'Doing The 92' Thread

It's all a load of Cannonballs in here! This is the virtual Arsenal pub where you can chat about anything except football. Be warned though, like any pub, the content may not always be suitable for everyone.

Here is another photo of the main stand at Holker St.

They used to be a league club but dropped out in the 70's, this ground has been used for home matches for over 100 years now and they are currently in the Blue Square Premier.

Just got tickets for Leyton Orient v Peterborough towards the end of april, that'll be 17 grounds done.

As for neutral games I usually find watching them fine, although I usually end up siding with one team for the afternoon which makes it a bit more interesting I suppose.

Not sure if this is of interest but for all you budding groundhoppers -

If you are fed up with the current state of our mess and want to get away from it all, have the day free on Monday then you maybe should try this -

It is always part of a ground hoppers to do list due to the history surrounding it. So what could be better than the 150th Anniversary game.

GG will be there and the first drinks are on me! :-P

A chance to tick St Mary's off the list for just a tenner. Keep the football season going for a couple more weeks. It's on Sunday, 5/6/2011, 3pm.

My list isn't particularly impressive, hoping to substantially bump it up a bit next season. Aside from Red Bull Arena, these are all grounds i've been to for Arsenal matches, I don't go to watch other teams :lol:
