miser Posted August 16, 2018 Report Share Posted August 16, 2018 Think that I am on 77. Excluding Spurs, I'm not sure if I want to do the rest - mainly 2nd division. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olé Posted August 17, 2018 Report Share Posted August 17, 2018 There's quite a few websites that log which grounds you've been to, if you're interested, I had a play with a few of them a couple of seasons ago and must point you to: http://www.doingthe92.com which in my opinion is by far the best. It's a bit slow (I think it's a hobbyist website), but it produces more interesting stats for you (and some interesting albeit 1990's web-design looking charts and tables of your grounds visited alphabetically, by season, by division, etc). But the best thing is it can actually show you season by season lists of City fixtures so you simply checkbox the matches you went to, and it automatically builds your record of grounds, working out what ground a club was at for each. Currently only on 58 (active league grounds) with another 10 or so I've done that became non-league or replaced with newer grounds. Like a few people, Liberty Stadium is the only new one this year - depending who we get in the cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You Do The Dziekanowski Posted August 17, 2018 Report Share Posted August 17, 2018 I started it and wanted to do them all following city, realising it would never happen and cost a shed tone of money I’ve eased off a bit now still try and get to the new ones when city play there but not really bothered if I’ve been to a ground before now. As long as I’m watching City Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Busterrimes Posted August 17, 2018 Report Share Posted August 17, 2018 I try and use International breaks to do the lower league grounds I have left. In recent years I did Wimbledon and Barnet this way. I hope to do the Kassam and Accrington this season. I have Derby and Hill in the Championship but went to both old grounds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cider-manc Posted August 17, 2018 Report Share Posted August 17, 2018 On 57 currently (not all with City). Would be 58 but i was ill both of the previous times we played Scunthorpe so despite having tickets already purchased didn’t attend. Only 4 grounds in the divison that i haven't done yet and unfortunately i can't do Swansea or milwall this season but hopefully i can get to norwich and west brom. Most recent loss was chesterfield but tranmere coming back meant my numbers remained the same! I guess ill have to do white hart lane again when it opens though.... Isn't it Brentfords last season at their ground this season as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedM Posted August 17, 2018 Report Share Posted August 17, 2018 12 hours ago, Unan said: Still never done Loftus Road, probably never will Horrible ground. Been there once with City and once for the Game for Grenfell charity game. Obviously I sat in the away end, top tier with City which was cramped and restricted view from pillars. For the Grenfell game we had seats right next to the directors box, which was also cramped ( and the directors seats were exactly the same). Worse leg room I have ever experienced, anywhere. Lucky I am only 5’ 3”. Horrendous, horrible place. Giving it a swerve this season. I don’t know how many grounds I’ve done, 60 odd maybe. Have lost a load of the old ones which bumps my total down. Going to Swansea so that will be a new one for me. I don’t count them unless I’ve seen a City play there, have been to Swansea twice before for concerts though.

I think that’s why they don’t give us a full allocation of tickets even now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Berkshire Red Posted August 17, 2018 Report Share Posted August 17, 2018 Whats the general consensus around new stadiums? Does visiting the old ground count or do you have to revisit a club if they move/redevelop stadium? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was chuffed Rovers got QPR away as that will make it 173 different grounds with The Gas. For a supporter of any other club I would say that is pretty good going but if your lot are to be believed there must be tens of thousands of rovers fans who have done around the same?

Does visiting the old ground count or do you have to revisit a club if they move/redevelop stadium? I don’t count them if they move, but do if they redevelop. Eg Ashton Gate is in the same location but of course very, very different, but I would still count them. Newport I wouldn’t count for example as I’ve only been to their old ground, years ago but not to their current, Rodney Parade. I’ve also been to West Ham’s ground for a tour and not to see City, so I don’t count them even though I went to Upton Park/Boleyn Ground. I think everyone counts differently though, complicated innit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markman Posted August 17, 2018 Report Share Posted August 17, 2018 I understand the compulsion - but for me unless I am watching City it does not count - I could add 6 or 7 grounds to my total (see sig) but they were not watching City so I leave them off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weepywall Posted August 17, 2018 Report Share Posted August 17, 2018 Been to 54 out of the current 92 all with City, think I was in the 70,s at one time so many have gone or out of the league, been to 3 non City, Southampton v Millwall at the Dell with a Millwall "mate", Newport v Everton FA cup and Millwall and Cardiff turned up as their game was called off and Bournemouth v Hull( for something to do on a Saturday) and went in the Hull end with about 80 others and I obviously stood out in my white Sergio Tacchini tracksuit top as I got hit over a wall by Bournemouth fans after the game, not my finest hour !!!

Between August 1979 and April 83, City played at Nearly all the other 91 grounds, so anyone who went to every City game in that period must be in with a shout.
