Roger wilco.

My first is in Mother Love, but not Mustapha
My second in Killer Queen, and In the Lap of the Gods
My third is in Flash, that's all there is
My fourth is Dead On Time, running Headlong
My fifth was Made In Heaven, not on Khashoggi's Ship
My sixth is the Lily of the Valley, more than once
My seventh is in These Are the Days of Our Lives, but only once
My last saw One Vision and My Fairy King
My whole is the home of a monster; he's a hater of the mouse.

My first's in St Pancras, but not in Market Harborough
My second is not in Leicester but in Loughborough
My third is in Derby, Clay Cross and Chesterfield
It's not in Sheffield Midland but in Kirkgate (Wakefield)
My fourth is in Leeds not, in Bingley it resides
My fifth's not in Settle, but Blea Moor it climbs
The steep journey made we're on Ribblehead Viaduct
On six, for seven we meet the conductor
as we can look down the valley of Eden
We're in, likewise Westmorland (though not Kirkby Stephen)
Our eight at Langwathby, north of Culgaith
Our last's in Lazonby, Kirkoswald and Armathwaite
It's also right there in both Carlisle and Citadel
And now that we've finished I'm able to tell
The whole's further down the wall, since I'm the boss
Of this riddle, I'll tell you, it's north of Batty Moss

Good luck! :D

A trip around the UK's footy stadia...
My first is in Blundell Park, but not Inver Park
My second doesn't host Wolverhampton, nor the Argyle (but does see Pompey)
My third watches Brentford, Barnet, also Orient
My fourth avoids the Canaries and Manchester (all three of them)
My fifth sees Rangers, Celtic, but not Bournemouth
My sixth avoids those coming down from the Premiership, but seeks League One's winner
My seventh is Ipswich's home, also Gillingham's and Torquay's
Eight and nine are the same; they don't see Weymouth, but does see Walsall
My last completes the Black County Derby, and watches Accrington.

All clues are football stadia in England and Scotland. Where a town or city's name is given, I refer to the stadium of that place's main club(s), and where a team's name is given, I refer to its stadium.

And that meets the rules of the game in which way? How about you suggest a game to the quiz gurus and you can set whatever rules you want?

Nope. This is invalid.

Please edit your riddle. Why not just use the stadium names?

Sorry to keep you waiting (been away and haven't had the time), but I'm pretty sure that the answer is Upholland.
