I'm on 32, I think. Don't really make a hobby out of it though.

I've given the season ticket a miss this year and am planning to go to more away games instead, which will bump it up.

Do we count based on current grounds or by club? The 92 club says current grounds but then most of them are anorak's.

I'm just a closet anorak.

Its a football match at a current FL or PL ground. Anything else is just cheating to make up numbers.

I stopped counting because I got bored of people talking about it, and fed up with fans who only turn up to do a new grounds.

Ive been to all of DRS list, apart from Rotherham. Went to Millmoor, but not been to Don Valley.

Spence,when will it dawn on you that not all football fans are fanatical,there are plenty of people who dont particularly like a certain team but enjoy going to football and different grounds and indeed places.

Im talking about people who havnt been down the County Ground for years, but who still seem to want to complete the 92 even though they arent actually interested in Swindon Town or even football anymore.

I didnt go to Dagenham this season because I couldnt be bothered to travel with some of them. Saw the writing on the wall in terms of getting beat as well.

Being a unashamed in yer face out of the closet super anorak, I prefer to talk about how many times Ive been to each ground.  ;)

Rotherham and Barnet are 2 I haven't been to. I don't know exactly how many I've been and I'm not particularly bothered about doing them all. I'll deffo do Torquay and Plymouth again next season and may do the choo choo to Barnet, but unless it's an important game, I can't see myself bothering with Rotherham.


Title: Re: Grounds Visited
Post by: Kinky Tom on Sunday, June 12, 2011, 17:24:27
face it the only reason town fans have been to so many grounds is that we've played in all divisions in the last couple of decades, if we hadn't had been relegated to L2 the last time I'd have had no reason whatsoever to go to Accrington.

doesn't bother me where it is, if i'm in the country and don't have to work on matchday i'll do my best to be there, that's been the case for a long time and the no. of grounds most have us have been to have been because swindon played there at some point.

the only ground i've been to and not seen swindon is coventry, both grounds incidentaly, once (highfield rd)  because our game was postponed and i fancied watching some football and it's less than an hour away and the 'Arena' because it was an under 21

Post by: jonny72 on Sunday, June 12, 2011, 19:01:14
The rules for that "92 club" are a bit extreme. If a club goes out of the FL and then back in, your previous visit doesn't count and you have to go again to maintain your "92" status. Don't give a fuck myself, I just count the number of grounds I've watched a football match at and don't give a toss what anyone else thinks.

Though I fancy having a go at hitting all 92 grounds in a single season sometime.


Title: Re: Grounds Visited

Actual, current football league grounds - 72.

Overall total including those which are now a Toys r Us, Cineworld, waste ground or teams which have dropped out of the league - 107.

That also (Gary) does not include the likes of Devizes, Melksham, Fairford Town etc, or Scottish and other European grounds, or kids' adventure play grounds ::)

Nope, I've knocked that off the 'current' list. It's now part of the 107 along with the Goldstone Ground.

I gave up on the 92 long ago. What with automatic promotion and relegation from and to the Conference and new grounds springing up all over the place.

I do have a rather more modest ambition now of doing all the Scottish grounds. I've done about 7 so far and there's only about 30 in total. So one say, who knows? Maybe, just maybe. Live the dream 8)

I want to do Pittodrie before they move. Shame their attendances have collapsed so badly in recent years, doubt it would be much of a spectacle even if I did make it. They had so many big games and big crowds at that ground in the 1980s.


Title: Re: Grounds Visited
Post by: OOH! SHAUN TAYLOR on Sunday, June 12, 2011, 21:10:30
Pittodrie's one of my favourite grounds. Four stands all built in different eras of the club's history. None of this modern identikit, don't know where the fuck you are rubbish. When you're at Pittodrie you know it. There is no mistaking it for anywhere else. The stand below (I think they call it the Richard Donald Stand) is absolutely fucking huge and dwarfs the rest of the ground. It looks like its a similar sort of height as the old Kippax Stand at Maine Road (which was about the height of a 6 story building) The crowds aren't so good these days but it's worth a visit though, as is Aberdeen itself (only problem is, it's full of Jocks ::))


You can see they do their best to get a bit of an atmosphere there...

For me its all about the 92 current league grounds.  Knocking Brighton, Stockport & Lincoln off my list now means I’ve done 62.

The majority of ones I haven’t done are up north which is a bit of a pisser.

If a fan goes to ten away matches in a season..and you go to none personally i would say the fan going to the away matches is a better fan than you.
Now thats not to say you know less,are less of a human being....just that you are less of a fan in my eyes,its not a sin of course and me telling you how i feel is not one upmanship,just a fact.

It isn't true. I'll leave my seat a couple of minutes into injury time, then stand at the steps in front of the second tier of the drs untill the full time whistle, so I can get a quicker getaway. If I wait till full time to leave it takes about 5 minutes to get out the ground.

Never missed the full time whistle at any game I went to last season 8)

Do we count based on current grounds or by club? The 92 club says current grounds but then most of them are anorak's.

I'm just a closet anorak.

Difficult to say. I like old-fashioned grounds that generate a good atmosphere, like Upton Park. I dislike anywhere where the facilities are rubbish (like many BSP grounds) or where you fear for your very well-being (like Millwall).

In terms of Oxford and Swindon, the official line, obviously, is that the County Ground is a skip good only for demolition, whereas the Kassam is a modern stadium with all necessary facilities. As it happens I think the CG at least has "character", something the Kassam is devoid of, along with decent acoustics and food that doesn't taste like cardboard.

Realistically, no. I loved the Manor and it holds LOADS of memories, but it was a sh*thole. The loos were inadequate and you could rarely get served food or drink at half-time. Some great days there, but we really had to move on. I just wish we'd moved somewhere with a bit of personality. (If an inanimate object can have personality).

Sadly there aren't many new grounds that have that. Perhaps the Reebok and the Galpharm are 2 which managed it but they are a bit 'older'. I hope if we move to a new stadium it might be a little different.

:7 year Bump:

Got a couple coming up soon I've not been to, Exeter and FGR (athough I did see us there in a pre-season friendly in the early 2000's I think).

Started going through the current 92.

I have now seen us play at 79 of the other 91 current 92, of those 79 I think there are 9 new grounds I am yet to go to, including Spurs.

The 12 I've not been to at all are:

Chelsea
Newcastle
Southampton
Cardiff
Derby
Swansea
Fleetwood
Rochdale
Exeter
FGR
Mansfield
Morecombe

Unfortunately I'll be in Spain for Morecombe away and will be back in France for Mansfield away.

There are around a dozen now in non-league I've been too also.

Going to be difficult to tick half of those non-visited grounds off any time soon.

This is despite living abroad for 6 months of the year for the last 13 years, despite it's limitations iFollow has been a godsend...

The season Southampton were down with us in L1 I was working in Mallorca for the summer, the Prem game was midweek, too far to go on a school night according to dad.

Can't remember why we didn't go to Stamford Bridge.

Upon checking to see when that was I came across this:

Sid NELSON became the 997th player to represent the Town in a League (not including playoff matches) match, when he made his debut in this competition against Crawley Town.

Whilst channel hopping yesterday, I alighted on highlights of Maidenhead v Maidstone.... noticed Shamir Mullings was playing for Maidstone, so watched a bit to see what we were missing from the summer trialist. 

Answer not a lot apart from a big lad up top, of which we still need one. However, I did like the atmosphere..... small compact ground, with some nearby housing, but plenty of trees and a busy railway.... I'm assuming it was Brunel's God's Wonderful, but never recall seeing the ground from a train. 

Whilst not wanting STFC in the Conference.... I reckon dedicating a bit of time to seeking out non league grounds could be decent fun....

Interesting, it used to be the Drill Field, Northwich, but that ended up under a housing estate a few years back now.

The CG, from 1896 has to be one of the older FL grounds continually used, apart from a stint as a PoW camp, but not a lot could be done about that.

Getting 5 away from home is a rare beast.  The only one I witnessed was the 5-2 win at the Hawthorns in 1994/5 when Peter Thorne got 3.  Apart from that, I think there's only been the 5 at Dartford last year in the FA Cup and then 5-2 at Stockport in 2002/3; 5-3 at Tranmere in 1968/9; and 5-1 at Mansfield in 1965/6.
