Matchday Experience of a neutral v Blackpool
Views: 756
Burnley fan in peace here. I'm trying to get around all 92 league grounds and Friday's game against Blackpool was my 90th. It obviously wasn't the result Stevenage were looking for, I don't know if it's of interest but I've made a short mobile phone video of my matchday experience as a neutral.
Any fans on here done the 92 or getting close?
I enjoyed the day, spoke with a friendly chap in the West Stand. Good luck for the remaining games and next season.
The video can be found here:

Getting there. I'm left with long trips from Cheshire, to mainly Premiership grounds. The North East, South Wales and South Coast are particular areas I need to focus on!
I've done a ton of non-league grounds as well as generally I find them more interesting, more accessible and a better overall experience.

I’ve done all 92 grounds and would recommend anyone to try and do them. As a neutral on most games I’ve met some interesting people and good and bad grounds. I’ve also completed all 42 Scottish grounds and attended a game at Alloa in mid winter mid week at night and found out later there was another Boro supporter attending.

Just updated mine on footballgroundmap.com
I've done 116 grounds but only 65 out of the current 92 as I only really go to Stevenage games and we don't get the opportunity to play many PL / Championship clubs.
I have apparently done:
100% of L1 clubs
92% of L2 clubs (just Bromley and AFC Wimbledon not done).
71% of National League clubs.

I have done just under 200 grounds, cannot remember the exact number right now.
And done 72 of the 92, missing Bromley and all of those in the PL and Champ who we have never played.
Hoping we get Cardiff and/or Hull relegated for another one or two next season.

Found my spreadsheet, have done 143 grounds:
- 30 international/non club (e.g. Wembley/Millennium)
- 55 current non league teams or non existing, e.g. Rushden
- 58 current league team grounds, although I have done 2 for Doncaster (old and new), so only 57/92, and of those 57, 5 of them were their old ground not current ground (Brentford, Burton, Morecambe, Swansea and Spurs)

Nope!
I'm not counting Hitchin either, I was on the bench for a Sunday league cup final there but have never paid to watch a game there

Royston is good. Similar low iq level as Boro fans,but less violent

Very good, I can appreciate the effort needed to get to that kind of number. I've seen Burnley at 62 current league grounds, but always take the chance to see a game if there's one nearby.
How about Europe, have you seen any there? I've done a few. Barcelona, PSG, Inter, both Madrid clubs (on the same day!) etc and World Cup in Moscow, 2018. There are videos of some on the channel.
I'm going to lose at least one at the end of the season with Barnet coming up and replacing one I've already done.

Gone to ground on other countries but never attended a foreign game. Unless you count Jersey.
