Great question- my first thought was actually that it was Brum during the early years of the Fairs Cup, glad I was wrong.

Here's another one:

Which ground had the highest capacity of any ground that has hosted regular football league games, and also recorded the lowest known football league attendance?

Clue- City played there twice.

Bugger me, these questions are hard. Can you ask me something easier. First scorer at the Ricoh? I know that one. I think.

Wembley?

Spurs used it as their home ground didn't they?

If not somewhere in the US like the Rose Bowl?

We have a winner! Nice one D O'D! We played there twice in Div 3 South before they folded. Primarily a greyhound track, 120k capacity.

West Ham Stadium - Wikipedia

will search for the youtube link, not seen that.

I think most people know the Ricoh one (was in the news after the QPR game) so let's say CBS.

good one. Wolves were famous for playing a load of floodlit friendlies such as V Honved, and London and Brum played in Fairs Cup but not sure if that would count as 'clubs'.

And going to those games, thought Waghorn would be a great signing back then.
