Wiles't I persue the answer to these questions I thought I would have a little fun.
[quote="MidDevon"]How well do you know your league 2 grounds?
Torquay have played at each of these venues
1.Which club have an NHS Dental practice within the ground? Well It should be Plainmoor as watching our team over many years it felt like I was pulling teef.
2.Which club have just recently in the last month, had planning permission for a new stand which will more than double their seating capacity?
I thought of our local football club. Yate town. They put a plastic chair out for us to sit on.
3.Which part of Port Vale's away end was purcahsed from an old division 4 ground? and who was the club?They couldn't afford a bag of chips let alone purchase the away end. I bet it was nicked
4.Which club has dug out's opposite the main stand in front of the terrace (a brave move!)?
Bahgdad Utd. Together with anti aircraft guns and sentries
5.Which club have no dug outs?
Rovers. They have slit trenches for Buckle to hide in.
6.Which club's home ground is set partly in a public park?Wow I didn't know anyone had found Trashton Gate.
7.Prior to moving to their present ground this club shared their ground with the cricket club, who are they?
The only club to be out for a duck. 3 geese and a Vulture. AFC Northampton San Siro. I also thought that Halifax shared the shay with the Cricket club but was assured that it was Halifax that were the cookoo's on the nest
8.Which club have an art deco" entrance? Rovers again boys. Grafiti at thier entrance qualified as it was thought to be by Banksie
I am only joking Rovers fans. I know it was really bad to tarnish the memorial gates and have no wish to glorify that at all. but we all have our fun don't we. you know what I mean after last season!

If No one gets the answer to the question "Which Torquay player suffered an embarrasing injury after a game on the coach went wrong". I will close the entries and provide the answer tomorow evening.

Lee Thorpe broke his arm arm-wrestling, but he was a Rochdale player at the time and I think it was on the way to a game.

Well at last someone had a crack at it.
You are partly right.
Lee Thorpe was indeed the player involved.
He had his arm broken by arm wrestling on the coach on the way to a game when he was playing for Rochdale.
The Player who Broke his arm. Rene Howe.
So two Torquay players involved but not nec at Torqauy.
I know I am a naughty minx, a bit of a trick question but you cracked it mostly in the end
WELL DONE

Torquay have played at each of these venues
1.Which club have an NHS Dental practice within the ground? After the rebuilding of their ground Bradford City now have a merchant of doom residing within their premises. I know of another ground with a dentist. I know thier not a league 2 club and I cannot remember if we have played them but Derby County do.
2.Which club have just recently in the last month, had planning permission for a new stand which will more than double their seating capacity? I think this is Creepy Crawley town otherwise known as Gatport Airwick Rovers.
3.Which part of Port Vale's away end was purcahsed from an old division 4 ground? and who was the club?
The Away end was covered by the roof from Chester Cities old Sealand Road ground
4.Which club has dug out's opposite the main stand in front of the terrace (a brave move!)?
Wimbledon.
5.Which club have no dug outs? One of my favourite Ground. Crewes Alexandra stadium also known by us older fans as Gresty Road
6.Which club's home ground is set partly in a public park? If we don't know it by now we never will. Plymuffs Home Park isa situated at the end of Central park
7.Prior to moving to their present ground this club shared their ground with the cricket club, who are they?
Norfampton San Biro used to share with the cricket Club
8.Which club have an art deco" entrance?
. I am purely guessing this one is Bristol Rovers as the memorial gates at the corner of the stadium itself is a grade 1 listed structure built after the Great War to commemorate those who gave their lives. It had recently been vandalised by graffiti and this incured the wrath at both Rovers and City, Indeed city fans even raised a lot on money to pay for the cleaning up and refurbishment of the gates such was their disgust.

These are easy to cheat on but I'm hoping you won't..
- First British all-seater stadium?
- Most successful Scottish club in European Competitions?
- Most played International fixture of all time?
- Most played English top flight fixture of all time?
- Lowest attendance in Premier League history?
That'll do for now...

The first all seated British stadium was Clydebank
the lowest attendance in Premier legue history, would have been Wimbledon, who ofetn got crowds around 5,000 and drop as low as 3,000 for one match I believe

Incorrect about the first all-seater stadium, unless I'm wrong! It is north of the border though.
You're right about Wimbledon, the lowest is just 3000.

I'm gonna hazard a guess at Arsenal v Everton, or vice versa as they have collectively spent the least amount of time outside the top flight in the last 100 years.
Any good?
