A little puzzle for yers...

Here's a little question for you to provide a few minutes' distraction. I tried it on some people last night who are pretty good at this sort of thing and they took about 20 minutes to find all the answers (though to be fair they had eight of them within about 3 minutes).

- Name the nine FL/Prem grounds that are also home to a top flight rugby team of either code.

In each case state the name of the stadium, the name of the Association football side, and the name of the Rugby Football side. For example, if you went back 8 or 9 years one of the answers would have been Victoria Park / Hartlepool United / West Hartlepool.

If you need some clues, scroll down and you'll find some cryptic ones. :wink:

1. Rogers coward's team?
2. Birds before Sanders gets his hands on them.
3. Sounds like lasses grow here.
4. Orwell's journey end?
5. Windows victims might be an example of this!
6. Penzance might have been a more appropriate home...
7. Wotcha doin'??
8. I wonder if Bryan leaves his car here.
9. Holy trail!

In no particular order

Edgeley Park Stockport county Sale Sharks
Adams park Wycombe Wanderers Wasps
KC Stadium Hull City Hull FC
Galpharm Hudds Town Hudds Giants
Memorial Bristol Rovers Bristol
Madejski Reading London Irish
JJB Wigan Ath Wigan Warriors
Liberty Swansea City Swansea Ospreys
Vicarage Road Watford Saracens.

Saracens played their last league game of last season at stadium mk and look to be moving there. Their next match is there.

Nine outa nine for Tickhill. clappp

Leicester have their own ground, Mr Blue.

I thought the Ospreys was a bit of a trick one, which is why I was careful to say "top flight" rugby and not premiership or owt. :laugh:

P.S. according to this, Saracens don't seem to be going anywhere:

Apparently they have used MK Stadium when Vicarage Road was unavailable. They have played Bristol there in a league match. So, at the moment, MK stadium seems to be the back up. Big catchment area at MK, so you never know.

And Rochdale, and Oldham, and even arguably Rotherham ...
They don't answer the question though. :wink:

I think they only played at MK Dons ground because Watford reached the playoffs and their home leg semi final game clashed with a Saracens match, obviously the normal league fixtures are sorted out between the two clubs so there is normally no fixture clash
