[Football] Doing The 92

[Guinness Boy]

I’ve done Carlisle.

Weekend away staying in Lancaster, ostensibly so we weren’t drinking all the way up on the Saturday.

Drinking competition on the train on Friday instead with a stag party from Milton Keynes going to Blackpool. Night out in Lancaster where @Carrot Cruncher nearly burned down a curry house and another mate climbed a statue.

Three hours sleep later I had alcohol poisoning and couldn’t drink at all on the Saturday. 0-0 draw stone cold sober. Five hour train journey home next to the Tax Man who was at the alternating between Bright Eyes and I Think We’re Alone Now stage. Cab to Stamford Bridge to stay in the Chelsea hotel with Mrs GB who had been there on a corporate jolly.

I’m on 71. All with Albion. Got it in my head I’ll complete them one day but will have to be special trips I suspect not normal Albion away days as all now league one or league two.

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

85 current grounds.

trouble is the 92 has changed so much over the course of my lifetime alone, you’ve really got to extend it to include 5 divisions at least. Even then, I’ve been to Chester, Hereford and Bury as league clubs who aren’t even in the Conference now. Yet not been to several PL grounds, old or new versions.

That lines up with the few teams I don't think we've played, what about Sutton? Have we ever played them?

We haven't, but I ticked them off with a couple of mates last season. Sutton Utd 1-2 Salford. Think it was an international weekend or something as they were doing a deal on entry if you showed your season ticket for any other club.

Played Sutton in a preseason match in July 2002. 1-0 to the Albion with Paul Rogers returning to one of his former clubs

 

[Dinner with Gotsmanov]

72 of the current 92 Grounds, all with the Albion.

I did Carlisle away in ‘84, great day.

Ticking off Barrow in Tuesday . It’s a very long drive! Four left to do which will go up to six if the current top two in the National League go up

 

[Peacehaven Wild Kids]

I’ve done about 20 Greyhound tracks, probably abut 16 of them don’t exist anymore.

but that’s nothing to do with this thread is it?

Pubs are better in Ulverston or Dalton. Barrow is just depressing. Although the Duke of Edinburgh is okay, and the Spoons is the usual Spoons if you like some rowdy pre-match grub.

Nice gesture. How much did they give you?

I’m staying in Ulverston so will take up your recommendation

I remember a few years ago somebody I knew who was in his 80s saying he had just completed having a pint in every Brighton/Hove pub

I once too a week off work with the intention of having a drink in every pub within half-a-mile radius of the clock tower. I think there were 85 at the time (all worked out with a map and the yellow pages), and of course we were hampered by opening hours and having to mill around after 3pm. I think we made it to day three, and couldn't cope any further!

Farmers Arms & The Mill good for food, Rose & Crown pretty decent, and the Stan Laurel for proper beer.

How does it work if you've been to a ground (for me it's Roker Park, Sunderland) but not been to the replacement (SOL)?

You have to go to their current ground

Thanks for the recommendations

82 for me. Missing Stevenage, Fleetwood, Barrow, Harrogate, Wimbledon (new), Newport, Morecambe, Salford, Forest Green

But its amazing how many in the National League we've been to with the Albion; Cheaterfield, Aldershot, Barnet, Oldham, Halifax, Rochdale, Dagenham, York, Southend, Scunthorpe, Chester, Scarborough, Hereford, Darlington, Yeovil, Torquay,

 

[Bodian]

Thanks for the recommendations

I think you probably need to try them all to see what you think though!
