Yeltz Yule Quiz 2019

How well do you know your Yeltz? DJ’s Yeltz Yule Quiz returns for 2019, posing 12 questions for the 12 days of Christmas with the winning prize of a bottle of whisky. Many of the answers can be found within the official website & social media feeds, unofficial forum, matchday programme or by visiting the Grove.

Entries should be e-mailed to yeltzyule@virginmedia.com before 6th January 2020. Alternatively, answers may be handed in to DJ (David Johnson) in the Press Box or the Club Shop at one of the home games on 21st December or 1st January. The winner and correct answers will be published as soon as possible after 11th January 2020.

1. How many Cup games have the Yeltz played this season?

2. What was assistant-manager John Snape’s usual shirt number in his Yeltz playing days during the mid 1990s?

3. What unusual event happened at the Barton Rovers v Yeltz game in September?

4. Which Yeltz player has won the most Tulley’s Print Man-of-the-Match awards this season (up to and including 17th December 2019)?

5. Name FOUR different sponsors of the Southern League Cup in seasons that Halesowen Town have played in that competition (half a point for two correct sponsors).

6. Against which team did Director Keith McKenna score his only first-team Yeltz goal?

7. Name THREE different Fixed Wheel Brewery ales that have been on sale in the James Grove Lounge this season.

8. What is the nickname of the most southerly team that Halesowen visit in this season’s BetVictor Southern Division One Central?

9. What is the current seating capacity at the Grove? (answers within 20 of the correct number win a point)

10. Who scored the quickest goal in any first-team game (excluding pre-season) at the Grove this season? (half a point for the player and half a point for his team)

11. What am I? I’m very, very old, so I’ve seen thousands of players come and go. I live at the Grove and I have a perfect close-up view of the pitch. I open before a game and close immediately afterwards and I’m locked during the week. I might look blue and you can see right through me, but I’m as hard as iron underneath. What am I?

12. What will the attendance be at the Yeltz FA Trophy home game on 11th January 2020 against Maidenhead United? Answers within 25 of the actual attendance win a point. If the game is postponed, the attendance figure used will be 0 (zero).

In the event of a tie, the answer to Question 12 will be used as a tiebreaker, with the closest answer deemed the quiz winner.

Stuck without a Yeltz game on Saturday afternoon? Why not pass the time with a Yeltz quiz instead?

Final call to submit your entry by the close of play on Monday, 6th. Don't be put off if you don't know all the answers - no-one has this quiz 100% right to date, so it's still all to play for...
