        Apologies for the obviously difficult clue. As is the way of these things when I put it together I thought it would be an easy one.

          Cheers.

          I was trying to shoehorn Hereford or Bradford into to clue.

            Just for clarity, Dartford FC's ground used to be Watling Street, and of course Dartford is the name of/location-of-one-end-of a famous crossing.

              I really should have had that. Especially as my first instinct was to try and cram Maidstone into it. I'm blaming lockdown.

                Aye, AH's was a fair clue.

                Last game I saw was at another Watling Street location. Atherstone, between Nuneaton and Tamworth

                  There could be a thread here. Welling United also play on Watling Street.

                    Fun trivia fact.

                    The A66 between Scotch Corner and Penrith is also know as "Watling Street"

                    (Particularly the bits where it follows the line of the old Roman road)

                                            OK.

                                            Why did that disappear for ten minutes?
