paddy Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 Found out the other day that my Preston supporting mate had been to exactly half of the grounds of the teams in the football league. So I decided to count up how many I've been to and think it's 10. Villa Park (Aston Villa) The Sty (Small Heath Aliance) Keepmoat Stadium (Doncaster Rovers) Ewood Park (Blackburn Rovers) Turf Moor (Burnley) Reebok Stadium (Bolton Wanderers) City of Manchester Stadium (Manchester City) Fratton Park (Portsmouth) Elland Road (Leeds United) Valley Parade (Bradford City) Others not included in the 92 would be: Wembley Millennium Stadium Doncaster's old ground (Belle Vue or something) Highfield Road (while it was still Coventry's ground obviously) And then a few abroad and a few non-league. I imagine that's at the lower end of the scale of you well travelled bunch. So how many have you been to (roughly if you don't remember). Edit: I realise that there's no option if you've been to a league ground that isn't VP and not any other. I imagine that's not many of you though....

slowandlow Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 about 45 but that would include a few that don't exist anymore like filbert street, highfield road, highbury etc etc opportunity to tick a couple more off next year with Blackpool and Newcastle (dunno why i have never been up there before) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paddy Posted May 30, 2010 Author Share Posted May 30, 2010 Newcastle (dunno why i have never been up there before) Because it's miles away and full of Scottish people? edit: Depending on where you live of course Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
