For a tad bit of fun before the big game... 92 football league clubs currently... How many of them have you visited and which ones? Since i can't remember all their names of the grounds ill list the teams instead newcastle man utd man city brentford sunderland hull city (still counts) york city oxford united gillingham barnsley leeds united southampton blackburn nottingham forest bradford city reading west ham stoke crystal palace middlesbrough derby burnley sheff wed ipswich blackpool huddersfield doncaster (old one tho, but **** it im counting it walsall tranmere yeovil coventry carlisle hartlepool bury chesterfield rotheram Is mine i believe
Man U (not for a City game) Tottenham WBA (not for a City game) Swansea (old ground) Fulham Southampton Norwich Sunderland Wigan QPR Reading Cardiff (old ground) Hull City Watford Palace Brighton (Withdean, the Friday night before Xmas that year) Leicester Derby Burnley Birmingham Sheff Wed Millwall Leeds Blackpool Barnsley Wolves Huddersfield Doncaster (old ground) Bournemouth Brentford Yeovil Tranmere Walsall MK Dons (Hockey ground) Orient Crewe Coventry Preston Colchester (old ground) Oldham Scunthorpe Bradford Chesterfield (old ground) Southend Plymouth Torquay plus a lot that are no longer in the league, Stockport, Kidderminster, Cambridge U, Boston, etc NB: Some of them might not be in their new grounds yet, eg Colchester, I just remember announcements being made and me thinking "there goes another one from the list". EDIT: Just seen the OP had included us, so added to my list as well.
I counted mine up the other week: 49 current grounds of the current 92 16 former grounds of the current 92 (Boothferry Park etc) 11 grounds that were league grounds at the time (Mansfield, Grimsby etc)
I've been to almost all of them in the league and a fair few in the Conference. Curiosity fact .... I've seen City play Chester at Sealand Road, The Deva Stadium and at Maccs ground when they were ground sharing. I've seen City play Bristol Rovers at Eastville, Twerton Park and Memorial Ground I've seen City play Brighton at the Goldstone, Preistfield and the Amex. I've seen City play L**ds, and Rochdale and Blyth (not all at the same time) at Elland Road.
Good work! But you missed out on the Withdean. I'll have all four when I get the Amex in - I was abroad in Feb when City were there. Those late-season draws at Priestfield in the sun were great days out at the end of crappy seasons.
including conference and beyond i've visited mansfield kidderminster boston ( do they exist?) halifax grimsby luton and lincoln
Your idea of the 92 is quite odd, have you even given a ground/team that counts yet. EDIT: I'm working on the basis that those grounds in the post you quoted were done whilst clubs were in the 92.
None, sadly. As I've lived in Texas or Missouri all my life. But I hope to see a match at the KC Stadium some day, perhaps next season (in a 1-nil win over ManU . . ha ha). I've only been to 3 MLS grounds.
KC Stadium*9-10 Ashton Gate Pride Park The Valley Vicarage Road City Ground King Power Stadium*2 Old Trafford Upton Park Britannia Stadium Craven Cottage Total: 11 All during my team in glorious Stoke

Well, you can join me as I have never been to any of the current 92 either. Have visited Hull 3 times and on my last visit in 2010 had a ticket for the KC for a Hull FC game but a bout of food poisoning intervened! Next visit scheduled for 2015 so will try again! Note you live close to Fort Worth. I have a cousin who has a farm near there.
Of this seasons 92 clubs i have still to do 8 clubs but 14 grounds. (ie. have done the old Swansea-Vetch and Oxford-Manor grounds but not the new ones and i have some others also like that to do)
