Thanks for cheap ticket updates lazymedia.

Was at Dagenham & Redbridge yesterday, they beat Charlton 2-1. 16 grounds visited now.

I ticked off another one yesterday with West Brom, only another 60 odd to go !

Can you count clubs who have changed grounds ? For example I saw Arsenal play at Highfield Road a few times, but haven't visited Coventry's new ground yet !

It depends on whether you want to join the 92 club at the end of it. Personally I wouldn't want to as they have stupid rules like 'friendlies don't count towards the 92' (google the 92 club) another one is, "if a club get relegated from the 92 and subsequently re-elected another year, you must re-visit the ground for it to count towards the 92"

Best thing to do is make your own criteria for it. Personally the only things Im bothered about it that the home team must be playing and it should be at the current ground.(eg, The Grove not Highbury.

Personally, my only criteria for new grounds is to watch a football match of any kind. Maybe we should have a 'Gooner 92 club' of our own?

Want a laugh? here's all the grounds that I went to from the 80's onward, that subsequently moved to new stadia, in no particular order;

Huddersfield (announced Galpharm development the week after Arsenal played there in League Cup)
Wimbledon
Southampton
Reading
Coventry
Brighton (next season)
Sunderland
Man. Citeh
Oxford
Cardiff
Stoke (went there when they went down with record low points, They won 2 home games that season, Arsenal and Manure!) Still a bunch of *word censored* even then
Colchester
Doncaster
Bolton
Middlesboro'
Chesterfield
Derby
And not forgetting the teams falling out of the league like York and Luton.

I've been stuck in the sixties numbers wise for years, beacuse every time I 'do' a new ground another bloody team that I went to moves.

Those 92 rules seem a bit much, especially that one about teams being relegated and returning from the football league.

The current ground rule seems fair enough though.

Do you guys enjoy the match when you visit these grounds? I've always been interested in The 92 Club and I love to visit new stadiums but watching games that don't involve Arsenal tends to bore me to death...

JMascis666 · Post by **JMascis666** » Mon Mar 21, 2011 4:41 pm

95% of my visits to ground were watching Arsenal.

I'm not a good neutral football fan there is always someone on one of the teams I don't like.

I was at charity game not so long ago and Justin Edinburgh was playing, and that was it straight away I wanted his team to lose !

I used to go to new grounds with an Aldershot supporting mate as well as Arsenal. He stopped going when they went bust. Now I pick new or newish grounds so I don't do a ground, and then they move.

A great website is this one for new developments;

Also help with parking, train travel, pubs and somewhere to eat.

Feel the same, mate.

I added another ground to my list over the weekend. Hopefully a picture is displayed below in all it's glory.

You can't beat a good old fashioned floodlight!
