I was playing!!! This was a 'riot' the British Embassy got a Brit 11 to play a cuban 11. The cubans took it so seriously that we had to line up with our impromptu 'england' kits just like in an international match and they played the darn national anthems for both countries. then we had to shake hands with some dignatories - cripes, for a moment i thought Fidel might appear!! it was on tv as well - how embarassing - i played absolutely awful if i say so myself as a centre half stopper!! expat brits average age 35 against teenage hypo cubans all of which were about 18 or 19 - they beat us 3-2!! great game. great times.

WayOutWest Posted October 2, 2005 Report Share Posted October 2, 2005 Must have been to 50+ grounds. Some have been re-built, Stoke, Derby and Millwall etcBeen to a few European Grounds watching EnglandParisTurinHelsinkiAlbaniaToo mention a few.Saw Athletico Madrid v Valencia at the Vicente Calderon. Few fights in the toilets in the stand, no segragation. Was only maybe a few hundred Valencia fans there. Think they won 4 nil. The Athletico fans set fire to their end and a flare was thrown at their own keeper!!!! Kept wondering what would happen if that happened in an English Ground.....Us English animals and all that.Oh and Commonwealth stadium in Edmonton Canada to watch the egg chasers.RegardsSteve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robbored Posted October 2, 2005 Report Share Posted October 2, 2005 There was a time when I'd done all 92 but with the development of new stadiums and new clubs in the football league, I'd guess I've been to about 80 in today's game.I haven't been to Huish Park for example.The grounds I've been to most apart from AG are Brentford,Cardiff and Swindon.

Guest Posted October 3, 2005 Report Share Posted October 3, 2005 Used to go to nearly all the away games but that was back in the late 60`s and 70`s and it was interesting to go don't bother going away hardly at all now. So been to most but none of the new ones or new boys Yeovil,Barnet etc :Sleep12: :Sleep12: :Sleep12: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brianred Posted October 3, 2005 Report Share Posted October 3, 2005 37 I think. Having seen City since stoneage times countless! promotion to the old first i missed one game and that was a night match at sunderland (1-1)back then it took twice as long so boss said you don't turn up bye! so after relegation season we slid straight to the old div four ! from luxury to slumming it grounds i have managed 80 odd.

annanimo Posted October 3, 2005 Report Share Posted October 3, 2005 I think it's easier to list the ones I haven't been to.I have still to visit quite a few, but in particular the serene Huish Park, the backwaters of Boston United's historic ground, Northampton's new Sixfields Stadium, Barnet's Underhill and Shrewsbury's Gay Meadow.Also a fair few of the Prem grounds but I don't really have the desire to visit most of the soulless concrete monstrosities that pass for football grounds in the higher divisions.

Guest Tactical Genius Posted October 3, 2005 Report Share Posted October 3, 2005 You don't become a Genius of the game without knowing your stuff. I have attended all 92 league grounds, plus lots of ex-grounds that are now soulless housing estates, a fair smattering of non-league grounds, and of course many, many foreign fields.

Super Bob Posted October 3, 2005 Report Share Posted October 3, 2005 Been to a few grounds mostly in the early 90's ( young free an single in them days ) and seen some cracking games...Trumpton ( 4 or 5 times including that 1 )Baaaadiff ( Loads of times)Swansea ( Loads but only the old ground )BournemouthShrewsburyWalsall (New ground )Birmingham ( When we won 5-0, Different gravy that day )Swindle ( Loads and Loads)Oxford ( The day the fog came down )Reading ( Old ground )Brentford ( Loads, including this season)Fulham ( 3 or 4 times )Southend ( First game of the season 93, got in for free when we surged and the big gates opened )Brighton ( Their old ground )GillinghamNotts CountyNottm Forest ( We were soooo close )Leicester ( The Jacki game was BRILL )Watford ( Took the Misses, never again )BuryBolton ( Old ground with the supermarket in the corner. There was nearly a riot )Mansfield ( Never forget that game, 4-2 down with 3 mins to go, Roberts winner will stay with me always )West HamPortsmouthQPRStokePort ValePrestonPlymouthHuddersfield ( Leeds Road )DoncasterBlackpool ( Freezing Tuesday night, Junior got the equalliser, for Blackpool :@ )Middelsbrough ( Great weekend, stopped in Nottingham Friday night, got trashed in Ritzys, Lost the game 2-1 I think, stayed in some Boro fans flat on Saturday, then we saw Leeds beat Villa 4-0 to win the old first division at Villa Park. )Everton ( Not with the City though, saw them play Oldham, don't know why it was poo )So I think that makes 33 away grounds with The City, and some great games in that lot.
