How many grounds?

[Basing Blade]

We must be some of the most travelled footy fans (within the English Leagues), so, how many grounds have you seen the Blades at, including defunct ones? Me, just a modest 20 so far. The first one was Rotherham's Millmoor in about 1979, the last one Bury this season. THIS IS NOT A BIGGEST BLADE CONTEST.

Most of the grounds I went to when younger have been replaced

 

[Ndlovu Blade]

I'm on 38 so far

Good website if you can't remember them all (have to sign up though) https://www.footballgroundmap.com/

 

[COME BACK CHED]

Rovrum and Wombles x3 to start with .

 

[Rusty view]

67 (if I can count when Wimbledon played in MK Hockey Stadium, before being rebranded MK Plastics)

 

[Sharrowblade]

The little un's (12 and 13) will be on 56 (of the current 92) after Bristol Rovers a week on Tuesday.

In addition the youngest has had the good fortune to actually play on Bramall Lane, Bell-end Road, the City Ground and Wembley Stadium.

 

[Houston_Blade]

53, some of which are duplicates where new grounds have been opened.

Blimey that's a tough question.

Will take me ages to work it out but I would think around 70

 

[Ricky]

80.

Quite Bladeiferous me.

Don't worry mate, if you want a nostalgic feeling, and want to revisit the grounds of yesteryear, just go to Barnsley, brings back the thrill of poor sanitation, toothless yokels operating the original 1925 turnstyles and people arriving at the ground by horse and cart.

 

[Basing Blade]

Defunct ones Plough Lane, Readings old one. Millmoor. Highbury. Upton Park and Hillsborough.

 

[SHOREHAMST.com]

87 of current 92, all watching United. Missing Newport, Barnet, Accrington, Brighton and West Ham (did Withdean and Upton Park but since moved).

Doubt I'll ever complete it - they're building new grounds quicker than I can tick them off.

Total amount I'm not sure need to have a count, but one things for certain I'll have forgot some!

Which ones are you still to visit?

Adds a little extra excitement to a cup draw I suppose.

 

[Ricky]

Which ones are you still to visit?

Bournemouth
Sunderland

Brighton

Fleetwood
Bristol Rovers
Southend
Northampton
Wimbledon
Oxford

Then 11 in League Two.

I've included every ground including duplicates and non league grounds.

 

[S64 Blade]

I'm on about 64 of the current 92. Missing a few in this league and obviously most in the League Two. Then it is mainly the newer grounds in the top two leagues - Cardiff, Brighton etc. that I need to do.

 

[Blade for Sale]

16 for me. I'm a terrible Blade and will willingly wash and anoint the feet of anyone who's been to 50+.

 

[Paisley Blade]

54 out of current 92 , plus 16 defunct ones. Was planning on adding Bristol Rovers in a few weeks but Valentines Day hotel pricing has kiboshed that ... Oxford will make it 55 on March 7 and then fingers crossed MK will be 56 dressed as a banana or similar.....

Brucie bonus pre season grounds - Morton, Raith , Kilmarnock and East Fife, the dream would be a game at St Mirren when you would all be cordially invited to come and sleep on my floor

 

[Minty]

Only 28 for me.......thought it was more than that but I've been to some of them a number of times (Derby, Forest, Cov etc etc)

 

[SHOREHAMST.com]

Oh yeah most definitely. Also, should Accrington and Newport go down and Lincoln and Tranmere come up then that would put me up to 89!

 

[Tarkus]

Good morning

154 English grounds in total with 145 being to see the Blades (the balance was with friends who supported either Peterborough or Dull City)
Started going to the Lane in 71 on a dedicated coach from the Roland Arms in Aston when I was 10.

As well as my undying love for TRAWW, the main nucleus was getting a company car in the mid-eighties (just before the glorious Bassett/French era) with unlimited free petrol - remember the lads used to get me my ticket/ale for driving them to places like Bournemouth/Hartlepool etc mid-week....fab fuckin times all round....!

Have just got the new Barnet and Cheats FC ones to do in the top 4 leagues.

If i had my time again i wouldn't change a thing ....!

I know everyone does the 92 different but have United played at Newport, Accrington or Barnet? They haven't played at Brighton's new place so no blade can have done that - not watching United anyway.

 

[I should coco]

THIS IS NOT A BIGGEST BLADE CONTEST.

Yeah, right.

I did loads in the 80s and early 90's but then marriage and kids slowed things down.

I guess about 70 different grounds although that would include duplicates for:
Donny
Chessy
Derby
Stoke
Bolton
Sunderland
Hull
Bradford (pre fire / Odsal / post fire)
Southampton
Leicester
Man City
Coventry
plus clubs like Lincoln and Boston that are no longer in the league.

There are plenty of other old/new sets that other Blades will have done.

 

[georgebernardshaw]

I'm speaking from the Leicester ring Road, and I'm still trying to find fucking Filbert Street

Turn the radio off, wind the window down and listen hard.

When the wind is blowing in the right direction you can still hear those 7,000 Blades cheering.......

 

[Kenilworth]

I'm on 70 grounds where I have seen the Blades play, old and new and THOSE FUCKING PLAY OFF FINALS!

 

[I should coco]

THOSE FUCKING PLAY OFF FINALS

Yes, I think we set another record by being the only team to lose at Old Wemberlee, Cardiff and New Wemberlee. It really takes some doing to achieve our level of continual shitty incompetence.

 

[Fairweather67]

48, the only old and new I've done is Huddersfield and Arsenal. I did another sixteen(present league clubs)that don't exist anymore:
Ayrsome Park
Filbert Street
Boothferry Park
Roker Park
Baseball Ground
Springfield Park
Millmoor
Old Show Ground
Burden Park
Eastville
Old Den
Fellows Park
Gay Meadow
Saltergate
Belle Vue
Somerton Park
Plus
Feethams and Sealand Road
