ladysaint Posted 4 February, 2013 Share Posted 4 February, 2013 What I mean are there any more grounds in the current 92 that Saints have not yet at played. I have about 8 more grounds to go out of the current 92 but not sure if Saints have ever played at these grounds or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen Saints at Rotherham, Cup game, Bart was awful and we got mullered; Perhaps they have a new ground since then though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ladysaint Posted 4 February, 2013 Author Share Posted 4 February, 2013 They are non league. They are now thats the trouble trying to keep up with the 92 all the time, only chance you have of doing all 92 is if we get them in the cup or drop to L2 (hopefully not the latter).

JRM Posted 4 February, 2013 Share Posted 4 February, 2013 conventionally members of "the 92" just see a game at the ground , doesn't have to be a saints game , as otherwise unless you're a luton / skates / Bradford there's no chance of doing it. I'm up to 78 grounds now out of current 92 not sure when I'll get to do the northern league 2 ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Who? Posted 4 February, 2013 Share Posted 4 February, 2013 I think old grounds should count as new ones are coming up all the time. Yes if you can get to the new ones then all the better. I am on 68 including old grounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldsarum Posted 4 February, 2013 Share Posted 4 February, 2013 I agree. 82 plus 7 currently in the Conference prem. After Saturday I'm now on 81 for clubs at their current grounds + 4 clubs (Shrewsbury, AFC Wimbledon [Plough Lane + Selhurst Park], Oxford United and Rotherham [Millmooor + Don Valley Stadium]) at their old grounds, of those 81 / 85 only at Aldershot have I never seen Saints play. Also seen Saints in league or FA / League cups at league at several clubs no longer in Football League, Stockport, Scarborough, Wrexham, Luton, Grimsby, Lincoln, Hereford and Mansfield.

Eric The Red Posted 4 February, 2013 Share Posted 4 February, 2013 Well oldsarum I'm impressed and a little dubious On Saturday i went to my 100th ground but I've only seen Saints at 80 of the current 92 and for at least 3 of these (Rotherham, Wimbledon and Oxford united) not their current ground As well as those three there are 11 teams who I can't remember us playing a competitive first team game at their current ground. These are: Crawley Town Bury Cheltenham T Burton Albion Fleetwood Town Chesterfield Morecambe York City Accrington Stanley Aldershot Barnet Which of these have I got wrong or are you counting friendlies/reserve games?

Barnet was a pre-season friendly in 2010. York was an FA Cup 4th rd tie in 1971. In my count of 82 I included Aldershot as I went to a league cup match against Norwich back in 1984. Didnt see much as it was played in thick fog and we had to ask Bryan Gunn who had scored. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldsarum Posted 5 February, 2013 Share Posted 5 February, 2013 The Barnet and Cheltenham games were pre-season friendlies we've played both teams two or three times I went to York for 89/90 League cup game which we on 1-0 and had Ray Wallace sent off on last of minute, but we alsio played at York in the old Div 2 in 74/75 and 75/76, besides the FA Cup match We also played a friendly at Aldershot back in 70's/ 80's and one more recently at Oxford 's new ground but I never attended either of these games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The9 Posted 5 February, 2013 Share Posted 5 February, 2013 Rules are here : http://www.ninetytwoclub.org.uk/nineq.htm You will note "(2) Any recognised competition normally entered by Football/Premier League Clubs at first-team level may be included. Friendly matches do not count." They have also recently removed the (seriously anal) rules which meant if a team dropped out of the league and was promoted back in, games from their previous spell didn't count ! Nicely, they also allow "In the case of clubs moving grounds, either the original ground or the new ground can be counted during the first two seasons following the move. Once the club has played at the new ground for two seasons then the original ground becomes invalid and thereafter only the new ground can be counted within the 92."

The9 Posted 5 February, 2013 Share Posted 5 February, 2013 "On the day the "92nd" ground is visited, the qualifier must have visited the current grounds of the other 91 clubs in the League at that time. In recognition of this achievement, the qualifier may then claim to become a Member of an exclusive club of football supporters who follow League soccer and wear their 92 Club insignia with pride knowing that in over 30 years less than 1500 other fans have "done the lot"."

Fan The Flames Posted 6 February, 2013 Share Posted 6 February, 2013 Nicely, they also allow "In the case of clubs moving grounds, either the original ground or the new ground can be counted during the first two seasons following the move. Once the club has played at the new ground for two seasons then the original ground becomes invalid and thereafter only the new ground can be counted within the 92." That rule ruins it in my opinion, it's about going to the 92 clubs not their grounds. The 92 should be more than collecting all the grounds it should be a representation of your footballing life. For instance my 50 odd includes a 1 nil away win for Plymouth Argyle, my dads team, in the FA cup at the Baseball Ground that I would have to swap for what could be a meaningless game at Pride Park. What about your first away game with your mates, the game that so and so got arrested for drunk and disorderly, first game at Pompey, none of them will count if the team moves.

It seems to be all about the grounds and not the clubs, in which case why should it matter if you only watch a reserve team playing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pancake Posted 6 February, 2013 Share Posted 6 February, 2013 I wonder how long it would take to do all 92 if you were really dedicated with an endless supply of cash? (and relevant transport options - helicopter?) I guess if you planned it well you could tick off 3 or so each "league" weekend, maybe 1 midweek. Add Cup weekends (JPT, FA, League, Europe), the odd international friendly too... could it be done in a single season? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definatley not Before Northampton moved to Sixfields I'd been to the old County Ground to watch Cricket and during a break in play walked on football pitch and terraces, but never considered that counted. In my view you have to have watched a game So for that reason I wouldn't count although I've visited Olympic Stadium Berlin, Bernabau, Rapid Vienna and Ernst-Happel-Stadion in Vienna.
