Last Answer: by Rava Today at 17:00

"Eugene Cernan, December 1972"

In the 1966 World Cup, matches were played at two London venues. Wembley was one, but what was the other?

Was it The Valley? That was a huge ground at one point.

No Julius. Try again.

Stamford Bridge?

Nope.

North or south of the Thames?

I'm saying North with about 90% assurance.

Upton Park?

Sorry Breaker, no.

A clue. This ground was better known for other sports.

Crystal Palace?

Was it a dog track or something?

Breaker you are getting there.

Not the old Olympic Stadium... near that jail or near where QPR play?
Forgotten the names. (of the famous jail west of Holland Park and the ground)

just remembered... Wormwood Scrubs. (no points for that I know)

That's the one but what was it's name?

White City.

Should roll off my tongue because we have a tennis venue here named after it!

You got there in the end.

Funny, we were talking about White City just the other day when the Olympics was on. It was fresh in my mind... then it got displaced by other events. Is that the same ground where Loftus Road is now?

From wiki "In 1966, Wembley's owner's refusal to cancel regular greyhound racing meant the match between Uruguay and France in the 1966 FIFA World Cup was played at White City."

and "The stadium was demolished in 1985 and the site is now occupied by BBC White City."

And to think that some people diss Wiki!!

What animal became extinct on this day (September 7th) 1936?

The Dodo?

Tasmanian Tiger.

Correct Rava.

What is the connection between York Minster, The Rovers Return, Manchester United and the Jedi Council on Coruscant?

Yep Kenny, it is. Keep yer powder dry mate.

Stained glass windows?
The name of a particular person?
A number?

No, No, No

It's to do with a boardgame, isn't it? (and I can't remember which one! The jedi one is throwing me.....)

Warm, Dreamer

It's Monopoly isn't it?

this is seriously annoying, it bugged me all of yesterday evening after I'd read the question too.

The blydi Jedi one is making me think of Risk but the others sure as hell don't fit into that....

ah what! Monopoly!

Oh botheration I bet it is as well, I completely forgot about that one

Are each of them 'mayfair' on their respective monopoly boards?

Gold Star for Prop as this is the actual answer I was looking for.

Silver for Ozzie.

Wooo do I get one of those shirts everyone else has as a prize?! Ozzy; you can do the next one as I'm going to struggle to get one on till tonight!!

Ok I've got one.

Lions: March-2001, January-2005, October-2009

What do the months to the years have in common and also why is the decade of the 70's so important for these too?

Prop, is "Lions:" significant and pertaining to all three dates?

Yep, and it's rugby based

the only time they've won matches in... dunno - South Africa?

Nope. I'm happy to give hints if people want?

Is it to do with the nationality of the coaches ?

Nope, the month links to something to do with the tour it's next to.

The decade links all 3 months.

Lions lost all those matches but won the corresponding ones in the 70s?

Nah that's not it. The month mentioned is to do with someone on the tour (the year next to it). The decade links it all

OK
The years are the tours?
The months relate to a person on the tour - something that happened in that month/year to a person?
1970s - they year they were born maybe?

This guy's very very very close!! Just need to work out the month and who it relates to!!

Is the month to do with the coach or captain ? 70's being when they were born
