"General Knowledge Quiz"

What General forum doesn't have a General Knowledge quiz, well, now this one does.
In this thread General Knowledge questions will be asked and you, the people, must give answers. After this first question, the winner will be stated here and then will have to give a question; and so on and so forth. Please don't use the internet, cause where's the fun in that.

The author of the question has to tell people who guess whether they are correct or wrong.

Rules
1)If no-one gets the answer within 24 hours of it being posted then the person who set it must ask a new one.
2)If no new question is set within 5 hours someone else will have to set a new question.
3)If you find out the answer on the internet(i.e.Google,Wikipedia) then you can't enter.
4)If you answer a question, you will get a point, providing that you also set a question.
5)No points will be added to the setter's total if no-one answers their question (Because than you could just set a really hard question that no-one would get)

Hi SC, guess we're going to have to wait until after the Yuletide celebrations for WH to reply, but I think Arsenal may have played most at the old Wembley:-)

I don't know how many English Football Teams have played at the new Wembley, but i think Arsenal has played there the most.
Number of English teams, i'd guess 35

True...I was half preoccupied it being a trick question. Think my 28 is short of the mark anyway :s

England aren't a club, HM - but think you are right with Man U. It's all the play-offs, cup finals, semi-finals, league cup etc etc since 2007 - a lot to count:-)

I'd guess 28, and it would be England I guess?

If it were club football (not international), Manchester United. But certain England have played there more

Gah sorry people didn't even realise you had replied.

Errr....

How many English (male) football clubs have played at the new Wembley stadium in total. And who has played there the most times?

I do indeed pete - seeing as he was good enough to provide an answer then he has entered into the 'spirit' of the quiz :-)

Any question forthcoming WH?

Do you really expect him to get involved with a 'rival' quiz DL ? :)
