26d) picture what a gambler might spend?

A day at the races?

It would help us if you could give us the letters you have already got for the other clues.

48ac Fauna (fawner - crawler) 26dn A Day At The Races (Marx Bros film). Sorry can't remember the others and haven't got a copy of it now, but hope that's helped a little.

8dn I believe was millennial

Actually might have been millennium!

Wow, you guys are quick! Thanks so far x

1d Quince?

Quince being a fruit and in A Midsummer Night's Dream in which Athenians have a role (I'm not well up enough to say any more).

The other one i think was Tartan Army

25 Tartan army
Bitter = Tart
Prepare to fight = arm
No matter what = any
TartAn armY

How about tartan army, for the sports fan clue?
