OK! I'll ask a question and if you get it right then you ask the next question.
Name the only 2 teams that have 3 sided grounds in the football league.

There was a triangle of three teams last season Oldham, Bournemouth & Oxford with 3 sides to the ground.
However, NW says there are two this season which means either Bournemouth or Oxford have put seats or terracing behind the goal (Oldham don't have the cash).
I will guess Oldham & Oxford.

Nearly 2 months have gone since the question was asked & still we wait in anticipation or perhaps he has forgotten the answer.

If this goes on much longer there will not be any clubs left with three sides to their ground.
Now I get it, he is waiting for these clubs to fill the sides in before he replies.

I would go with Bournemouth and Oxford.
NW is online so I am hoping to entice him into the thread
Will we be graced by an appearance and, dare I say it, an answer?

I had a feeling that Bournemouth had put some terracing behind that open end but I might be wrong.
Anyway, I doubt we will ever find out.

At last the master has spoken
Forgot all about Aldershot & I have actually been there to watch a game against Wrexham about 40 odd years ago.
Was it ONS who mentioned Oldham? They currently have only 3 sides because at some point they are building a new stand.

Well if everyone doesn't mind I would like to post the next question.
There are 23 different last names for a team out of the 92 in England (e.g. City, United). Name them....

I'll give it a go:
 1. United 9. North End
2. City 10. Wednesday
3. Wanderers 11. Albion
4. Rovers 12. Town
5. Rangers 13. Hotspur
6. Forest 14. Villa
7. Athletic 15. Orient
8. County 16. Stanley
I've put it in a spoiler so anyone else can have a go if they like. Not that i've managed to get them all, only got 16, i reckon i've got a lot of the obvious ones but must have missed a lot. Anyone feel free to try complete my list.

I'll put mine in spoilers as well.

1. United
2. City
3. Rovers
4. Dons
5. Town
6. County
7. Athletic
8. Hotspurs
9. Wanderers
10. Forest
11. Stanley
12. Rangers
13. Palace
14. Wednesday
15. Alexandra
16. Argyle
17. North End
18. Albion
Orient (Leyton Orient)
Villa (Aston Villa)
Borough (Stevenage Borough)
Vale (Port Vale)
18 I'm sure of, the other 4 I'm not sure they count either because they're part of the club's name as opposed to a suffix or in the case of Stevenage I don't think it's part of their name any more. I refuse to believe there's any more unless "football club" counts as one
Edit: wait, you said England, not the football league. So Borough is definitely one (Eastbourne Borough), (Kidderminster) Harriers, (Vauxhall) Motors, (Rushden and) Diamonds and (Northwich) Victoria. That's unless you actually meant football league.
