In 2024 I want to try and add at least a new ground a month. Has anyone got any tips on how to go about getting tickets for random games/grounds on a budget. Any websites out there that you know of?

Haven’t done any new grounds for a few seasons due to having a small boy , that said he’s been to one away game last year and loved it, so hoping to do a few more next season.
72 league grounds for me but these include the old brizzle rovers , somerton park, baseball ground etc
One gripe I’ve had though, went to Carlisle ( two coaches of lads ) was called off at 14.00Quote:

went to Goodison park to watch Everton v Man Utd the days you could pay at the turn stylesQuote:

Just thinking of some grounds where I've seen City which don't exist any more - County Ground, Northampton, Layer Rd Colchester, Somerton park, probably a few others. Awful decrepit grounds that felt a bit unsafe - but somehow it's not the same anymore!Quote:

I never got to the Baseball ground and i am gutted. Done Filbert street and Eastville though. Not done Carlisle either. But that could happen.Quote:

One I never got to was Southend
The County Ground Northampton on a Friday night
I’ve done the 4 of them. Brunton Park was over a Christmas time, took my boy up when he was a nipper. Queuing to get in on that grass bank when an old copper came up to us, took my lad’s hand and winked at me. Took him to the gate, knocked the door and took him in. They both waited on the other side of the turnstile for me. The old copper said ‘I wasn’t go to let you pay for your lad to get in after travelling all that way’. Lovely gesture.Quote:

After much angst and in fighting the ‘new’ bury are back playing at their beloved Gigg lane. Remember a mid week away at gigg lane. We lost 3-0, Berkeley had a fight at half time with their mascot and Spencer prior came over at full time and had ‘words’ with some of the fans. (Or again, was that all a dream……….)Quote:
