After an email discussion in work I worked out I have been to 45 of the 92 grounds. Thats not as good as I'd hoped but mainly because we cant get out of this damn division and I've seen most of those grounds 2, 3 and 4 times each!

How many have the rest of you done? Anyone done the 92?

I reckon that I have been to between 15-20. Not bad, but not as many as I would have liked. Most of these have been pretty rubbish ones (Stockport, Bury, Blackpool) such as been City's lowly status since I started watching them.

Only been to a couple of games that haven't involved City:

Ipswitch - West Ham

Man U - Leeds

Liverpool - Man U

I went to watch Liverpool - Man U and paid £16 to sit in the Kop (about 4-5 years ago). The next week I went to watch Bury - City at Gigg Lane and spent the same amount to sit in the Away end :rolleyes:

What exactly is the `92` nowadays.

With clubs getting new grounds, teams dropping in and out of the league how do you calculate it?

A question for the stattos.

From day 1 of the league season. How many grounds do you think it would be possible to visit during the course of one season?

Interesting to see how many of the grounds Ive seen City play at, no longer exist.

PS Think I may have previously posted this when I meant to Preeview. Also cant work out why Millwall's old ground gets changed to "The Then".

An old fart at 42! If you say so. Had a season ticket with my dad as a lad, then just got to every game I could when I started playing. Still play Sats, but have got season ticket for 04/05 in anticipation of not being called upon so much!
