Anybody hit the 100 grounds milestone yet? (any games count, as long as you paid to get in and saw the game) I worked out that Guildford City was my 100th ground the other day and i'm having very mixed feelings on the issue, since it's not really a football ground if we're honest...  ;D Also, if i'd known at the time it was my 100th i would have at least had a beer to celebrate it! |

Am closing in on 200 watching Salisbury, and over the double century for all football.
Got a few years on you though, plus Salisbury playing in 5 different leagues in 5 seasons quite recently did help bump my figures up pretty rapidly.

Anybody hit the 100 grounds milestone yet? Oh aye, nearer 300 now I think. Mainly thanks to my wilderness years spent groundhopping in the north, far away from them Hawks. The Kempster hoppers boards are illuminating though - we're talking several thousands for some of the hardcore types. |

God, I can't remember who mine was. I had a vague idea it was Woodford United, but that seems too recent.

Tried working my milestones out, and unless I've forgotten to carry the one somewhere, then I hit the ton at Carlisle and made it a double at Stenhousmuir.
Which isn't nearly as tinpot as I'd like.
Mind you #250 was seemingly Kingsbury London Tigers, so we're getting there.
Not made a century yet in terms of grounds visited watching H&W 1st XI, 88 at the minute.
Pretty clear I'm twiddling my thumbs this evening, isn't it?

I seem to have a paltry half-century, of which 18 are in the current '92'.
My 50th must have been, err... Griffin Park, Brentford.
I'm very sad, I have an application thing on Facebook - it lets you rate the grounds.
The best have been: Layer Road (Colchester), The Dell (Southampton), The Rec. (Aldershot)
The worst: Frimley Green, CB Hounslow, Colliers Wood United (and regrettably, Guildford City!)

I would never rate down any ground that has a Wimpy nearby. In fact my Wimpy dinner was why i was late into the ground and wasn't with Sal harassing you guys pre-match |

I'll have to give that one some thought.

I resolved in the mid 80's to do the "92" and all the professional Rugby League grounds but Mrs Sultan came along and my booze and footy money disappeared on trivia such as housing, food and a child when i'd only done about 50 or so.
My little interest at the time was "collecting" the footy ground by watching an RL game being played on it. Thus i saw Fulham RLFC play at Craven Cottage and at Wealdstone FC,( i kicked myself for missing the chance to watch Fulham RLFC at Stamford Bridge) saw Southend Ivicta at Roots Hall, watched my beloved Widnes play the Cardiff City Blue Dragons at Ninian Park, Swinton (including Ryan Giggs' father Danny Wilson) take on Sheffield Eagles at Bolton's old Burnden Park home, Blackpool Borough at Blackpool FC and the somewhat nomadic Mansfield Marksman RLFC play home games at Mansfield Town, Notts County and Alfreton. Happy days...

I have never counted but on a weekend of very boring nightshifts a few weeks back I tried to tot up every one I could remember going to and came to 510.
If I am correct (very doubtful!) then Number 500 was Old Wulfrunians at Castlecroft.
