    Long story short, after a drunken conversation, I was looking to see which clubs had played against the least, and which the most different teams. I didn't find the answers, but did find this which had a few bits that surprised me.

    For anyone that fancies a challenge, before you click the link, it lists what I assume are the top ten clubs based on ground moves, although not all are in the top four divisions. The top two in the list are, so can you name them?

    On which away ground has Hull City played six different teams since 1904?

    To be fair, I think most clubs will have had several different teams to the one they fielded in the early 1900's. :emoticon-0147-emo:

    Knew QPR had played at the most. Also, after working with a Wednesday fanatic for years, about theirs.
    We have been fairly settled but that was due to being late arrivals, the early clubs had difficulty establishing somewhere to play.
    Looking at all the stadiums seeing Kingstonian mentioned I seem to recall reading once that they were the only club which has played in every FA Cup.

    Flipping that question around, which team have we played at the most different grounds? I reckon it might be Darlington:

    home: Anlaby Road, Boulevard, Fer Ark & The Circle (4)
    away: Feethams, Reynolds (or whatever its called) (2)
    neutral: Ayresome Park, Elland Road, Belle Vue (3)

    9 in total

    any advances

    We never played Darlington at The Circle, so it's only 8 for them (unless you are counting a wartime game, I usually exclude those).

    We've played Arsenal/Woolwich Arsenal on nine grounds:

    Home: Anlaby Road, Boothferry Park, KCOM Stadium
    Away: Manor Ground, Highbury, Emirates
    Neutral: Elland Road, Villa Park, Wembley

    When I said The Circle, I meant the KCOM (some of us codgers use that name). So it's 9, or, if we aren't counting wartime, 8 as that covers the Boulevard games.

    I'd forgotten about the Woolwich Arsenal days. 9 it is for them.

    You are right, apologies. City only ever played 4 senior fixtures at Boulevard, outside of wartime matches - against Manchester United, Clapton Orient and, weirdly, twice against Glossop.
