How many football grounds have you been to in total inc abroad. and more interestingly how many have you done with the town?? im in my late 50s and done over 200 inc 3 bristol rovers newport etc and the conference and inc minor league grounds. iv done the 92 and all the new grounds in England apart from Bolton, man citys and barnets new ones. JUST TOWN iv done 86 of the 92 all but 6, Barnsley god knows why i did it with leeds years ago but never town and (5 we have never played at spurs, forest, fleetwood, anfield, old trafford,correct me if im wrong) SMITHY could beat that at a guess and BIZZY maybe anyone else done lots of grounds? or am i boring keeping count.

Stu Dunn was talking about this on Pre-match build up yesterday. Think he'd done all but 8 of the 92 and Mark Elliott had done around 60 odd.

69 current league grounds for me. 108 past and present league grounds altogether and I've seen Town play at 110 different grounds (including non-league, Scotland etc)

fair play iv accumilated mine over A period OF 40 years il have to work out what iv actually done with the town iv followed england and liverpool to over 30 games abroad so i must be looking at a minimum of 150 plus with the town.so depending on your age thats very impressive.

Just updated my list on here www.stadiumcollector.co.uk/index.phpApparently I have been to 131 current & defunct grounds listed (more than I realised). Been following Salop since the late 1960's. Also been to the Citrus Bowl to watch Orlando City FC once.

Just had a look at the stadium collector website. I'm guessing that BasildonShrew at No.16 on their league table with 394 grounds visited is MartinB on here. Impressive total Martin.

I had done 85 of the 92 with Town, but that was back in the 80's before automatic promotion from the Conference and before clubs started moving to new grounds. Not really kept up with it since then, though I did most of the away Conference games and loads of non league grounds including plenty in the Welsh Cup.
Doubt I could put a figure on it but maybe 150 or so, but probably only about 70 current League grounds.

Does doing all 92 in 13 days in a row for charity count back in 2007?

Nah a Renault Espace ha, wasn't into cycling back then. Doubt I could do 3.000 mile on a bike in 13 days either lol. We did all 92 and Wembley for the BHF, each club on arrival donated something and allowed us a pitch photo and most clubs gave us a tour. Then we auctioned everything off on return and raised 5k
BHF cause lost me life long salop supporting dad to a heart attack in 2006

Never considered what the total mileage might be before I posted - yeah, that would be some challenge!

Having spent the last 17 years (most of my working life) in Japan, and not being very interested in J-League, not so many. The vast majority of mine were in my childhood/student days. Not really sure exactly how many grounds but I have been to games at grounds of 42 (43? can't remember if I went to Reading!?) of the current 92. A lot of those will be their old grounds, a few both old and new. 7 of the current Conference Premier teams, at least 2 lower non-league, Shedgar Street, Wembley, Toulon in France, Fiorentina in Italy, and I think three club grounds in Japan plus the national olympic stadium, currently being rebuilt for 2020. So around 60 grounds that I have watched games at in total.
