Probably (most likely) been other threads like it, but haven't seen any recently. How many grounds have you been to? We'll count teams within the current Football League (Prem - League Two) KC Stadium Wembley Old Trafford Emirates Stadium White Hart Lane Upton Park London Stadium Selhurst Park Britannia Loftus Road Vicarage Road King Power Stadium The Den The Valley Ashton Gate City Ground Kingsmeadow Brisbane Road Grand total of: 18 I assume most will beat that score All the old foxes Been a while since I lived in the UK now
I've seen City play a senior fixture at 131 away grounds and 2 home grounds. A powerful sign of madness.
please log in to view this image Now that's impressive My first City game was August 2011, 0-1 home against Palace Chester with the own goal. Not the most amazing game to begin with...gotta say. Forum legend Sir Cheshire Ben drove me there, side trivia Probably been to around 20-25 City games, mostly away Edit: My own sign of madness was perhaps spontanouesly heading down solo to Portugal for our pre season a couple of years ago, bewitnessed two 0-0 games against Sheff W and Braga.
My first City season was 1968/69 aged 14 and for a lot of those years since I went home and away and in all honesty I haven't a clue how many grounds i've done. Just realised writing this, next season will be my 50 years up of following City...........frightening where the years have gone.
A lot as I was a fanatic, the emphasis on was, today football doesn't stir the emotions that it once did. I look at the sanitised version of the game today when sometimes 10 passes are made before they even get out of the centre circle. I preferred the rough and tumble such as the likes of Keegan and Bremner battling it out in a Charity Shield match, such ferocity made for compelling games.
In fairness nearly all the guys I attend with most week have done more than me. In the last forty odd years you could feasibly have done 145 away and 2 home venues (from memory). And there’s another eleven (soon to be nine) current League venues that City has yet to play on.
About 70 of the current, plus the likes Maine Road, Ninian Park, Darksome Park, Layer Road...etc...etc...
Nah, 11 when the move was completed to KC. Had most likely in all honesty never heard of Hull City by that time. please log in to view this image
123 league grounds in this country, and another 14 from the likes of Darlington and Hartlepool who are now non-league. The views expressed in my posts are not necessarily mine.
Here's a few old grounds Old Wembley Baseball Ground Feethams Edgeley Park Highfield Road The Shay Ayresome Park Belle Vue Gigg Lane Spotlands Bootham Crescent The last ten were all league grounds when we played there . Loads of other current grounds in all four divisions.
This is a bit like when people say how many pints they had after being ****faced the night before. How do they know? Staggering around, we don't know how we got home, we don't know where the bruises came from. Can we really turn up for work the next day and say "Yeah well I had 14 pints last night?
