Not the same thing at all but I visited all 92 Premier and Football League grounds in 1998.
Organised sponsored car, arranged to collect loads of stuff (shirts, tickets, footballs, pennants etc) and sorted out free accommodation all the way around. Took me more than 3,200 miles in a little Fiesta and about sixteen days in total.
Only saw five or six games on the way round but met some great people along the way (Ole Gunnar Solksjaer, Kenny Dalglish). I vowed that I would keep up to date with the 92 grounds even though I don't qualify for the 92 Club. Sadly life has caught up with me now and I'm back to about 75 grounds visited and about 40 grounds where I have seen a game.
Sorry for the thread hijack. It was the best, most enjoyable thing I've ever done in my life and I managed to raise £4,750 for Macmillan Cancer Relief.
I bet that was really good and such a laugh on the way, and to raise money for such a good cause at the same time is even betterOrganised sponsored car, arranged to collect loads of stuff (shirts, tickets, footballs, pennants etc) and sorted out free accommodation all the way around.
