If you want a tricky quiz to blow the new year cobwebs away then this it, I got a paltry 19/125, clearly my Lancashire knowledge isn't what it was
I've no doubt many of you guys will fare far better than my poor efforts.

I did tell you it was tough, especially if like me you don't live in the county these days. Local knowledge will be very helpful for this particular quiz, I'd leave it to people with specific detailed knowledge of the area, there's loads of places on this list I've never even heard of.

Colne scored higher than Nelson. That'll do for me.
31, I scored.

37. Annoyed at some of the lancs league teams I missed and the ones it didn’t take that I regard as separate communities but the quiz wrapped into larger neighbours. I’ll expand that when everybody has had a do.

Thanks, starting off afresh it’s exactly what I wanted to hear regarding the answers.
