Cant believe I've racked up 85 and thats with 10 in the conference.

It is about time we play Everton again, every FA Cup, League Cup round where they are in I hope we play them, every time disappointed, although with Mr Bloom at the helm we might just be 2 seasons from the promised land.

...left for me to tick off.

A personal bugbear of mine is that I've never seen us play at West Ham - the last ground in London that I've not seen us at apart from the Emirates.

I'm guessing there are SUPERFAN badges to be handed out for those who've seen us play against Everton. :bowdown:

EDITED...because I'm a SPACKO who somehow forgot the, erm, 1983 cup final and replay...

Bloody hell how do people remember all this? I must admit when I first went to away games as a young man I started counting the grounds I'd been to, but I stopped when I realised that I was turning into the sad football equivalent of a train-spotter. All I know is I've been to 'most' league clubs and a fair few non-league ones given the demise of clubs like Halifax and York.

I put down 92+ Barrow, Workington, etc were in the Football League then. Oxford United had replaced Accrington Stanley.

At the time, I was young and Oxford United match was only my first 20,000+ crowd at the Goldstone following the 20,000+ against Barrow on the opening day of the season in Division 4.

Er, yes thank you - all the home games and one trip to Goodison between 79 and 83. Goodison being one of the grounds I would only return to if the game 'mattered'. So anyone over about 35 has a chance of having seen us play the Toffees.

Villa we played 70-71, 71/-72, 72-73 as well as the four seasons in the top flight. Never seen us play Accrington, Dag and Red or Morecombe as I don't think we have played any of them in competitive matches.

Down the pyramid - several in the Blue Square, Halifax, Scarborough (wherever those two arr now) Leatherhead, Sudbury, Kingstonian (are they still going?)

Been to over 120 grounds with the Albion but that includes new stadia.

Villa

85 for me. I'm another one who's missing Everton. Couldn't remember ever having seen us play Villa, either.

Villa was memorable in the season they won the League Division One. I think we won in a game without too much atmosphere although the Villa fans seemed to think it was quite intimidating.

And I don't suppose you around for the memorable game in 71?

Have we ever played Morecambe, Dagenham, Accrington ?

Blimey, that is scary. If we hadnt moved down here and ended up in Canada like my Dad wanted seemly, that would have saved me a fortune


Oh and I have been to quite a few old and new stadiums, like Leeds Road and the McAlpine, The Ricoh and Highfield Road( ?) Pride Park and the baseball Ground, Roker Park ( shithole full of homicidal thugs) and The Stadium of Light ( or whatever the place is called)

About 65. Not 100% sure as I can't remember all the home games. May well be more.

If it were just away games 46 from that list.

Haven't got a scooby. I know I've seen us play at 52 different grounds, and I'm guessing that as I've been going since 1974 I must have seen us play most teams by now with a few obvious exceptions like Acrrington & Morecombe.

I'm definitely missing Accrington, Daggers, Morecambe and Burton, and I just can't remember ever seeing Bury, but must have done when we were in the 3rd Division in the seventies and nineties
