How Many Have You . . (Trivia Question)

[el punal]

Returning from the Preston game on Saturday, a pass the time question popped up. How many different Football League teams have you seen the Albion play against?

A couple of qualifying points attached to this :

Firstly, the match had to be a competitive one (a League, FA Cup or Football League Cup fixture), not a friendly.

Secondly, at the time of playing, the opponents had to be in the Football League even if now they are in the Conference or out of existence - for example, Wrexham in the Conference, or Scarborough (who I believe were wound up).

Those of you of a certain age will probably score more having been around to watch the glory days in the old first division.

My total came to 107. Shows how old and decrepit I must be!

Best of luck.

How many teams have I seen Brighton play against? I haven't the foggiest but seeing as I've done about away 70 grounds following Brighton that the total figure is well in excess of 100.

I'm RUBBISH at remembering stuff like this, but of the current 92, plus Conference Prem, I think I've seen the Albion play against 92 of them. Because of your specific rules, I've NOT counted the additional likes of Northwich Victoria or Stafford Rangers.

It seems that the question includes home games. So a lot. Don't remember which ones though.

Well you certainly have an amzing memory, despite how old you might be, to remember every game that you have seen the Albion play over the years.

I know that I have visited about 60 grounds around the country supporting the club, but have absolutely no idea of who I have seen us play against at home.

 

[ThePompousPaladin]

Not a clue.

Both home and away. By the way, because of the Albion's relative recent history - the last 35 years, we've played in all four League divisions and therefore have played against a lot more different teams than, for example, Arsenal, who have been a top tier club in that time.

Not a clue.

Same number as me.

 

[Taybha]

I can only think of 2 current league teams i have never seen us play and they are Everton and Lincoln , hopefully scratch one of those off the list soon .


Edit forgot Fleetwood too .

I told you it was "a pass the time question"! It was a long old journey back from Preston. If you check the current tables both for League and Conference and just run down the teams that will jog the old memory!

And in what parallel universe are you living in? One where Lincoln is a current league team?

And in what parallel universe are you living in? One where Lincoln is a current league team?

Secondly, at the time of playing, the opponents had to be in the Football League even if now they are in the Conference or out of existence - Therefore the fact that currently Lincoln are a non league team is irrelevant

How are we treating AFC Wimbledon as the previous Wimbleldon before the franchise take over, or as a new club so we have only met them in the Checktrade Trophy with the U21 side

 

[Paul Reids Sock]

26 for absolute definite just by looking down the leagues but I would say well over 50 as can;t remember loads of the teams that I saw us play at Withdean, such as Stockport that has just come to mind.

My problem is that I will often do the same away games, so Cardiff away 3/4 times, same for Wednesday, Ipswich, Reading.

An interesting one though. i have a programme from every game I have been to and that must be well in excess of 200 over the last 15 years. The boy wants to go through them so i will dig them out this weekend as I now really want to know

 

[Gwylan]

No. It's not about irrelevant, it's not about including them in the list, it's the fact that Taybha described them as a current league team - that's clearly not the case.

I am in awe of your rainman like memory.

Crawley Town, when played in FACup were they a league side, I seem to recall they were non league at the time so should be excluded

And Stevenage as only friendlies and Checktrade
Also not think we have ever played Morecombe
