HarryBosch Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 (edited) http://www.buzzfeed.com/jimwaterson/how-many-football-grounds-have-you-been-to#.rwpJG6a7m 49 for me (50 if you include Bristol Rovers who they need to add back in). What are the (your) rules? Does it have to have been to watch Latics? I think so. Do the clubs old grounds count? I think they should. Some of them I'm not even sure whether it's a "new" ground or the same one done up and/or renamed.... eg, is Hull's ground what was Boothferry Park? I don't know.... Same for Oxford...Millwall? Also, I've seen us play Bristol Rovers away at two different grounds. For some on here it might be three... Do friendlies count? I don't think they should. Or JPT games.

ShireBlue Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 I currently count grounds I've watched games at, both out of the 92 and non league, plus a few abroad. Currently on 80, only 22 of which in the 92, however that should be around the 30-mark by May. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankly Mr Shankly Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 (edited) 83 for me. 20 in the Prem (All of them) 24 in the Championship (All of them) 21 in League 1 (Haven't done Burton, Colchester and Fleetwood) 18 in League 2 (Haven't done Barnet, Crawley, Dag & Red, Morecambe, Newport, Stevenage and Wycombe) I can't see me completing the 92 as it were, I might do a couple of those mentioned but unless we need to win there to go up I haven't the slightest interest in going down to either Colchester or Stevenage. Edit: FL Trophy matches definitely count. As do friendlies. Unless you watched a car boot sale there, it counts.

JoeP Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Old grounds definitely count as it's the club we visit. There has to be some everlasting kudos for visiting ship-tips like Boothferry Park! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

longtimeblue Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Late 60s last time I did one of those things on Facebook. Fair few more with teams now non-league and FA Cup games. Was thinking today that I've probably been to Walsall 7 or 8 times now and I'm sure the bulk of them were either last or first game. Seems far more than any other club.

MAC0AFC Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 (edited) I can't even remember which grounds I've been to and which I haven't, from the top of my head and not really had a sit down to think about it... but if we don't get out of this godforsaken league I've got no chance as I've only ever watched latics in League 1, or Cup games... reckon I've been to about mid 20's league clubs which isn't bad I suppose considering my limitations.

philliggi Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Im on 72 For me its any competitive game while watching latics, be it an old ground or new. I only count the current 92, so i lost tranmere last season and stockport a few year back. i count city cos ive seen us play at maine road but not the ethiad although even if we had played them there i would still only count it as 1. I also count coventry as i have seen them play at northampton but not at the ricoh or highfield road. I have also seen latics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaticsPete Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 74 - doubt if I'll do the 92 for a while Many of the early ones dne courtesy of Yelloways and Barlows coaches Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UpTheLatics Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 38. For a 25-year old who has only known League One football, I'm pleasantly surprised. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SavageTheBeast Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 58 grounds 4 to do this year not bad since we've been in league one all my life Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midsblue Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Currently I've done 34 based on 29 in league plus 5 in non-league, which were in the league at the time. Also some now defunct grounds too. I'll probably add about 10 this season but as some said previously, I have no interest in attending some unless we are playing them. Most in the Prem I wouldn't part with £30+ per ticket to attend.

astottie Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Any ground where I've seen a competitive game for me who are part of the current 92, old or new grounds. Up to 60 currently but it was 68 bizarrely about 10 years ago. Think there are at least 8 grounds where I've seen latics in the league who are now non league Southport Halifax Alder shot Scarborough Grimsby Wrexham Macc Barrow Stockport Cambridge?

LaticsPete Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 Cambridge are in the League astottie and still at the same ground as when they first got in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joncurtis199 Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 (edited) The one I use is http://www.footballgroundmap.com/ Includes old grounds and foreign ones as well so a bigger area. Doesn't matter what game you go to as long as its a visit, after all there are very limited opportunites to see grounds if you are sticking to watching Oldham. I'm currently at 40. Going to be hard to see many new ones this year though. Burton being the only real new one. Been in this division so long and there hasn't been much new moving in...

astottie Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 Cambridge are in the League astottie and still at the same ground as when they first got in.That's why I put the? mark in. This 2 up 2 down malarkey in the fourth division just confuses me so I never know who's in it now. Went on a Tuesday night about 1992 league cup glen keeley in goal lost 2-1 if memory serves.

OAFCM35 Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 (edited) The one I use is http://www.footballgroundmap.com/ Aye that is the one I use, burton and millwall on my to do list for this season, south end as well but with it being a tuesday i might struggle , Diego how many away fans does the perrili hold? Burton is an absolte must for me Edited August 8, 2015 by OAFCM35 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forte_Baby Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 As long as you seen a club play once it classed as being part of the 92. Only new ground for me is Burton but having done there old one in the FA cup am still around the 74 mark. Got four with England also that I haven't done with Latics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boysinblue Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 Walsall today takes me back up to 37, as Tranmere was lost at the end of last season. Have eight grounds in the current League One left to do (Blackpool, Burton, Coventry, Crewe, Millwall, Peterborough, Southend and Wigan). For me it counts regardless of whether I saw Oldham play or not, but only three (Aston Villa, Chelsea and Manchester United) have been Latics free. And it doesn't matter whether it's league, cup, friendly or international. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omar Don't Scare Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 87 for me, 88 with Burton this season. All supporting OAFC in a competitive fixture, none of this counting friendlies rubbish when A & B trialist are representing the club. That will leave Morecambe Barnet Newport AFC Wimbledon (not counting their groundshare as they were the team that became MK) At 34 I'm quite happy with that, especially given there is 8 teams in the national league who can hopefully replace relegated teams from League 2, not to mention Stockport should they ever come back.

Lee Sinnott Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 (edited) I'm on 81. Not bad considering I'm only 26. Most have been done with Latics, but I've taken in games such as Morecambe v Port Vale, Sunderland v WBA, Boro v Plymouth and Birmingham v Boro. Watford, Palace, Newcastle, Fulham, Ipswich, Coventry, Shrewsbury, Fleetwood, Newport, Wimbledon and Barnet...

Omar Don't Scare Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 Personally, I don't bother worrying about the new ground. Done highbury but not Emirates etc. If I did I'd never get there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
