Thread: Anybody here been to 92 League Grounds ?

    Anybody here been to 92 League Grounds ?

    For me , apart from loads of non league , European and old defunct leave grounds ,I think I’m on about 70 of the 92.

    I’ve been to a 4 aways this season however, this is the first season I’ve not been to a “new” ground.

    If we stay in the championship there is two new grounds left for me in the Championship.
    For anyone who has been to the 92, did you do them all with City, or did you ground hop?

    What the ground you have visited most, bizarrely mine is Huddersfield and Hull.

    Does anybody know if there is a 92 league ground app or something similar?

    Re: Anybody here been to 92 League Grounds ?

    I’m currently on 79, mainly missing the newer teams, such as Stevenage, Fleetwood, Morecombe etc. I’ve done around 105 grounds in total, if I include ex-league clubs & stadiums now longer used. I’m going to lose Oldham & Scunny but get back Stockport & one other, so will stay on 79 of next years 92.

    Grounds I’ve been to most, probably Palace, Burnley, West Brom, Reading, QPR, Preston, Birmingham also Huddersfield

    Nearest ground I’ve not been to Exeter

    There are 5 or 6 websites & the app is called The92

    Got me counting and I came up to 64.
    However, then had to discount 15 as they no longer exist/ no longer in the league.
    In all honesty not going to add many more to the list as the attraction of slogs up north no longer have any great appeal.
    In all my time the worst ground had to be The Shay that made Somerton Park look like the San Siro.
    The best is tricker and I cannot make up my mind but possibly the news Spurs stadium although this was a non City game.
    Most disappointing are either Old Trafford or Anfield as both a little shabby around the edges at the times of my visit although one has and continues to be overhauled and the other is being prepped for a major facelift.

    I have 70 as well though Oldham will drop off.

    Almost all with Cardiff though a couple, Newcastle and Newport were unconnected.

    Funnily enough the Newport game was when I stayed overnight after visiting my Mum in the Royal Gwent. It was £20 to get in but there was a Hospitality Package offer of a two course meal in the lounge and Stand seat for £30, which I took up.

    I was seated on a table of eight and the first guy I got chatting to was from Norwich. It turned out that Rodney Parade was the last ground on his 92. The compere became aware and he was introduced to the rest of the room to recognise his achievement.

    Reading, Watford, Palace and Fulham are the most frequent.

    Re: Anybody here been to 92 League Grounds ?

    I've done 89 with the city although some have long gone.
    Luton was a new 1 for me this season.
    I've done Forest Derby and Fulham all more than 10 times.
    My 1st away was Swindon boxing day 1975

    Off ‘League ground’ topic, after one game this season we met a Scottish non league ground hopper on the bus stop near the ground. He’d been to a local game on the Friday evening and was off to a Saturday evening Barry game, his intention was to catch a bus into town, then a train to Barry. We, obviously, advised him to cross the road and catch the Barry bound bus which he was grateful for. Wonder if he’s back in Scotland yet?

    Honestly how do people afford it every week

    Plus with our geography must cost a fortune in bus travel

    Have you used the Futbology app, it costs 99p a month and you can track all the games you've been to, as well as all grounds. It's amazing and a bit addictive as you want to keep adding grounds

    I’ve not had the pleasure of the Old Shay, or the new rebooted ground which apparently is fairly decent.

    Northampton Towns County ground was pretty poor from memory, as was Fellows Park and Newport

    Re: Anybody here been to 92 League Grounds ?

    I've never really been a big away traveller - maybe half a dozen games a season, but it seems to me that just as I start to make a bit of progress on the 92 (not that I'm anywhere near that) some club moves to a new ground, drops out of the League, or even disappears altogether. I think I'm in the low 30s, but might have to make a list, just to be sure.

    Re: Anybody here been to 92 League Grounds ?

    I'd like to think I'd have made it by now if I'd stayed in Wales. I was on about 50 when I left in 1992. I think since then I think I've only been to Stoke and Reading's new grounds and the CCS.

    I am sure the last time at the Shay Mike England scored.

    Re: Anybody here been to 92 League Grounds ?

    I just checked and I’ve been to more grounds in the National Leagues than I have grounds in League 2. A bit like NYC I left the UK, but I only left 12 years ago. Because of the fact we’ve been better in the last 25 years than we were in the previous 25 I don’t think I’d get the chance to increase my number of 53 to dramatically even if we lived back home

    Re: Anybody here been to 92 League Grounds ?

    77 in the current Football League, obviously, been to a few old and new grounds for various clubs. Only Luton I’ve not been to from the top two divisions, can’t understand that, we’ve played them a few times despite ours and their various promotions & relegations.

    Missing the league relative newcomers for obvious reasons but have only been to 8 National League grounds as well as 7 in the National League North and 1 in the National League South ( Barnet).

    We lost 1-4 at Hereford & We were 2-0 down at Hereford before I got in.

    Re: Anybody here been to 92 League Grounds ?

    I’ve been to 87 in total currently, not all with city. I’m missing Brentford’s new ground, Barrow, Stevenage, Hartlepool and Sutton.

    If Barrow and Stevenage get relegated and Stockport and Wrexham get promoted I’ll jump up to 89.

    Same here. I thought it was 3-1 away at Shrewsbury but my mind might be playing tricks. Have a vague recollection of Ron Healey throwing a ball to Pethard? at full back, it hitting him and the Shrewsbury forward scoring as a result.

    Have a more vivid recollection of arriving and seeing 50 City fans ruining a wedding at a church on the way to the ground as the bride and groom emerged. It's always a challenge to decide whether these were the good old days or not!

    I'd say about 5k at Swindon we had fans in all 4 sides of the ground
    Probably 3k at Hereford
    2k at Shrewsbury
    I was only 8 but hooked on football and cardiff city.
