This thread is where you can name the football grounds you have been too and they don't necessary have to be grounds you have been to for Gillingham Games only, they can be grounds you have gone to while supporting other teams, pre season friendlies, cup competitions, International Matches or even just a tour of a stadium they all count. I will start off by naming the grounds I have been too, this could take a while. Accrington Stanley - The Crown Ground AFC Wimbledon - Kingsmeadow AFC Bournemouth - Dean Court Aldershot Town - The EBB Stadium Ashford United - The Homelands Barnet - Underhill Bradford City - Valley Parade Brentford - Griffin Park Brighton & Hove Albion - The Amex Arena and Withdean Stadium Bristol City - Ashton Gate Bristol Rovers - The Memorial Stadium Bromley - Hayes Lane Burton Albion - The Pirelli Stadium Bury - Gigg Lane Carlisle United - Brunton Park Charlton Athletic - The Valley Cheltenham Town - Whaddon Road Chester City - The Exacta Stadium Chesterfield - The Proact Stadium and Saltergate Colchester United - Weston Homes Community Stadium Crawley Town - Broadfield Stadium Crewe Alexandra - Gresty Road Crystal Palace - Selhurst Park Dagenham & Redbridge - Victoria Road Dartford - Princes Park Darlington - The Darlo Arena Dover Athletic - The Crabble Ebbsfleet United - Stonebridge Road Exeter City - St James Park Faversham Town - Salters Lane Folkestone Invicta - Cheriton Road Fleetwood Town - Highbury Stadium Gillingham - Priestfield Stadium ( Of Course) Grimsby Town - Blundell Park Hereford United - Edgar Street Hollands & Blair - Star Meadow Sports Stadium Huddersfield Town - Galpharm Stadium Leeds United - Elland Road Leyton Orient - Brisbane Road Lincoln City - Sincil Bank Luton Town - Kenilworth Road Manchester United - Old Trafford ( But this was only a tour of the stadium, not to watch a game) Macclesfield Town - Moss Rose Millwall - The Den Milton Keynes Dons - stadium mk Morecambe - The Globe Arena and Christie Park Northampton Town - Sixfields Norwich City - Carrow Road Nottingham Forest - The City Ground Oldham Athletic - Boundary Park Oxford United - The Kassam Stadium Plymouth Argyle - Home Park Port Vale - Vale Park Preston North End - Deepdale Ramsgate - Southwood Stadium Rochdale - Spotland Rotherham United - The New York Stadium, Don Valley and Millmoor Scunthorpe United - Glanford Park Sittingbourne - Bourne Park (For The Concord Rangers V Gillingham Game) Shrewsbury Town - Greenhous Meadow Southampton - St Mary's Stadium Southend United - Roots Hall Stevenage - Broadhall Way Stockport County - Edgeley Park Swindon Town - The County Ground Tonbridge Angels - Longmead Stadium Torquay United - Plainmoor Tranmere Rovers - Prenton Park Walsall - The Bescot Stadium Watford - Vicarage Road Welling United - Park View Road Wolverhampton Wanderers - Molineux Wycombe Wanderers - Adams Park Yeovil Town - Huish Park York City - Bootham Crescent Wembley Stadium - for Gillingham's promotion into League One in 2009 and for Tunbridge Wells defeat in The FA Vase Final in 2013 I think that is every ground I have been to, although their might be 1-2 teams like Chester or Darlington who were in the league a few season's a go that I have forgotten to mention. Their will be some new stadiums I will be going to this season like London Road (Peterborough United) Meadow Lane (Notts County) and Bramall Lane (Sheffield United) - I am also disappointed that we never got to play Coventry City at The Rioch Arena earlier in the season as well.

HarryHeadButt - If you have been to Dundee United's ground then you should also include Dundee's stadium as well, both stadiums are that close to each other
There are some extremely impressive lists above. Mine will be a little more 'homely' I think. All to watch the Gills except where noted. Gills - Priestfield Stadium Colchester - Layer Road x many Southend - Roots Hall x many Brentford x many Wimbledon - Plough Lane Reading - Elm Park Millwall - The Old Den (very scary place back then) x 2 Watford Peterborough Oxford - Manor Ground x many Fulham Bristol Rovers Bristol City Bournemouth x many Swindon x many Portsmouth Crystal Palace - just the once Kettering (in the cup) Maidstone (cup) Derby - Baseball Ground Everton - Goodison (in the cup) Ipswich - Portman Road (in the cup) Man U - Old Trafford (v West Ham 70's) Arsenal - Highbury (v Liverpool & Man U) Spurs - White Hart Lane (v WBA when they were brilliant. Cyril Regis et al. score 3-5!!) West Ham - Upton Park (v Derby) Charlton - The Valley (when it had a 60k capacity and the huge side bank, saw Charlton v Hull) Rangers - went to Ibrox with a mate (v Dundee iirc) Valenciennes in France - on a school exchange. saw the local team play. dunno the stadium or opposition. Pretty decent tho. Plus in Australia - Suncorp Stadium (home of Brisbane Roar 53k capacity) The Gabba (saw some U21 World Cup games back in the 90's) Olympic Stadium (Oz All Stars v Man U) Actually total is 30+. I never realised I'd even been to that many. If I've missed any, I'll return and edit.
Far too many to list here, but for now, I'll give a mention to all the Kent non league grounds I've visited over the years... Current Kent Teams Ashford Town/United Beckenham Town Bromley Canterbury City (old Kingsmead Stadium) Chatham Town Corinthian Cray Wanderers (Oxford Road Ground) Crockenhill Dartford (old and new) Dover Athletic Ebbsfleet United Erith & Belvedere Faversham Town Fisher Folkestone Invicta Greenwich Borough Herne Bay Hythe Town Lordswood Maidstone (old and new) Margate Phoenix Sports Ramsgate Rochester United Sittingbourne Thamesmead Town Tonbridge Angels Tunbridge Wells VCD Athletic Welling United Whitstable Town Defunct Kent Teams Alma Swanley Danson Darenth Heathside Kent Police Met Police (Hayes) Sheppey United Slade Green Thames Polytechnic
Very true (add it to the list)...Dens Park & Tannadice are so close its not impossible to kick a ball from one pitch to the other on a windy day!! Bet derby days in Dundee were good fun. Could see them back next season.
Garry Richards would defiantly be able to kick a football from one ground to the other I don't know why they don't expand The Scottish League's to 20 clubs per division, surely that is what every team, player and supporter wants ???
No dont live up there. My mum is from Aberdeen so used to go and see my granparents twice a season always making sure I got to see 3 or 4 Dons games in. Dont go much now but the SPL gets pretty good coverage on tv at the moment. Monday will be the 5th time weve been on the box already this season. We have a certain Nicky Weaver on our books now having let Jason Brown go ! :-o Gills Comes first though .....STH for a number of years now Ps never want to go to Ibrox. Dons & Rangers dont get on! Haha
