boundaryblue80 Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 59...only ever seen us regularly from 1997 onwards as I've always had to fund it myself (Dad's a Leeds fan...so no chance of him taking me as a kid...except to the major games.) Being stuck in this division, it's harder to chalk up the grounds when there's no promotions or relegations....visited many, many, many grounds at this level. Only good thing about the teams entering this division next season is I get to chalk off Norwich, Southampton, Charlton and Exeter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oafc_ok Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 (edited) 72 Current League Grounds (71 watching Latics, the other being the Pirelli) 84 Current League Clubs (all watching Latics) 123 different grounds watching Latics (Yes, I'm counting friendlies and Reserves/Youth matches) 138 Grounds in total. Will add Exeter, Southampton and Charlton to my current League Grounds next season. Went to the Dell so will only add 2 to my total of League clubs. Reason for Edit: Can't count! Reason for Edit 2: Forgot Rotherham aren't at Millmoor any more! Reason for Edit 3: Forgot Cardiff aren't at Ninian Park any more!

Will add Exeter, Southampton and Charlton to my current League Grounds next season. Went to the Dell so will only add 2 to my total of League clubs. I must admit my definition of 'grounds' in the 138 total is a bit lax. It includes the following: Bass Meadows - Burton v Forest in the Bass Charity Vase Peel Croft, home of Burton Rugby Club - Wolves (featuring a young Stan Collymore) in the same competition Marstons Sports Ground - Marstons Brewery v Wrexham (featuring Joey Jones) in a friendly Also includes Parkhead, Easter Road, Nou Camp, Bognor Regis Town, Gresley Rovers, Dundalk, Shelbourne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My approach to the 92 Club is to only count a ground when I have seen Latics play at that ground. With that in mind I have seen the boys in blue play on 75 different grounds including the Old Wembley. But given the number of new grounds, there are many that will have to wait for a while methinks...looking forward to St Mary's this season and also Eastfields and Emirates in the future.

oafc_ok Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 Just had to knock 2 off my 'Current League grounds' total due to Rotherham not being at Millmoor (I forgot!) and Cardiff not being at Ninian Park. Do any other League clubs have a move planned? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oafc_ok Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 ....Sutton Coldfield and Tamworth. And Latics teams of various levels at: Hednesford The Cliff (ManUre training ground) Newcastle Town Alfreton Town Hinckley United Stalybridge Celtic Ancona Genoa Chasetown Clyde Stranraer Stirling Albion Castletown IoM King's Lynn Leigh RMI Minehead NSC, Douglas IoM Douglas Bowl, IoM Peel IoM Ramsey IoM Wembley I bet there's a few you could add to that Diego Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DerekWilson_1968 Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 (edited) 87 for me at the moment. 88 with Exeter this year. The only oustanding grounds will be Aldershot, Dagenham & Redbridge, Barnet & Morecombe. Did Burton in the cup under Davros. Cheers, Harry. Edit. All watching Latics Add Darlo and that's me done; so 86. Shed loads of others though, I think they should bring back re-election. Probably do Exeter this year - Walshy, Dan, fancy one of them liddle iddy biddy planes again to Plymouth to meet Chip for the jolly? A pint in the airport and then two cans of stella and a breakfast roll to start with me thinks! Derek.

garcon Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 It depends on what rules you use. It ranges from 51 for current grounds of current league clubs excluding friendlies, to something like 62 if you include current and old grounds of current and ex-league clubs including friendlies... So, by the rules of the original post (current clubs, including old grounds, excluding friendlies) I think it's 58... Hopefully I'll be adding anything up to 10 grounds (plus a cup trip to The Emirates?!) on the road with Latics next season! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ketsbaia Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 Having discussed our away games for next year this got me thinking of the current 92 clubs I only have 8 left to complete the entire set of watching Latics in a competetive game All very well, titch, but how many do you actually remember?
