Our final destination is/was Blackburn Rovers.
Full marks this week to current leader, Lennie, Eppers and Maccy, while the rest of you all scored 3 on Wednesday.
Here's the latest table before I reveal the link and add the bonus points:
1. BBLW 21
2. Eppers 17
3. Maccy 15
4. Market Harborough 14
5. Archie 13
6. Hermann 10
7. Gazz 9
8= Ceefer 8

Can Lennie be caught on the bonus points? Let's find out....

As ever, I gave you all a subtle clue to the link at the very start of the quiz. At the time, the relevant clue was in italics, and a few of you spotted it (although not straight away), but for clarity I'll cut and paste the opening paragraphs of the quiz back in Week 1, and this time include the relevant section in bold as well as italics:
"Morning all
Ready to get back to some quizzing?
Sorry it has taken me so long to post. All your patience will be rewarded, however, particularly if you can decode my latest teaser!...."
Yes, the link was the postal codes between the five clubs, which means:
E, SE, LE, TF, and BB
can all be re-arranged to spell EBBSFLEET!
And, I can now reveal, only four of you managed to identify the link correctly, with the first of those (unsurprisingly bearing in mind his score), being Lennie, who is our overall Champion. Well played, Len, and congrats to Eppers and Maccy for their silver and bronze medals.
1. BBLW 31
2. Eppers 26
3. Maccy 23
4. Hermann 17
5. Market Harborough 14
6. Archie 13
7. Gazz 9
8= Ceefer 8
Downy 8
10. Steve61 1
Thanks everyone for playing. There will now be a one week break before the quiz resumes a week on Monday.
Sandy

Well played, lennie. It ebbed and flowed at the start, but in the end you were more fleet of foot in getting the link.
Thanks for the quiz, sandy - great fun, as usual.

Well thank you folks.
I obviously have more time on my hands to trawl the possibilities Sandy has left us.
Spotted the clue fairly early as well and hit on the link at a second attempt (I think).
Great game chaps, enjoyed that one. Nicely done Sandy.

I looked at postcodes early on and failed!
Must try harder
Well done to our worthy champion Lennie - well out in front!

A tad late in cottoning on, so well pleased to have got on the podium!
Well played, Eppers and, especially, Lennie - and thanks as ever to Sandy for keeping us quizzing.

Amazing performance, Lennie - totally dominant throughout!
Thanks to Sandy once again. These must take so much planning, I honestly don't know how you do it, mate!

Tried my best on quiz 106 but 2 weeks of 12 hour days (plus an unexpected/unwanted 14 hour shift) meant I was rather distracted.
Will pull it back next week!
