You may think that this campaign died a death a long way back. However I have been continuing the mission alone  . So since the 3/1/09 (West Brom v Peterborough) The last listed game in the old thread I have been to: 31/1/09 - St Marys Stadium - Southampton Vs Swansea City 14/2/09 - St James Park - Exeter City Vs Aldershot 13/9/09 - Cardiff City Stadium - Cardiff City Vs Newcastle Utd 26/9/09 - Dean Court - Bournemouth Vs Burton Albion 1/10/09 - Craven Cottage - Fulham Vs Basle 17/10/09 - EBB Stadium - Aldershot Vs Bury 2/1/10 - Villa Park - Aston Villa Vs Blackurn Rovers (sadly not the 6-4) That brought my personal Tally to 28 of the current 92 football league grounds. Match 30Date: 23/01/10 Game: Wolverhampton Wanderers 2-2 Crystal Palace Location: Molineux Attendance: 14,449 Distance: 95 Miles Ticket Price: £20.00 Programme Price: £2.50

Didn't realise you'd gone there Ben. Good game to watch, and very reasonable ticket price too. Only BCFA team to beat BSXI 4 times since 12th December 2009.....

This is brilliant Ben, keep up the travelling. It sounds like you picked a cracking match to watch.
All the best with the 92....a real challenge. Over the years my number of 92 clubs has been shrinking due to all these new grounds and teams dropping out of the League (Sealand Road, Leeds Road, Highfield Road, Maine Road, Burnden Park, Ayresome Park, Ninian Park, The Shay, The Manor Ground, Kenilworth Road, Somerton Park, Blundell Park).
With a wife and kids it will just shrink and shrink! Enjoy your travels.

The league cup always seems to deliver goals I've seen: Liverpool 3-6 Arsenal Liverpool 4-3 Reading Reading 2-4 Liverpool Chelsea 3-4 Newcastle I only discovered today that my ground total was one short due to Oxfords return to the league. I went to the Kassam back in 2004.

Looking forward to your reviews of Darlington's and Carlisle's grounds (neither of which I've been to although I have driven passed Darlo's new ground that no one goes to).

It's certainly going to be a busy few weeks on the 'Groundhopping' front with the following games already penciled in:
02/10/2010 - MK Dons vs Colchester Utd (League 1) just £6
05/10/2010 - Barnet vs Southend Utd (JP Trophy) Just £8
23/10/2010 - Coventry City vs Barnsley (Championship) Just £10
26/10/2010 - West Ham vs Stoke City (Carling Cup)
At those prices my challenge may not be as expensive as first thought.

Out of interest, have you been to Withdean for Brighton's games? If not, wait until the new stadium is open next season, fortress falmer to be name the American Express Stadium, or more likely the Amex. Looks a cracker!!
