I should know this one - there's not that many camps in Lancashire - 4,5 at best? - compared with the Midlands, a few in Cumbria, one on the IOM. There was one near Blackburn - 'Kuesen'-something? but that wasn't at the footie ground. I mind reading about one in the Fylde (Blackpool just a wild guess as there was a lot of RAF activity here in those days) Oldham was another Camp but again Sher didn't say where (roughly) the camp was situated - N S E W ? [I'm presuming he meant up the NW?] Just out of maliciousness I'd say PNE?

Right, there's nowt for it but to go through the list of teams down SW: Southampton Reading Brighton Ports the Bristols & Cheltenham are either too far north or east to be classed south-westso it's got to be one of - Yeovil Exeter Swindon - nah, they're too north like Bristol & Reading. Torquay Plymouth if you define "SW" as Cornwall & Devon....Take your Pick!

Yes, I know that we've had the question before - but nobody answered it, and I'm running out of suitable easy questions! We've not had question number 170 before, though.... the question prior to it was number 169, and the question after it will be number 171......
