    When I travel to watch Greuther Fürth vs. Fortuna Düsseldorf.

    My first was a 4-1 defeat for the Reds at Southampton in 1997.

    How many have you done, and what was your first stadium/match?

    I think 136 if you count non-League and non-English, and also count two of a club's stadiums separately (say, Man City at Eastlands and Maine Road for example).

    First game was Barnsley 2-1 Charlton at Oakwell in December 1985.

    I was at that game that was your first, by the way :)

    Mine also includes doubles like The Dell/St Mary's.

    I've done 58 in England, 25 in Germany, 10 in Scotland, 2 in Wales, and 1 in Italy, Holland, Serbia and Spain.

    My aim before the end of the season is 10 countries, currently on 8 after visiting Feyenoord on Saturday.

    Off to the Vienna derby in April, although it will be dead rubber.

    Think I've done 40

    I'm not sure when my first match was, 1960 or 1961 Reds v Donny with my Dad, stood on the old Kop with Reds and Donny fans lobbing bits of shale at each other throughout the first half, then changing ends a half time round the back of the brewery side.

    My memories not what it was , I read stuff other people put about matches I was also at , and I cannot remember half the stuff that went on.

    Done 37 of the current 92. Lots more done but I don`t count them i.e your first game at the Dell was there but not a current ground. Hoping Lincoln and Tranmere come back up as that gives me 2 more. new grounds done this year are Burton, Blackpool and Fulham. Use the website Doingthe92 now to keep tabs.

    I think I've done 50 at a quick count up (well I've definitely done 50 but I might have missed a couple of now none league teams)
    First game I think was a 1-0 defeat to Brighton in the 1970/71 season. I was definitely at that game and I don't remember an earlier one

    If you count foreign grounds and English non league grounds I must be around 100 now.
    First away from Oakwell was Huddersfield.....no...I tell a lie..it was Scarborough in the mid seventies when they played a pre season friendly against Derby just after they'd won the league title. Although I guess their title win doesn't count anymore as Sky don't recognise anything prior to the Premier League.
    First foreign stadium was the gloriously named ****dorf Stadium in Berne to watch a double header involving Young Boys, Grasshopper Zurich, AS Roma and Atletico Mineiro.
    Most memorable...Ajax Capetown v Kaiser Chiefs.
    Right, I'm done showing off now ;)

    Download the "Groundhopper" app and you can register every game and "check in" to any game you're at. It's highly addictive though!

    All stadiums count mate! Impressive list :)

    As for showing off, my 99 pales in to insignificance when you look at my mates stats, he's seeen football in something ridiculous like 46 countries and counting.

    erm...see the name
    178. First was Oakwell 1970 (I was 6). First away. Donny in 1978. 33 grounds no longer exist!!!

    The 178 includes grounds in Scotland (13), Ireland, Belgium, France and Spain.

    I've still got six to do in England before completing ' the 92'. I may die first!
