How far down the pyramid are we counting? I'm sure I won't be anywhere near m3 though...

I'm nowhere near you two anoraks, but my favourite non-league ground used to be Barnstaple Town. It had a great bar and some marvellous "modern architecture" :-)

Gosh paul! If I started now it would take me about three years to catch you up and that's assuming you don't go to any more in the meantime. I wonder if ANYONE can beat your total! Why not write to the NLP and see what the response is? Or maybe wait until you've got the 'ton'!

Can't believe you haven't been to East Grinstead or Rhyl Fc. ;D OR Lancaster and Consett!!! m3's got his list in alphabetical order Paul and I think you should do the same for ease of comparison and checking! Even 'groundhoppers' would struggle to compete with you two surely! |

Brian, I would imagine ground hoppers would put us in the shade as they specifically go out to add a new ground every week, whereas the likes of myself would repeat grounds more or less every season. That is unless we get promoted  |

I suppose so m3. So, do you know if there is any sort of "Guiness Book of Records" number?

Post by m3dolphin on Nov 6, 2009 8:31:58 GMT
Not sure Brian, although there is bound to be 'some' out there holding records. I remember dorsetyellow mentioned, a while ago, a website and forum for groundhoppers, but not sure if it only specialised in league ground hopping stats.

The website is www.wewillfollow.co.uk/premium.aspxI signed up for the £10 (life) membership and currently have a list of 99 grounds visited, which does include league grounds and some now defunct grounds and some internationals. I am the only Poole fan on there and you can join without registering, but only have access to Wessex Prem and league grounds without the Premuim membership. Come and join me! The record on this site is 591 held by Neil Morris In second place is an Oxford fan with 471 grounds. Of course these can not be independently verified. In truth there are some other grounds that I have visited which are also not listed. For the record tomorrow will be a new ground for me and I will be joining the 100 Club. Anyone care to celebrate with me on the Island? |
