Cryptic clues = station name

[johnnychips]

Deleted sorry!

 

[RobertsN]

Floundering in the dark -- and almost sure this can't be right -- but; Commondale??

Sorry not that either.

 

[RobertsN]

Deleted sorry!

No, not that one either

 

[perryman]

Something to do with a grazing in a field, so without relevance to the rest of the clue other than an animal which grazes in a field, and part of the answer being phonetically based, I give you:

'Uddersfield.

 

[RobertsN]

Nice one, but wrong. Though don't forget the hungry livestock. "udders" will only nourish the young one...

 

[RobertsN]

Your "field" idea is right though...

 

[Y Ddraig Coch]

Freshfield? If they are hungry and need a new fresh field?

 

[RobertsN]

Not Freshfield I'm afraid.

 

[John Griffiths]

A great haul of grass at Meadowhall?

 

[RobertsN]

A great haul of grass at Meadowhall?

Sorry neither is it that one.

Just imagine a bunch of dark coloured animals chanting (in 4:4 time): "We want ..... ....., We want ..... ....."
BTW, the station is actually a single word but could easily be cut in two.

 

[perryman]

Moorfields.

I'm running out of fields.

 

[RobertsN]

Moorfields.

I'm running out of fields.

SPOT ON!!!

Moor ("more") fields. Hence the additional hints to dark animals.

Your floor.

 

[perryman]

Phew.

As I'm a bit out of touch with ready-made clues so I'll work on some with the ridiculous assumption that I'll get another answer right. In the meantime, let's have an open floor.

Scrap the above, sorry, I've just thought of one (if it's not too late. If so, I'll retract my clue):


There's no buzz about these thick cut chips

 

[John Griffiths]

Humphrey Park? (Hum-free)

 

[perryman]

Not Humphrey Park although your breakdown isn't a million miles away from the answer (but no link to Humphrey or Park).

 

[perryman]

Clue 1: There's no buzz about these thick cut chips.
Clue 2: You would alight at this station to see sporting royalty.

 

[444045]

Ascot ?

 

[RobertsN]

I'll go with Dumfries (sort-of "dumb" fries)

As to clue 2, I believe the football team is called the "Queen of the South".

 

[perryman]

I'll go with Dumfries (sort-of "dumb" fries)

As to clue 2, I believe the football team is called the "Queen of the South".

And we have a winner, congratulations.

The 'no buzz' implies the removal of the letter 'b' from 'dumb', and the 'fries' are obvious. Yes, Dumfries is home to Queen Of The South.

3 points for you, and your turn to try for a clean sheet.

 

[RobertsN]

The reverse of scorched earth?

 

[plymothian]

Leyland?

 

[RobertsN]

Leyland?

No Leyland, sorry.

 

[John Griffiths]

Whitland?

 

[RobertsN]

Whitland?

Sorry, it isn't Whitland either.

 

[d9009alycidon]

Burntisland?

 

[RobertsN]

Burntisland?

Land-is-burnt (the "reversal"). Well done.

Your floor.

 

[d9009alycidon]

Thanks - Throw this one open if you done mind

 

[RobertsN]

Open floor ladies and gents (although @d9009alycidon ) you can do so as well.

 

[444045]

This cemetery can't go any further than this !

 

[Strat-tastic]

Gravesend.
