't sure on the rules on Google so to play to the true spirit of pointless I restrained myself!
Lots of good potential answers out there, I look forward so seeing the results!

The problem with number 5 is that there is only one answer - QPR  |

Lots of good potential answers out there, I look forward so seeing the results! Of course, if everyone takes the stance of looking for the most obscure answers on Google then there will be many duplicates. That leaves the way open for someone to enter a very well known/popular answer but still win by being the only one to offer that answer as everyone else went for the obscure. |
