How many...

...grounds have you visited in the UK, both old and new?

Bored on nights and came across this website which maps out all of the grounds you have been to in the UK and tells how you many you have visited of the current 92, here's my one as of today:



So 22 visited in total and 17 of the current 92. The five that aren't currently in the 92 would be Wembley, The Dell, WHL, The Withdean and Upton Park.

Not very many at all and I'm hoping to add at least 4/5 this season with Wolves (hopefully) being the first in a couple of weeks. Should try and get up to the NE at some point really. Someone like Exeter in the cup would be good too. Found it interesting looking at it in map view and would be interested to see others if they took the time to do it.


Anyone on here done the whole 92, or at least have in the past and on a couple less now due to relegations etc.?

 

Loads off old grounds not even in the league now.

I'm gonna watch Sunderland v Scunthorpe later. But never seen their ground.

I reckon 30ish on current leagues

 

Have a look mate, it's quite interesting and dead easy to sign up for an account. Once you have it brings up a list of clubs and all the grounds they've played at and you simply tick the ones you have been to and then it produces the map and numbers for you.

I actually thought I had only done 16/17 so it shows how you can forget and might have done more than you think. Mine is 23 if we're including Europe and the San Siro too

 

Also gives you other stats too:



Would like to beat both westerly and northerly this season and also get over 50% of the (current) PL.

 

I was up to 71 of the current 92 before this season. Lost Barnet but I’ve been to Macclesfield so one in one out.

No idea when you include the old grounds and anyone who has dropped out the league.

 

Impressed as you’re only about 19.

 

Matthew went to the Old Trafford Megastore once.

 

The joys of going to a drab Midlands university and having friends who supported terrible lower league teams.

According to that app I’ve done 74 plus 8 old grounds.

And I’m 16.

 

Good effort that mate, makes mine look pretty poor comparison, though I've added one since i had forgotten about.

Do you know roughly who you are missing? Any you can tick off this season?

 

Saw Ian Botham play on Scunthorpe's old ground

 

Going to Swansea next month so that’ll be one.

Forest Green if I can really be arsed is only about 90 mins away but struggling to find someone sad enough to come with. Got a mate working in Liverpool so a few of us are planning to take in a Tranmere game next time we go up there. We’ll be playing Bristol Rovers next season so will tick that off.

The new Spurs ground I’ll do soon after it opens through work probably. Apart from that it’s basically Carlisle, Morecambe etc.

 

Bet you won't be going to the Hawthorne's again in a hurry...

 

Doubt we’ll be playing them for a while.

 

You think they'll go straight back up? Not many clubs do.

Or are you preparing for the worst? How long do you think the Wally With The Brolly will last?

Edit: just had a bit of a Google, and it looks like you can't buy any players in January, just got striped by FFP, and probably can't afford to sack your manager. Guess that's you ****ed then.

 

Neither would surprise me.

As much as yesterday was a disaster tactically and McClaren got just about everything wrong, it was also a lesson on FFP, which is intentionally or not going to create a closed shop. Worse still, it encourages clubs to throw money at quickly getting back rather than rebuilding sensibly by giving teams 3 years to get up and be out of the FL’s remit.

Brom had a £7m goalkeeper, a recent England left-back, two centre-halves on big money, two forwards who would get into half a dozen Prem teams and more. Gareth Barry on the bench earning **** knows what.

I’m not moaning, but there’s no way fifteen years ago a club could have held onto that calibre of player.

 

Surely the Baggies risk falling foul of FFP themselves if they are paying those sort of wages? And if they don't go up this season, they'll presumably have to have a clear out next summer.

Villa must be in a similar position?

 

About 60 in England and similar number abroad

 

Villa are in year three I believe so the final year of **** or bust. If you go back up quickly, you’re out of the FL’s remit (Bournemouth). Even if you don’t, the new rules aren’t as punitive, I believe, as the ones we broke and were judged against but since deemed unfit.

Villa also got lucky being bought out or Grealish and others would be gone.

Obviously there’s the risk that the parachute money runs out and you still have Jake Livermore in year four. No one wants that.

 

What's the website mate ?

 

It's in the op mate.
