Football grounds you've been to

Jennifer Steadman · Post by **Jennifer Steadman** » Thu Apr 13, 2017 12:29 pm

I think I've been to 18 different grounds to see games (5 league grounds, 13 non-league grounds) and 2 as a tourist (national stadiums in Kosovo and Macedonia). Considering I've been going to watch football for the last decade, that's not a lot. I imagine some people here will have lost count of the number of stadiums they've been to.

Which ones have you been to? Which ones were your favourites and least favourites?

My 18 are:
League - Huish Park (Yeovil Town), Home Park (Plymouth Argyle), Stamford Bridge (Chelsea), Priestfield (Gillingham), Elland Road (Leeds United)
Non-league - Longmead (Tonbridge Angels), Homelands (Ashford United, but it was when Maidstone were groundsharing there), Treyew Road (Truro City), Gorings Mead (Horsham + Horsham YMCA), York Road (Maidenhead United), Hayes Lane (Bromley), The Gallagher Stadium (Maidstone United), Queen Elizabeth Stadium (Enfield Town), Victory Road (Leiston), Champion Hill (Dulwich Hamlet), Rookery Hill (East Thurrock United), Leylands Park (Burgess Hill Town), Colston Avenue (Carshalton Athletic)

Favourites are Longmead (obviously, although visiting groundhoppers tend to like it as well), Victory Road (very basic, but it was a sweet little ground) and Champion Hill (good bar). I quite enjoyed how non-league the Pristina City Stadium was too - unbelievable that it will host international cup qualifiers!

Worst ones were Rookery Hill (incredible that it's considered up to Conference South standards - to get to the toilets, I had to go through a hall hosting a children's karate class!!) and Gorings Mead (absolute sand pit). Home Park was a bit tragic because loads of the seats in front of me had been ripped out when Plymouth were in dire financial straits, and Elland Road was a weird experience because Cardiff's fans boycotted the game.

Not sure I can count going to the car park of the ground

Mark James · Post by **Mark James** » Thu Apr 13, 2017 3:50 pm

I've been to more than 20 in Ireland. 2 in England. 2 in Poland. 1 in Scotland. 1 in Germany. 1 in the Netherlands.

Favourites would be my home team's ground Richmond Park, the national stadium of Ireland the Aviva and the one in Germany which was Hannover 96's ground. Can't remember the name. Those are favourites due to the games played there rather than the stadiums themselves though.

I'm never really impressed by stadiums on their own. They're usually just concrete behemoths. It's the atmosphere and occasion that makes it. Was in Celtic Park when they qualified for Champions League a few years back and you could feel the concrete moving. It was amazing. Old Trafford on the other hand was shite. Seriously lacking atmosphere although they were beaten by Leeds. Would like to go back for a European fixture.

Least favourite though is Oriel Park, home to Dundalk in the League of Ireland. Place is a death trap. Horrible for away fans.

Idiot. Another one for my list.

Wasn't CO:HUD at the Huddersfield grounds as well? If so, I'm already on two.

Actually I have been to a few more. I've got a friend who is an Oxford United fan, and I've somehow been forced into going to a few games with him. As well as Oxford United's ground (I have half a feeling they moved as well so that would count twice if so) I think I've been to Reading and Lewes.

Jack Worsley · Post by **Jack Worsley** » Thu Apr 13, 2017 6:44 pm

I've done 12 in total. In order of first visit, they are: Old Trafford (Man Utd), DW Stadium (Wigan, then called the JJB Stadium), Bloomfield Road (Blackpool), Christie Park (Morecambe old), Stamford Bridge (Chelsea), Valley Parade (Bradford), Gigg Lane (Bury), Wembley, Holker Street (Barrow), Etihad Stadium (Man City, but was England's friendly against Turkey last year), Brunton Park (Carlisle) and the Globe Arena (Morecambe new). I also went on a stadium tour of the Nou Camp (Barcelona) while on holiday in 2006 but I'm not sure it counts if you didn't watch a match.

Wembley was a great day out on both occasions (when Blackpool won promotion to the Premier League and also went the following year to watch Mansfield Town, but lost the FA Trophy final against Darlington). Bloomfield Road was always a good atmosphere before the hostility towards the owners and boycotting of matches by fans started. My least favourite has to be Bradford. The away end and surrounding areas were grotty and unsightly, and yet the stadium has hosted Premier League football as recently as 2001. Holker Street was also a shithole but that's more understandable for non-league grounds.

Euan Slatter · Post by **Euan Slatter** » Thu Apr 13, 2017 8:31 pm

Ashton Gate, Millennium Stadium, Wembley Stadium, Bristol Road. So 4...

Plus Cardiff City Stadium in May

Matt Bayfield · Post by **Matt Bayfield** » Thu Apr 13, 2017 11:23 pm

I've seen either club or international football matches at:

Carrow Road (Norwich City)
De Kuip (Feyenoord)
The Valley (Charlton Athletic)
National Hockey Stadium (MK Dons, former stadium)
Wembley Stadium (England)
Stonebridge Road (Ebbsfleet United)
Vicarage Road (Watford)

There are other football grounds which I've intentionally visited for reasons other than seeing football. From memory, these include St James' Park (Newcastle Utd), Liberty Stadium (Swansea CIty), Deva Stadium (Chester City), Kirklees Stadium (Huddersfield Town), Stadium:MK (MK Dons), Amsterdam ArenA (Ajax), Rheinpark Stadion (FC Vaduz), Old Trafford (Manchester Utd). I've also walked past several grounds, including Stamford Bridge (Chelsea), just because I happened to be visiting somewhere nearby. In theory, I've also visited West Ham United's current home, the London Stadium, but that was during the 2012 Paralympics, before it was converted to football use.

David Williams · Post by **David Williams** » Thu Apr 13, 2017 11:42 pm

Quiz question. Two different grounds, on each of which I've seen three different teams play a home game.

Edward McCullagh · Post by **Edward McCullagh** » Fri Apr 14, 2017 9:24 am

I've watched football matches at:

Anfield (Liverpool 1-1 Chelsea, 1998)
Parkhead (Celtic 2 or 3-1 Dunfermline or Kilmarnock, 2006-7)
Windsor Park (Northern Ireland 0-2 Israel, 2013)
Longmead (Tonbridge 1-1 Staines, 2013)
White Hart Lane (Spurs 3-1 Dnipro, 2014)
Etihad Stadium (Man City 0-2 Arsenal, 2015)
Camp Nou (Barcelona 6-1 Roma, 2015)
Old Trafford (Man United 3-2 Arsenal, 2016)
Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan (Sevilla 2-1 Valencia, 2016)

I've also been to the following stadia/grounds for other sports:
Casement Park, Clones and Croke Park (GAA)
Wembley (rugby and NFL)
Murrayfield (rugby)

Best experience was seeing this goal
Worst experience was sitting through 80 minutes of Scotland 6-9 Argentina on a cold and murky November afternoon at Murrayfield.

There must be lots of example of three teams having used the same ground over a short period, but the only one which springs to my mind immediately for English professional clubs is Selhurst Park (Crystal Palace, Charlton Athletic, Wimbledon).

Anfield ~15 times
Upton Park/Boleyn Ground ~15 times
Wembley ~5 times
Victoria Road (Dagenham and Redbridge) ~50 times

Can't be bothered to check the names of the stadiums for the following teams as all are less than 3 times:
Bromley
Aveley
East Thurrock United
Concord Rangers
Romford
Hornchurch

Probably missing a few off this list.

Jack Worsley · Post by **Jack Worsley** » Sat Apr 15, 2017 11:49 am

Loftus Road? QPR's home ground, Fulham played there from 2002-04 and it also seems like the sort of ground that might host an England U21 match or something.

29 in total I think but I've probably missed a few. I will just list a couple of highlights and lowlights.
Highlights:
Salisbury City (their old ground) - after which I got proposed to.
Leeds winning promotion in 1991 at Dean Court (Bournemouth)
Lowlights:
Pretty much everything since 1992 at Elland Rd
Wembley - Watching Leeds lose the league cup final to Aston Villa in 1996 with an abysmal performance
Mangotsfield (watching Halesowen Town) - worst racism I've ever encountered.

Who is online
