Some impressive efforts there. To do the 92 following one club really takes some doing and a fair bit of luck / success / friendly bank manager :wink:

I finished mine off in 1991 with a turgid 0-0 between Carlisle and Stockport. Didn't join the NAA as I couldn't see the point. But mine obviously weren't all with Reading. At least I managed to stand on The Kop and The Shed.

Oh, and before you do your 92nd, contact the club you are going to well in advance and inform them that their club is your 92nd. You might get a freebie! Worked for me.

I've never been the "collecting" type, so I've never felt the need to "complete the set" of league grounds. Apart from anything else, half the fun of going away is going to somewhere new, so it'd be a little depressing to have been everywhere. I don't know the exact numbers, but I've been to about 100 grounds with Reading (if you count old grounds that no longer exist, and non-league grounds for friendlies), probably somewhere in the twenties of other grounds in the country, and fifty-something abroad.

It's very difficult to do this with one club particularly with sides coming up from the conference every year.

Do you count old grounds?

EG I've been to Roker Park but not Stadium of Light

If so I'm in mid 70's - would be higher if sides like Wrexham, York get promoted back into league 2.

I've seen games at 106 current and former league grounds (all done when these clubs were in the football league)

90 of those was watching the Royals.

However, I still have 20 or so current grounds to complete the '92. Now living in Ireland I'm pretty suren I'm never going to finish.

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