    I got the bug in 84. I'd been going since 78 and had visited some of the local grounds but I was at a loose end one day and decided to go to boro away with the social club.

    Boro led to Birmingham and then Wimbledon and I just got the bug and went all over with a few mates.

    Best I managed was only missing Norwich and Derby away over two seasons, but some of my mates went to them all.

    There is just summat special about winning away from home. Hard to describe what or why, but I felt it all those years back and it's still there today. You can see it in the younger fans.

    Grounds.

    I'm up to around 70 so far, these days l only go to a few away games a season. At my peak l didn't miss an home or away game for nearly two and a half seasons. I then kissed a girl and things changed.

    Just one for me The Calderon. Unless you count it when there's no game on in which case you can add The Bernabeo and Camp Nou.

    Up there with when we played MK Dons at the national hockey stadium as the hottest I can remember it being at a football game. I count that i've been to the old Huddersfield Town ground. I've never seen us play there but i've been in the B&Q where it used to be and seen the plaque the retail park has to mark where the centre spot was :D

    Strictly speaking, it has to be the current ground for '92 Club' purposes. If a club has moved you have two seasons to visit the new ground. I got to within eight grounds of doing the 92 in the 1990s (all watching Barnsley) but must have lost half of them now due to ground moves and relegations to the Conference.

    There's an app called "Groundhopper" - you can register every game you visit.
