Welcome back quizlings!
I had planned for this quiz to feature around Easter time as it is, in fact, a treasure hunt, but my holiday got in the way. So, slightly belatedly, here's Quiz No.63!
As with some of the previous treasure hunts, I'm going to give you clues to a series of football clubs up and down the country and, when you re-arrange the postal areas from all the addresses (e.g. Edgeley Park would be 'SK'), they should direct you to where I've hidden the bonus points!
There are, however, two twists this time.
Firstly, I'm only going to give you directions to each club, starting from Sandbach Towers in Week 1 (and then from club to club) and not a clue about the club itself, so you'll need to have at least a basic knowledge of UK geography and roads (or be able to use the internet at least!).
Secondly, I'm not going to tell you how many weeks the quiz is running for, so all you smartarses who have previously worked out how many letters will be required for the bonus points and narrowed down the final ground will find it harder this time!
Usual rules apply - 5 points on Monday, 4 on Tuesday and so on, and the first person to find the bonus points can have 10 of them, then 9 and so on until they've all gone. I'm not revealing how many bonus points everyone has until the end of the quiz!
All answers via PM or e-mail to sandbachhatter@hotmail.co.uk please.
Right... engines running... and they're off!

Clue 1
Heading out of Sandbach Towers, I joined the M6 Northbound.

NB:
I've been asked for some clarification. Please note the following:
1. The clubs I have visited are from the top 4 divisions only
2. I have not doubled-back on myself or taken stupid routes just to throw you off the scent. So, for example, if I'm now going Northbound on the M6, you can be sure that the team I end up at will not be south of Sandbach!
Any other questions, feel free to ask!

Further clarification - for the bonus points I'm looking for a ground name, not the name of the team.
Ta.

That's right, I first went to Middlesbrough's Riverside Stadium!
A tough opening week, but a few of you got lucky on Tuesday for 4 points. Still early doors though (or is it?!). Here's the table at the end of Week 1:
1= Archie 4
Epworth 4
Hatter in Macc 4
4= Caliiope 2
Market Harborough 2
Sir Roger 2
7= Bradninch 1
BBLW 1
Down Under 1
Gazza 1
Shropshire 1
Remember, you can have one guess each day at the bonus points too, and you now have the postal code TS to help you!
See you Monday for Week 2.
Thanks for playing

I think a few others obviously over thought this along with me.
I suspected Sandy of back-tracking and then of being obvious and finished up at Hartlepool on Thursday having waved to Middlesbrough on the way through.
Nice one, all to play for hopefully.

On my imaginary journey, I got lost early on and sadly, broke down between Yarm and Thornbury. The imaginary AA Man came out within the promised hour, which belatedly, enabled me to carry on to Middlesbrough.
