vendman Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 Sorry to cut across the thread, but Accrington was the first time I realised PD didn't have a plan B. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rudemedic Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 I wonder how many Gary (Museum de Latique) has been to Think the more pertinent question is how many has he not been to? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lalalajpkalala Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 I hadn't spotted Geoff for what seemed like years until Bury. I thought he might have packed the away days in. Always remember seeing him with Chub going back a bit. And as for him seeing us at Notts C most times (12) on one occasion I watched him serenade the booze cruise with a pretty dreadful rendition of Delilah on the karaoke in the Cattle Market shortly before kick off. I think it was the day Dowie's Latics battered them. Happy days and a good man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BP1960 Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 Been to some non league grounds watching the Latics, the first being an F.A. Cup 1st round match in 1960 at Rhyl.

longtimeblue Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 50 odd at the last count. Probably over 60 now as a fair few since. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyGortonsMatches Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 Notts Co 12 times? Remember going there 3 times in the same season and losing all without even scoring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stagger Lee Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 I would easily have clocked up 60 or so away grounds. Missing out on the 'newer' clubs like Crawley / MKD / Yeovil and due to moving to Australia during our Premiership days I missed out on a few big teams like Tottenham / Arsenal (and shamefully) Wembely.

rudemedic Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 56 (+ Newcastle for the kids). Some clubs got counted twice (as I've been to two grounds), some clubs had their old ground counted. Plus one or two for none Latics footy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't go to Ibiza, Anglo Italian (Despite Genoa being a proposed Birthday present) or even Isle of Man... A pre-season tour of Latvia would be an unfulfilled dream.

NewBlue Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 (edited) 15 grounds for me: Liverpool, Huddersfield, MK Dons, Notts County, Sheffield Wednesday, Portsmouth, Crewe, Doncaster, Scunthorpe, Tranmere, Everton, Bury, Forest, Preston, Orient. Been to 22 of the 92 football league stadiums as well and 48 grounds overall including non-league, not bad for a 17 year old I reckon. Best game I've been to has to be Forest. What an incredible match! Edited April 25, 2013 by NewBlue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
