Celtic, rangers, hearts, east fife, stenhousemuir in Scotland, Nearly all of the league clubs over many years except of course some clubs that have moved to new grounds in the last decade, i have not been to the non league clubs who have come up like crawley, i don't go away so much now but will fit in about 3 away games where me and the wife make a long week-end of it. i have also been to about 10 foreign grounds in my life time....
went to see Gillingham v Walsall with my cousin just before we left on the boat for OZ. What was Fenerbahce like?
God i think we could all go on for ever here. but apart from many league grounds, have also done some of the more obscure fa cup ones. went to havent, histon, hayes, billericay, york. have enjoyed every ground i have been to, each one has its own charecter. My favourite is gillingham as i feel it was the start of our rise and promotion to the championship was a must. Mind you have a soft dpot for bury, seeing a ground three quarters full of swans fans. Willy being arrested. Each ground holds memories some good some bad. But i have always enjoyed them. even watching swans get beat at brentford on a tuesday night 4 1 with Tony Bird getting our goal.
Just checked my last back and didnt realise my spelling was so bad. Meant Havant and character. hopeless just hopeless.
Musty, I've done the tour at the Nou Camp and see a game. The tour takes you into the away dressing room, they won't allow you t go in the home room. The press rooms, they have two one for the General media etc and one for ONLY the Catalan media. You then do the trophy room and get you photo with the European Cup.
no aswan, i've not been to crawley town. to be honest i don't even remember playing them but i could be wrong. actually there are a few of the "new arrivals" to the league that i've not been to. but i do remember going to barnet and scarborough a long time ago.
Musty, not sure what the charge now, but is was very reasonable. Don't think it was more than 15 euros.
Went to the old olympic stadium in Barcelona to see Espanyol play Barcelona. my som was in his swans shirt. plenty of fans were saying to my son about his shirt and knowing the swans. The game was mad as were the crowd. Barce fans throwing flares. Espanyol fans invaded the pitch to try and get at them. Players off the pitch, police in riot gear. Game finished around midnight with Barcelona scoring an injury time pen. Crazy absolutely crazy. but AWSOME.
I liked the old Olympic stadium, watched Espanyol play against Valencia, the fans were NUTS!!! I do like Espanyol's new ground driven past there loads of times. As my head office is in a place called Sabadell about 45mins from Barcelona there all Barcelona fanatics, the head boss there has promised to take me next time I'm over there. Heres hoping!!
