Lets hope, depends alot on how the new 7 teams to this league perform really.

Unfortunately I can see several of them doing very well next season.

On NSC for over two decades...
42 according to Facebook - though a couple of those are non-league grounds, and some don't exist any more (I'm still waiting for an opportunity to get to Walsall's "new" ground having been to Fellows Park many years ago :lol:)!!

Are we counting grounds that we've visited, or only grounds at which we've actually watched football?

I've done the tours at OT (wasn't that impressed) and Camp Nou (was very impressed), but not yet watched a game at either (don't much want to see one at OT, Camp Nou is definitely on the 'to-do' list though).

High up on the South Downs.
121 competitive games with the Albion - first away was Charlton in 1961. Saturday was the third home ground for Bristol Rovers. Don't know whether to count Bourne mouth's Fitness First as a new ground.

206 in total at the moment (it will be more than that as don't double count when teams move to new grounds - I make it about 230 different grounds)

I have seen the following at more than one "home ground"

Brighton x 3
Charlton x 3 (The Valley, Selhurst Park, Upton Park)
Coventry City (Highfield Road & Ricoh Arena)
Derby (Baseball Ground & Pride Park)
Stoke (Victoria Ground & Britannia Stadium)
Hull (Boothbery Park & KCC Stadium)
Wimbledon (Plough Lane & Selhurst Park)
Reading (Elm Park & Madjeski)
Scunthorpe (Old Show Ground & Glandford Park)
Millwall (Den & New Den)
Northampton (County Ground & Sixfields)
Walsall (Fellows park & Bescot)
Wigan (Spingfield & JJB)
Bristol Rovers (Twerton & Memorial)
Sunderland (Roker Park & Stadium of Light)
Doncaster (Belle View & Keepmoat)
Chester (Sealand Road & Deva)
Leicester (Filbert Street & Walkers)
Middlesbrough (Ayresome & Riverside)
Southampton (Dell & St Marys)
Huddersfield (Leeds Raod & Mcalpine)
Swansea (Vetch & Liberty)

I still need to go to the new grounds (having done the old grounds) at

Arsenal
Man City
Darlington
Shrewsbury
Bolton Wanderers
Oxford United
Colchester (from next season)

I have seen England at 63 different grounds (73 away games in total).

Everton, Morecombe, Accrington and Dagenham are still places I have never seen the Albion play at. I have seen Everton play at home when I first wanted to finish the 92 but we never got drawn against them in the cups!! Missed that trip in the old first divison days!

Most other grounds are when Brighton have played non league teams in the cups or pre-season friendly matches plus all the teams we played against in the league that have dropped out into the conference!

I have been to Rangers, Hibs & Falkirk for Scottish league games.

I have seen Albion in a Pre-season tour of Portugal, in various places in Ireland and Le Havre.

I saw one game in Australia (Brisbane 1999) when I went out for the Ashes tour!

It was indeed! I still have a video of a TV docuementary with you doing "lets all have a disco" after the last minute winner against Belgium in Bologna to take us into the quater-finals! I was 21 at the time and it was a superb 4 weeks away, nearly got sacked as i phoned my boss from outside the ground in Bologna to say I wouldn't be back until England got knocked out!!!!!!

18 years following England abroad, I cant believe its been that long!

Its amazing how it all used to be Union Jacks and now its all St Georges crosses!
