The Goat was fed I'm 70 plus - it is telling however, and I imagine a fair few of us will have this problem, I've been to more in the conference than League Two now!


Never counted - think I was well into the 70s - but with all the ups and downs from Div 4 to the Southern/Northern Prem Berger Isthmian whatever it is called today, then I'm in the same boat as Goat. Almost certainly more non-league grounds than Div 4 grounds at the mo.

Will tot up at weekend when I have 20 mins.

Oh, yeah - and what about the three paddy fields that Gas have played at? How does the 92 Club count them - or is it simply current league grounds?

Would be interesting to know how many professional (top four divisions) grounds there have been since, say, 1970....

Rule 5: In the case of clubs moving grounds, either the original ground or the new ground can be counted during the first two seasons following the move. Once the club has played at the new ground for two seasons then the original ground becomes invalid and thereafter only the new ground can be counted within the 92.

Snowball So there are currently 92 Grounds, plus how many previous grounds?

What is the maximum number possible, say since 1960?


Good point but ive no idea.

I keep a record like the Spacker that I am. Been to 120 league grounds past and present, 79 current. I have my own rules & dont count friendlies or MK D*ns

The poll title is How many current football league grounds have you been to following Reading?

In total, 130 teams have played in the Football League up to 2007 (including those in the Premier League, since clubs must pass through the Football League before reaching the former).

77. Of those, Arsenal, Chelsea, Chester (Deva), Newcastle and Wrexham did not involve Reading.

For those who don't travel, A easier task to accomplish is to see Reading play against as many teams as possible.

... bearing in mind I'm a keen 'Anorak' and have racked up a fair number of NL ground; my '92' count is a paltry 42 :oops:

...but I've excluded any clubs now not in the league (ie Chester) and any ex-grounds (Highbury, Maine Rd, Ninian, Layer Rd etc etc)
