So just to clarify the map element we are down to -
Belgium, Bosnia, Croatia, Denmark, Faroes, France, Germany, Iceland, Ireland & Italy
This ignores other non-georgraphical factors in the above questions.
Does the country begin with B-F?
Yep

Does the club name begin with letters A-L?
Early guess as I will probably be on my way back from Wales when it's shots in!
G: Slaven Belupo, first Croatian team to compete in European club competition via the Intertoto Cup Club name does begin with one of A-L.... so not Slaven Belupo Just for clarification Paul - would you include initials as part of name eg AS Roma under A rather than R for Roma?
Fair point, Paddy. I think some initials are more widely used for some clubs than others so I'm going with the first letter of the club's name as it appears on Wikipedia. As a freebie, I don't think this is an issue for the club I'm seeking (....though I stand to be corrected on that) but, as I say, refer to wiki before guessing if in doubt.

G) Aalborg BK or alternative name AaB
On the basis that if you ground hopped all the european club grounds alphabetically A-Z this would probably be the first club/ground you would visit

Q: Have you chosen this club - at least partially - because it holds some sort of record?
By the way... In Swedish it's "Ålborg", not Aalborg, and "Å" comes after "Z".

Quiz night and I don't reckon this will still be "live" when I fall through the door later so the early guess is :
Club Brugge (FC Bruges). Most consecutive appearances in UEFA Cup

Oh, I see the basis for another ambiguity entry here . In Danish Å and Aa is the same letter and the last letter in the alphabet. It is pronounced roughly like the vowel sound in "oh". The "Å" was introduced in 1948 but many cities and towns retain the old spelling. I was once searching for a word starting with IJ in a Dutch dictionary. IJ is listed together with Y. In Icelandic Th is only one letter and Yu in Russian I believe. Many others I don't know or remember. Good that IJsselmeervogels and Throttur aren't the answer.
True - but I'll keep them in mind as guesses for when you're next Quizmaster

T'pau, Pat - the country does not begin with either B or F.
Any guesses yet?

I'll try Dinamo Zagreb - Dinamo has spent its entire existence playing in the top flight.

Seeing as I've had the okay from mip that Aarhus Gymnastikforening does not begin with Å - I'm going there. AGF? No idea why though...

It's actually less than that John. Not saying how many though, but the UEFA qualification and sub-300,000 population clears a couple off.

Had not yet factored those elements in
Populations are always a moot point
Big debate about Istanbul in a quiz recently
Depended what area was included
