Your question mark was needed though, it's not the millennium.

 

I can't name many at all now, back in the 80s I could have named all football league grounds I think. I leafed through Rothman's yearbook many a time. My interest just moved on I guess.

 

The nostalgia list:
1.Aston Villa Villa Park
2 Barnsley Oakwell
3 Birmingham City St Andrews
4 Bolton Wanderers Burnden Park
5 Brentford Griffin Park
6 Bristol City Ashton Gate
7 Burton Albion Eton Park (I admit I had to look this one up!)
8 Cardiff City Ninian Park
9 Derby County The Baseball Ground
10 Fulham Craven Cottage
11 Hull City Fer Ark
12 Ipswich Town Portman Road
13 Leeds United Elland Road
14 Middlesbrough Ayresome Park
15 Millwall The Den (but a different one)
16 Norwich City Carrow Road
17 Nottingham Forest City Ground
18 Preston North End Deepdale
19 Queens Park Rangers Loftus Road
20 Reading Elm Park
21 Sheffield United Bramall Lane
22 Sheffield Wednesday Hillsborough
23 Sunderland Roker Park
24 Wolverhampton Wanderers Molineux

 

I got 22.
I forgot ****ing Carrow rd.
I knew it began with a c but every time I kept saying Canary
I thought Burton was Pirelli stadium.

It got the old brain box working though so thanks

 

So, Mr Bond, how many of those grounds have you been to?

I've done 23, inc our beloved Allam house..Only one missing is the obvious one.

 

Another book I remember was a little pocket sized one that had all the fixtures of the season.

 

Got all 24, gotta live up to the sad bastard reputation.


Also, what's with the tags?

 

It didn't say morbidly, I'm taking that as a compliment.

 

I've done 14 surprisingly. Especially for someone who isn't a I'll go anywhere at any cost, make any sacrifice type of supporter.

 

Not as many have changed name as I expected.

 

Same here, just Forest Green and Newport to do, although I've been to Somerton Park twice. We'll be visiting Newport on October 7th, and Forest Green the next time City have a Saturday or mid-week free.



The views expressed in my posts are not necessarily mine

 

I've only been to 3 on the nostalgia list - Hillsborough (a D1 fixture Wednesday vs Liverpool in around 1991), the Baseball ground a few times as a student there and Fer Ark.. It's poor considering i'm 45 years old but in my defence i've lived abroad for 20 years so have been to quite a few foreign grounds! in fact I might start a thread on this..

some of you will remember this

 

Bumhole Lane...from the Shoreham Street end

 

We should decide on a name for our stadium, before we end up like Stoke having to call it something **** like the bet365 Stadium.
Everybody should just call it The Circle.

 

a) The Hull City Tigers play-pen
b) Allam Field
c) Walton Street crèche

 

a or b for me obviously

 

On the topic of grounds visited I post this link in case anyone wants a Christmas gift idea...

He has drawn all grounds and for £25 it might interest some
