A very impressive list you have there, but how does the above work? According to Wikipedia, they moved to White Hart Lane in 1899.

Over 24 years Good point. I seem to remember they were rebuilding a stand when i was last there but you are correct, they did not move so that is another one to delete

 

[stavros]

Don't worry about it. In terms of making it to 92, either stadia would count, i.e. you could have Elm Park or the Madejski and still tick Reading off the list.

I've just discovered there is a magazine dedicated solely to football grounds http://groundtastic.co.uk/

Also, the Lowland League are doing a 'groundhop' weekend soon if anyone wants to bump their list up by 6 in the space of a few days

[stavros]

So the season ended yesterday; where have you all added since last year?

For me, it's just been the Weston Homes Community Stadium (Colchester).

 

[oneflewover]

Current premiership, all
Championship, all -Forest
1st all -Northampton
2nd all -Dagenham & Accrington Stanley
Blue Square Cambridge, Torquay, Stevenage( v York), Oxford, Wrexham, Rushden, Mansfield, York

Others, Bradford Pk Ave, Bishops Stortford, Blyth Spartans, Farsley Celtic (v York), Winterton Rangers, North Ferriby, Harrogate Town, Northwich Victoria, Scarborough, Guisley

Most that have had ground changes Bristol Rovers x3, Coventry, Bolton, Doncaster, Scunthorpe, Reading, Sunderland, Derby, Wimbledon, Stoke, Chester, Manchester City,.

New Wembley
Old Wembley ( Rugby)

Might have missed some, except for 2 that is always v Hull City. I count friendly matches

I'm retiring from away games this year, just cannot afford it any longer with night matches needing B&Bs and S*y messing with fixtures.

I am just going to fill in some blanks and maybe FA cup all the way

This since last, have acquired, Chesterfield, Accrington Stanley, Nottingham Forest and MK Dons with the full team, Frickley Athletic and Rossington Main with the U21s

So of the 92 now have missing from their current ground, Burton Albion, Wimbledon, Wycombe, Fleetwood, Shrewsbury, Newport, Crawley, Colchester, Northampton

 

[stavros]

Burton's a good one, especially as they're upwardly mobile. Of the new post-Taylor report stadia I've been to it's one of my favourites.
