Any regulars on here a member of the 92 Club? scratchchin

The "proper" members have been to see a match at every one. I'm well short myself, reckon I'm in the forties maybe at the most. Good fun trying to tick them all off but then get thwarted by clubs moving grounds or promotion and relegation and slipping back down.

I went round all 92 clubs inside a fortnight in 1998 and my lads and I are going round again in August for a couple of charities (see my website via profile). Going to be a great fortnight and although it won't be the proper 92 club, I'm determined to have good fun doing it; just need a hotel chain, a car rental firm and a fuel card company to join me! hehe

I'm only at 53, plus another six teams where I've been to the old ground but not their current one. And 8 who were in the league at the time but are now in the conference.

Quite a way to go to complete the set

The proper club is seeing your team play at the ground, currently I'm in the high 40's and barring any cup games next season won't shift at all.

It helps if you follow Pompey or Wolves or a club that's done the top to bottom div or visa versa. Chelsea fan here, did quite a few in the 70s & 80s when we yoyo'd between the top two ties. We flirted with the drop to the 3rd tier in 83/84 but a draw against the mighty Grimsby on the last day of the season kept us up.

Just had a go at updating my list with current leagues teams.

So it looks like I've seen Blackpool play away against 59 of the current 92 league teams @ 46 current grounds and 20 old grounds. Teams where I've seen current and old grounds include Stoke, Bolton, Huddersfield, Hull, Doncaster, Wigan, Northampton.

So a bit to go before I can join the 92 club.



I've also seen us at 13 teams (12 current grounds and 2 old grounds) from outside the top 4 leagues.

+ seen us on 8 visits to the Old Wembley (2 times), New Wembley (3 times) and the Millenium Stadium (3 times).

So I think that works out at 72 other clubs, 58 current grounds, 22 old grounds and 2 national stadiums, so 80 different grounds in total.

Wish I'd done more of the Prem grounds whilst we had our season their, especially against the bigger teams who are unlikely to get relegated, as I cannot see us getting backup their. Just have to hope we get them in a cup game.

Not really a New Year Resolution, but this year I've decided to try to visit some more grounds - my tally has fallen to 52 now since Hartlepool got relegated. Not doing the 'true 92' by watching my own team at each ground as that could take for ever ... though I might get to some Championship grounds next season the way things are going. Our cup game at Exeter this weekend has only 300 tickets available, which means I'll have to go there some other time, so I'm kicking off the new year with Forest Green Rovers on Saturday. Could well be another "ex-league team, now in the Conference" next year, but it will count for a few months.

I've seen Donny playing at somewhere in the region of 130 grounds (including many a pre-season non-league fixture at some very obscure clubs).

Also seen them playing at Millennium Stadium and Wembley (in consecutive seasons).

I'm nowhere near the league 92 though because we've not played at a lot of the Premier League grounds and there are a few others I've missed along the way when we have been there (e.g. King Power) and new grounds that I've not yet been to e.g. Chesterfield.

At a quick count, I've done 71 of the current 92 with about half a dozen old grounds with their replacements yet to be visited.
