"Joyful", didn't realise it's meaning was an inability to read.

That Raith Rovers one looks a little out of place amongst that neat list. What was the story with that trip? - for a night match as well.

Pretty impressive. Not been to that many myself but remember Gigg Lane, Bury v us in 76 or 77, I think that twat Gordon Taylor. ( yes him) was on the left wing for them. Also Mansfield at Field Mill in the FA cup, Best result I saw away was our 2-1 win at Upton Pk v those prats at WHUtd when Phil Cliff got us 2 goals. Brilliant.

I was working up there about 40mins drive away.

We looked like world beaters that night.

[BornOnShorehamStreet]

I've surprised myself. Seen us away against 74 teams and 83 grounds to include new grounds. League One and the old Fourth helped.

 

[HuddersfieldBlade]

Been to a disappointing 41 grounds, plus went to see Kidderminsters 1st league game against Blackpool, and played footie at Havants & Wateelooville’s ground

 

[Tramway Blade]

Never seen so many Blades disappear over 90 mins on thier kop

 

[Swinton Blade]

57 grounds, unfortunately two of the clubs don't exist anymore.

 

[Bearlie]

[wak1889]

I have been to 81 grounds but a few have moved to new grounds

I have been to 81 grounds but a few have moved to new grounds

I've seen them play away against 44 different league clubs ,. Some multiple some in differ stadiums, and both Wembley's the millennium/principality , handful of non league grounds and a friendly in portugal

I have been to 81 grounds but a few have moved to new grounds

 

[Houston_Blade]

56 different grounds, I'll improve this now the lad is of an age where we can start going to a few. Away trips were the first thing that went when I had kids, wouldn't want to spend a whole weekend day away from a young family and wasn't dragging them to games, I'm hoping it will be something we can do together over the next few years. Not sure my daughter will ever be bothered though.

 

[blade too long]

The one thing going to division 4 gave us was the chance to complete visiting every one of the 92 clubs plus all those who have since joined replacing the 1981 list of clubs that we have played up to 2016 which takes us to around 100
Then there's 20 plus new grounds that's replaced crumbling ground
Wembley and Cardiff for play offs
Then there's all the foreign pre season gr[funds we have played at ..
Scotland Spain Holland Malta China etc

 

[Whiston Blade]

Hmm nowhere near as many as some but.

Bramall Lane
Hillsborough
Millmoor
Oakwell
Elland Road
Pride Park
City Ground
Old Trafford
Etihad
Boundry Park
London Road
Molineux
Vicarage Road
Wembley old & new
Millennium Stadium
Watnall Road

 

[metalblade]

Makes you feel old when you stop and look how many grounds no longer exist. Just a few here off the top of my head there will be many more.

Highfield road
Millmoor
Baseball ground
Upton park
Leeds road
Saltergate
Maine road
Roker Park

 

[NAP]

Bizarre. Racecourse Wrexham. 3 times within weeks. Nondescript trophy . 1 called off last minute due to rain, 1-1 draw when it was played in the group game, draw for 1st round proper paired us with them again away, lost 2-1. Btw think I’ve seen a Utd side play on about 110 grounds.

#metoo plus add Burnden Park, Victoria Ground, Springfield Park, Gay Meadow, the Dell, Highbury, Plough Lane, Belle Vue, Boothferry Park, Ayresome Park

Boston away in the FAC (83 or 84?) - can't be that many who were there and still go.
