Rarely get to add new grounds these days obviously, unless we play them in cups or friendlies. Lincoln last year was a rare new one which took me to 109, but it looks like I won't be able to do Northampton so I'll have to wait until they're taken over by a billionaire and rise through the leagues. Or Wednesday get relegated again, whichever comes first... If we're doing that way we ought to count those who have had 2 grounds like Derby and Middlesbrough. Wimbledon/Mk Dons have had 3 I've been too, Plough Lane, Hockey stadium and now stadium Mk. Must be well over a hundred counting that way for me.

Or Wednesday get relegated again, whichever comes first... Yes I've done 82 League or ex League clubs at any of their grounds (2 or even 3 grounds in Rotherhams case). Also done some non league, Scottish, European (both of em those were the days!!) and Wembley and Millennium. I think I'm on 102 grounds altogether, all except Lens (which was with England Euro16) watching Wednesday. As others have said the more you visit the harder it gets, I've done all the top 2 tier clubs (though not all the new grounds) so only get to add them when we visit in Cups or friendlies. Only Lincoln last season and hopefully Northampton this season been added in the last 3 years. Was gutted I couldn't get a ticket for Shrewsbury the other year as I've never been there either.

Yeah, I absolutely count them, a different ground is a different ground. I only count two grounds for Wimbledon/MK as I never went to Plough Lane but saw us play Wimbledon at Selhurst Park but I already have that for seeing us play Palace so don't count it twice, but I went to the MK Hockey Stadium and the new one. Also seen us play Rotherham at Millmoor, the new one and Don Valley so that's a treble as well - also Hull at both their grounds and our only trip so far to New Wembley..

Wembley should only count once. Im not see about the new White Hart Lane as its not exactly on the same land as the old one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got chalked off once. Was yours expensive? Funnily enough, she did wear kinky boots, which I hadn't asked for, but the chalk was the proper green stuff they used to use at the Crucible, so I just let her get on with it.

If your house gets demolished and you build a new home with a different design on the same land that doesn't make it the same house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you knock it down bit by bit and rebuild bit by bit so that eventually you have a completely new ground but built in stages, then using the same logic you should count, for example, Stamford Bridge 1970/80s and 2019 as two separate grounds. Indeed, you could argue that Hillsborough pre-1960s is a different ground to today. But I agree, count them how you like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I count seeing Wednesday at either Southampton ground for example, as having been to Southampton and not 2 different grounds.

Having watched us play Palace, Charlton and Wimbledon at Selhurst Park, can I count it as 3 grounds? It really doesn't matter, you can apply whichever "rules" you like! I've seen us play at Selhurst Park against Palace and Wimbledon (I was one of the hardy 3,121 for a midweek PL game!) but I only count the ground once. Personally I like to count the number of different "unique" grounds that I've seen Wednesday play on, which is 109 - but that only includes 88 different clubs (I know this because I have a list to keep track!). And a fair few of those clubs are now non-league but weren't when I saw us play there (e.g Torquay, Wrexham, and 2 different Chesterfield grounds) or were non-league then and still are now (e.g. Southport, Worksop). I've been to 81 of the current 92 league club's grounds watching us - although there are 4 clubs in the Premier League where I've only been to their old grounds and not their new ones.

alanharper Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 I didn't start going to away games regularly until 1990, I'd only been to 4 before then (with 2 of them being FA Cup semis), but I'm still annoyed that I never actually went to the Baseball Ground. Closest I came was going for FA Cup quarter final tickets in 1993 only for them to sell out whilst I was still queueing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's plenty of non league grounds I've seen us play at as well, some have not been in league (Alfreton) and some for a very long time like Southport and Darlington. Seen us a few times in Scotland, both Glasgow clubs, both Dundee clubs and Killmarnock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With you, it is funny that out of the 25 clubs you've named plus Wimbledon (or Mk) you could go to 54 different grounds for only 26 clubs. 20 years since I could name every ground in the League, now with all the new grounds and promoted ex non league clubs (not to mention the annoying new silly names) I don't think I would be anywhere near now.

Inspector Lestrade Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 My rules are if you visit a ground to watch SWFC you can claim it. You have spent time and money so your entitled to brag about it. That's includes clubs who have had more than one ground. I'm the flipping Daddy!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
