grantroederdisaster 0 Posted January 9, 2012 I''m into my 100''s cause I went to away grounds from 59 cup run onwards and most of the grounds have changed 3 times over since then so I tend to count them more than once! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gingerpele 0 Posted January 9, 2012 I''ve seen Norwich play at two other grounds :( Portman Road, and Stamford Bridge... I''ve been to Wembley twice though, and also seen Chelsea play Spurs at Stamford Bridge.My Grandad''s never been on away games, and I just haven''t had the enthusiasm (or money as of late) to go on my own, or find anyone else to go with. Should really start trying to get to away games. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bill 1,788 Posted January 9, 2012 Tamworth is a collectors itemWondered what ground might be on '' death row'' ie about to be replacedThere does seem to have been a pause in new grounds recently, not sure if it is the financial climate - or just that those who were needing a new ground did so and most others are happy with their lotOnly one that springs to me is Oldham, whose ground sits on a large amount of open space and the talk at the last game we played there was that they were due to move down the hill to a new ground ......... at some point Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

......and Smith must score. 1,342 Posted January 10, 2012 I''ve probably done around 65 League grounds, old and new, and would probably have done a few more but kids got in the way [:)]Those grounds, apart from Exeter and Burton Albion, have all involved City as I''m not really interested in watching neutral matches. That does mean that unless I want to see us plummet back into the lower reaches of the League then, Emirates excepted, I''m unlikely to see many more anytime soon....

Ren 75 Posted January 10, 2012 I am on 82 of the current 92 and well over 110 in total with all the clubs moves. Around 75 with Norwich. I have been trying to finish this for the last few seasons since we were in L1 but it is a bit of a challange from Norwich. I have Oxford, Aldershot and Macclesfield lined up before the year is out which will get me to 85, then Ill see what the ups and downs bring, certainly hoping to do Rotherham (new) and Cheltenham early next season.
