  1. And Millwall at Portsmouth ( they played us)
  2. I did, but I can't count Ashton Gate twice, it's the same ground.
  3. We played in the Anglo.Scottish Cup too! Older viewers will know why I try to forget it.
  4. We did actually play a 'home' game at Yeovil's old ground against Real Oviedo as well- unfortunately I wasn't there.
  5. Here we go then, current grounds unless otherwise stated. So this is different grounds that I've seen Rovers first team on and that includes friendlies Current Prem teams Bournemouth Arsenal (Highbury) Viila Brentford (Griffin Park) Brighton (Goldstone & Withdean) Burnley Chelsea Everton Fulham Liverpool Luton Man City ( Maine Road) Newcastle Forest Sheffield Utd West Ham (Upton) Wolves Current Championship teams Birmingham Blackburn Da S**t Cardiff (old & new) Coventry Huddersfield (old &new) Hull (old &new) Ipswich Leeds Leicester (old & new) Middlesbrough (Ayresome) Millwall (old & new) Norwich Argyle PNE QPR Rotherham (Millmoor , Don Valley and the current one) Wednesday Southampton (old & new) Stoke Sunderland (old & new) Swansea (old & new) Watford West Brom Current L1 clubs Barnsley Blackpool Bolton (old & new) Rovers (Eastville, Twerton & The Mem) Burton Cambridge Carlisle Charlton (Selhurst and Valley) Cheltenham Derby (old & new) Exeter Fleetwood Orient Lincoln Northampton (old & new) Oxford (old & new) Peterborough Port Vale Portsmouth Reading (old & new) Shrewsbury (old & new) Stevenage Wigan (old & new) Wycombe Current L2 clubs Accrington Wimbledon (Kingstonian ) Barrow Bradford Colchester (old & new) Crawley Crewe Doncaster (old & new) Forest Green (old & new) Gillingham Grimsby Harrogate Mansfield MK Dons Morecambe Newport (old & new) Notts County Salford Stockport Sutton Swindon Tranmere Walsall (old & new) Wrexham National League clubs inc North & South Aldershot Altrincham Barnet (old & new) Bromley Chesterfield (old & new) Dagenham Eastleigh Halifax Gateshead Hartlepool Kidderminster Oldham Rochdale Southend Woking York (Bootham Crescent) Alfreton Boston (York Street) Chester (old & new) Darlington (Feethams and Darlington Arena) Gloucester City (Original Meadow Park) Hereford Scunthorpe Braintree Dartford Dover Torquay Welling Weston Supe Mare (old & new) Weymouth Yeovil Others in pyramid Macclesfield Telford Hitchin Kettering (Rockingham Road) Nuneaton AFC Totton Dorchester Salisbury Melksham Yate VS Rugby Mangotsfield Clevedon Wisbech (Fenland Park) Calne Keynsham Bury The Rest Runcorn (at Widnes) Rushden & Diamonds Ayr United Wembley Millenium Stadium Peel (Isle of Man) Ramsey (Isle of Man) AFC Stapleton and if I include the grounds of Frenchay Hospital where Rovers played a 1st team friendly against a Guest Frenchay team (which included Kevin Mabbutt) its actually a total of 177. I have done the 92 at one point , but with the new grounds I am down to 89 and my grand total of all grounds (not just with Rovers) is 233 (definitely at least that- maybe some I have forgotten) Now can I PLEASE have that medal!
  6. That's where you're wrong! Isle of Man tournament gave me 2 new ones with Rovers and a pre season at Ayr That's european football in my book
  7. And I hate to make it worse for him, but Wembley only counts as one- it was a rebuild not a new stadium.
  8. Well without boring everyone with the entire list, I've seen Rovers on 3 different home grounds, Brighton the same, Swansea on 2 etc etc. plus all the friendlies and- you may not be aware of this- but we dropped out of the league briefly, so that put on a good number
  9. Started watching in 1974- I think my total ground count is around 250.
  10. Not just league grounds, I've seen them play on 176 different grounds. So for example I'm counting Wembley, The Millenium, pre season friendlies on the IoM and Scotland etc. And I have seen Rovers at Arsenal (Highbury) and Everton, and they have played at Old Trafford a couple of times in my lifetime(even won there) but I didn't go to those games.
  11. Kids? I'm 60 next year and I want one!
  12. Have you seen your club on. There was a story on Sky recently where an Ipswich fan. had just visited her 90th ground with Ipswich. I've done 176 with The Gas, so firstly I want a large medal and secondly , there must be a few who have watched City with a similar number?
  13. Of all the candidates mentioned, he'd be my pick.
  14. It is interesting( and slightly depressing for me) that City are now getting these sort of crowds. I've been watching Rovers for around 50 years and if we are saying the gap in attendances is around 10k in terms of home support, I think that would be the biggest gap I've known. In terms of league position , we aren't that different from where we have been for much of that period. The one obvious difference now is that you have , in effect, a new stadium. As much as many of us- myself included- like an old school ground, it does seem that the rebuild of Ashton Gate allied maybe with the professionalism and drive of Steve Lansdown have had an incredible effect on attendances.
  15. Lovely bloke and very knowledgeable about all things Rovers related. He is just there to comment on the game, albeit from a Rovers perspective. No different to when Colin Howlett commentated on Rovers and Phil Tottle on City.
  16. It must be very frustrating for you all to be held up in your plans , while work on our 'superstadium' is well under way. #comingforyou
  17. I met Leroy Lita when i was involved in kids football and he gave out the trophies on a presentation night and I have to say he came across as very quiet and unassuming. Re the comments about Brooker, this may endear him to you all a little more. Saw him play against us up at Cheltenham and he got horrendous abuse from the first whistle. He scored in the second half in front of the Cheltenham fans, but turned around and ran back up to our end to celebrate in a very vociferous manner, upsetting quite a few. TBF I would never blame any player for doing that, if you can't take it back, don't dish it out.
  18. Never saw a game there , but I used to cover IOW for work and being a bit of a ground nerd (about 175 with the Gas alone) I nosed around it a fair bit and I would say that is 99.999999999% St Georges Park , the old ground of Newport in the IOW.
  19. That indeed was the common consensus. However, my opinion was that Celtic were so dreadfully abysmal that season, even Rangers couldn't fail.
  20. Yeh- I loved him I don't get the mentality there though, they had Giovanni Van Bronckhurst in charge, a decent bloke with a good football brain and a Rangers background. He gets them to a European final, with some spectacular results along the way, which they only lose on penalties and he's gets sacked the next season for a poor showing in Europe., absolutely ridiculous decision. Gerrard is loved there for stopping ten in a row, but the way Celtic were that season I think next door's act could have won them the league. Beale rode in on the back of that success and the fact he talks the kinda shite about the club that some fans lap up (which is all Gerrard did as well) Anyway, I am a bit worried, Celtic haven't been playing that well this season and I was relying on Rangers being shite again. lets hope they don't make a decent appointment.
