Grovesred Posted May 30, 2008 Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 From Red&Blue http://www.yorkcityfc.com/ York Minstermen committee member Phil Howden compiled this quiz for our AGM - and taunted me mercilessly throughout with drunken text messages from the Ukraine. There are 48 points up for grabs - can you do better without searching for the answers on the internet? In fairness most people here might struggle a bit with the York City section, but see how you do. The winners of the quiz scored 38 points.
