    I played and scored at Deepdale.

    I've been to about 35 grounds but many of them including Roker Park, Burnden Park an Springfield Park don't exist any more. Others like the Shay and Edgeley Park aren't in the league any more.

    Just checked a few more old terraces I've stood on with City all gone now, Northampton, Bristol Rovers and Chesterfield all moved grounds, not been to any of their new ones, saw City promoted at Chester and Walsall, they've both closed! Wimbledon Plough Lane, gone, Rotherham Millmoor, gone, and not forgetting the old Wembley, not with City, 4 times at the new one mind, nice.

    Been to these that have gone ....Manor Ground, Old Show Ground, Belle Vue, Roker Park, Goldstone Ground, The Dell, Millmoor, Layer Rd, Burnden Park, Maine Rd, Highbury, Saltergate, Springfield Park, Feethams, Sealand Rd, Leeds Rd, Victoria Ground, Nene Park, Baseball Ground, Ayresome Park, Highfield Road, Gay Meadow and, of course, Boothferry Park, and Griffin Park that's going.

    Some great memories going back to Ayresome Park in the 1960s but I doubt I'll ever step foot in a ground again.

    I've been to a lot of those as well. Nobody seems to have mentioned Sincil Bank. Some of the grounds are still there but have changed out of all recognition like Bramall Lane that still had the cricket pitch and pavilion when I first went. Bloomfield Road is similar. I hardly recognise it now. When I first went to Bury they had a 'Boys Stand' in one corner. It was wooden and shook precariously when people jumped up and down. I was glad it was a 0-0 draw that day as I don't think the stand would have survived a goal celebration.

    Using current league tables to help me, my list is below, don't know how many I've been to till I type it.
    Typing teams is quicker than grounds too....
    All matches v Hull City AFC in various divisions....

    Man City, Man Utd, Liverpool, Tottenham, Arsenal, Burnley, Leicester, Newcastle, Bournemouth, Huddersfield, Stoke, WBA.

    Fulham, Villa, Derby, Sheff Weds, Reading, Birmingham, Barnsley, Bolton, Sunderland.

    Wigan, Rotherham, Scunthorpe, Plymouth, Peterborough, Portsmouth, Bradford, Blackpool, Bristol Rovers, Oxford, Doncaster, Walsall, Rochdale, Bury.

    Luton, Exeter, Lincoln, Mansfield, Port Valve.

    Macclesfield, Leyton Orient, Hartlepool, Torquay United, Chester.

    Stockport County, Boston United, York City, Darlington, North Ferriby United.

    Runcorn.

    Wembley.

    Craven Park (v Nantes)

    So I make it 53 unless I've missed some obscure cup games, or teams that have dropped lower than National North/South.........:emoticon-0112-wonde
