    For a 28 year old think it's quite a good achievement, hope to do the 92 by the time l'm 50!
    49 out of the 50 are whilst Barnsley have been playing, not much more to visit in the top two divisions so l'll be stuck around the 50 mark for a while. Only been to half of the division 2 grounds.
    Full List is:
    50 current football league grounds
    10 old stadiums
    1 Non-league
    4 International.

    Anyone achieved the 92 yet?

    Bare in my mind when l was in my school years..

    Barnsley stayed in the same division for about 15 years! you had about 4 new grounds to visit every season, we have been in 3 different leagues in the past ten years. I have doubled by tally since the Prem season!

    Good achievement, off to Milan next week so...

    hopefully will take in the San Siro, don't really count them myself unless l watch a game! hope there's some type of friendly. Hoping to get around a few Europeans ones including the Amsterdam arena again in November, l would definately recommend that stadium.

    I did mate, Salou 1986...

    but thought the stadium was nice at the time but it hasn't changed since!! it's now a crumbling concrete sh*t hole, nice trophy room though. Bought the yellow away shirt with the home colours stripe down from their club shop, don't know if you can remember that!

    70 league so far....

    ... but I started way back in 1956, when my dad started taking me! Mostly to watch the Reds, but it includes some that are no more, for example Roker, Dell, the Den (worst away experience ever in 70s - remember FTroop?), Bootham Crescent and Baseball Ground, plus some that are no longer league clubs eg Shay. Did a load of new ones when we were in the Prem. Some new ones coming up this season for me - St Marys, Sarfend, Walkers, maybe... overall its only an average of one and a bit per season. My best ones and worst ones might make interesting reading, although my judgement is sometimes influenced by Reds performances on the day.

    Reading Elm Park
