Title: ??/92??
Post by: westcountry on Tuesday, January 5, 2010, 12:46:09
How many of the 92 Football League Grounds have each of you been to and watched a match?

Mines 37, with 32 of those watching Swindon. I was talking to someone from Calne about what Grounds he has been to, He only hasn't been to Morecambe and Burton Albian.  :eek:

Only current grounds count. Fact.

60. I went to the old grounds at Arsenal, Cardiff, Doncaster, Colchester and Shrewbury. But as I said, they are history.

19. Which quite surprised me seeing as I haven't been following Swindon/interested in football for very long.

A rather pitiful 17.

I did go to some old ones, Twerton Park, Elm Park and whatever Coventry used to play in.

Edit: he he, forgot that o*ford don't count  :-[

Only current grounds count, and you must have seen a football game there. Concerts dont count!

36 of current grounds.



Title: Re: ??/92??
Post by: Red Frog on Tuesday, January 5, 2010, 14:42:58
39, plus another 10 former grounds and 8 ex-FL. Not bad for someone who's lived out of the country for 25 years. :)


Title: Re: ??/92??
Post by: Sippo on Tuesday, January 5, 2010, 15:05:03
About 26 in this country. All with Swindon. Loads of old grounds/non-league grounds I've been to but they don't count.


Title: Re: ??/92??
Post by: blah blah on Tuesday, January 5, 2010, 15:16:32
Think its 29 in this country + another 6 old grounds and a couple of non-league.

Most of mine were in the Premier season and the seasons either side of it. Not because I'm a glory seeking part timer, but that was when I had a bit of money and no kids. Honest.


Title: Re: ??/92??
Post by: donkey on Tuesday, January 5, 2010, 15:34:32
65, plus the old grounds of Brighton, Bristol Rovers (Twerton), Arsenal, Man City, Millwall, Milton Keynes (for shame), Colchester, Reading, Rotherham, Shrewsbury, Bolton, Leicester, Doncaster, Coventry and Derby.  Also been to Kilmarnock, Histon, Moor Green, Wembly (old and new), Millenium and played at Leatherhead's ground (living the dream).


Title: Re: ??/92??

Title: Re: ??/92??
Post by: Peter Venkman on Tuesday, January 5, 2010, 18:28:39
66 of the current crop of grounds but if you are counting older grounds and ground of defunct (non league now) teams I think it nearer 79 or 80.

Most of the new ones I havent actually been to, back in 89 I had visited 75 of the 92 but lost interest in the 92 club.


Title: Re: ??/92??

I've been to 21 current and 8 old.

Funny thing, I made a list of all the grounds I've been to on my phone a while back and just realised that there was one I forgot to put down. No prizes for guessing which ground it was....

77. Of those 5 are no longer with us.

Had a look on my Facebook list last night and realised I'd greatly under estimated the amount of grounds I'd been to that were either no longer there, or that had fallen out of the League.

59 current league grounds visited.


Title: Re: ??/92??

54 current plus new Wembley - 9 old plus old Wembley

and a handful abroad !

It was once about 49 all supporting STFC but I expect it is now well down on that.

I think it was about 3 years ago when we played at Barnet that we became the only team in the Football League to have played at all the other 91 league grounds?

Just carry on supporting the Reds if you want to do the 92 grounds.


Title: Re: ??/92??
Post by: chalkies_shorts on Sunday, January 10, 2010, 00:10:16
47 current grounds - 17 old grounds plus a few of both old and new- the old and new Wembley. Plus I've been to a few shitty non league groundsl ike the old and new Scumholes, Newport, York, Cambridge etc. I'm not counting Wimbedons Plough Lane against the Franchise Scum.
