Oafc88 Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 Was wondering about this the other night with me dad, an thought it would be interesting to see how many i have been to, apologies if this was done a while back and i missed it. The grounds ive been to so far during my 15 (19 now) or so years following latics (other footy in brackets): The Premiership Wigan Derby Everton Birmingham (Birmingham vs Arsenal) Man City (New, England Friendly) The Championship Hull Burnley (England under 20's) Wolves Barnsley Blackpool PNE Scunthorpe Colchester League One Notts Forest Leeds Walsall Tranmere Huddersfield Hartlepool Gillingham Crewe Luton Bournemouth Port Vale League Two Bradford Mk Dons (The crappy hockey stadium) Rotherham Peterborough Chesterfield Rochdale Stockport Bury Accrington Stanley Maccelsfield Town Notts County Wrexham Think i make that about 38 though i think i included the old wembley too so make it 39. How about the rest of you?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankly Mr Shankly Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 According to that Facebook application thing which you count up on I'd done about 94 altogether. I think out of a possible 130* or something. Includes old AND new grounds (i.e. Middlesborough: Ayresome Park & The Riverside for example).

Latics and England Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 I have done a few - over the years I've got 5 current league grounds that I haven't done. None left in our division and only really the new grounds in the Prem and Championship. Still about half of League 2 though. All have been done watching Latics.

Hometownclub Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 I must have done about 70ish over about 30 years, I've done a lot of the old ones like Victoria Ground, Baseball Ground, Molineux, Ayresome Park, Highfield Road, The Dell etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philliggi Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 (edited) I must have done about 70ish over about 30 years, I've done a lot of the old ones like Victoria Ground, Baseball Ground, Molineux, Ayresome Park, Highfield Road, The Dell etc. at last count, i was on 65 in 17 years watching latics, but that includes old grounds like springfield park (wigan) and non-league grounds in the cup (kings lynn etc) going to every match home and away last season helped me massively, be interesting to actually sit down and add them up again, but until someone puts a list up of every team in the country i cant be bothered looking into it myself Edited February 12, 2008 by philliggi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Dowds Green Shirt Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 Currently standing at 89 (either current or old or both grounds) of the present 92 league teams. If you add in the conference premier etc of ex league clubs there are a further 7, Torquay, Cambridge, York, Oxford, Rushden, Halifax & Southport taking me to 96. All watching the mighty blues. Then theres St. Mirren (Anglo Scottish cup), Wembley of course. Besides grounds where I have watched the tics, I've been to Barcelona, Tenerife, seen Mallorca (but not a game) Went to Frankfurt for the world cup (didn't get in) Benfica for Euro 2004 and a few non league grounds for cup games and friendlies. The currenty league grounds I haven't seen the tics on are Barnet, Dagenham and Morecombe for obvious reasons. Hopefully 1 day I will be able to say that I have been on the "current 92 to see the Latics." Cheers, Harry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
