I have an audition this Sunday for a Quiz Show where each contestant gets to pick their own specialty topic. Mine is Hull City in the PL. I've been scratching around for good questions to practice with but can't find too many. If I make it to the final round on the show the questions can go quite deep to test your knowledge so I've been trying to find tough questions. Anyone dare come up with some questions for me to test myself against? I feel I'm weakest in the 08-10 era because I was still just a young 'un but in the quizzes I've found I've done ok.
I'll get you started: 1. What is the only team that Hull City have a 100% record against in the PL? 2. Who has made the most PL starts? 3. Who has made the most subsititute appearances?
Not questions as such, but check things like, on each year of promotion, who else was in the play offs, who did we replace (ie who was relegated from the Prem). On each relegation, who came down with us, and who came up to replace us. Stats like, which player had the most cards etc. who ran furthest, was subbed the most, played the most minutes could also be worth brushing up on. What about, which prem team have we played the most? (don't ask me, I haven't a clue) highest win, most goals scored...
Yeah trying to think whether they'll try and make the questions related to "bigger" teams to make it more relatable for the audience (e.g. Which PL player has scored the most goals against us [Rooney]; Which PL team defeated us on the final day of 09 despite us staying up [United] etc.) or whether they'll go deep into City to make me out to be a nerd (which I'm fine with haha). I actually had a look the other day, we have 3 wins against Sunderland 3 wins against Swansea so I think those are the two we have the best record against. Of current PL clubs I think United, Chelsea and Southampton are the only three we don't have a win against (I think? Or have we beaten Chelsea). I found a few online quizzes that are horribly out of date so been brushing up on PL goalscorers - most on here would be pleased to hear I genuinely forgot all about Bullard scoring 5 for us - and appearances. Should be a bit of fun! Hopefully running the Aus supporters group and a podcast etc. gives me a bit more credibility and interesting backstory to get me on. There's no cash prize so it'd just be for fun.
Geeze that first one's a good one, as a first guess I'd think of someone like Fulham but I know we drew against them in 2014, so it must be a one-season wonder that we haven't played more than a couple of times, so would it be someone like Wolves? PL starts would have to be Elmo? Sub appearances is a good one, I know Boyd had an abnormally large number in 13/14 but that was only one season, so could be someone like Fagan back in 08-10?
Isn't Boyd one of only a few players to be relegated from the Prem with two teams in the same season?
From which club did Aussie legend Richard Garcia join Hull City? If it wasn't the audition but the programme itself I bet the question compilers would want something about him.
Hard Quiz is brilliant - I hope you get on it! You'll definitely get the piss taken out of you for choosing Hull City as your specialist subject!!
