    Seeing as I got the first question right, Gally's challenged me to come up with another one, so here goes.

    This one is only tangentially about Barnsley but why not. In 1912 we drew the FA cup final at Crystal Palace and then won the toss to decide the replay venue, and we picked Bramall Lane. In doing so we became the only team to win the cup in Yorkshire - though half the pitch was probably in Derbyshire!

    The fact that the match was played at Bramall Lane meant that it is one of only 2 grounds that have hosted 3 particular types of major fixture in the sporting calendar. One of these types of fixture is obviously the FA cup final, what are the other 2 types and what is the other ground?

    The Ashes is one. The Oval is the ground.

    I was thinking cricket, but others beat me to it.

    Bit misleading. Wembley has hosted the FA Cuo Final, Rugby League Final and World Speedway Final. I've been to all 3.

    Stephen Dawson went a day without making an innuendo?

    It's the last time he went 24 hours without slipping one in
