WoodleyRoyal can you class non league teams in the list if you went to them while they were in the football league?


Officially if they go out and come back in, you have to do them again

That can't be right. Providing the ground doesn't change and you saw the incumbent during a period where they were in the football league/PL AND they are now in the top 4 divisions then that qualifies.

Also, in 1992 on the formation of the PL all those grounds would effectively null and viod!

You'd be amazed at the rules groundhoppers invent to disqualify grounds from counting. I know of people who don't count grounds if they turn up late, or if it's a groundshare, they have to see bth teams that play there.

Dorchester has never had a league team and I can't think of a ground called Dorchester used by a league club.

Bournemouth used their ground for about half a season when Dean Court was being redeveloped about 8 or 10 years ago.

Been to about 70 grounds to see Reading but only about 45 odd of the current 92. I've been running to stand still in the last couple of seasons with the various new grounds and relegations oput of the league.

Yep, had forgotten about that - I'll count the Avenue Stadium, Dorchester too please. 1-0 loss on a Tuesday night which the 'locals' celebrated as if they'd won the FA Cup :roll: .
