My uncle was up in Glasgow about 10 years back and he was at a garage filling up when he recognized his surroundings a bit having been born and brought up in Glasgow. He noticed a large wall on one side of the garage, he asked where he was and was told that the wall used to be part of Third Lanarks ground that he used to visit frequently as a kid.! Kind of non related but I needed to share it with ya'll

A bit random, but I might have to add this to my list.



Another good shout. Not a big fan of Rugby League mind.

I did call by Peel Park which was the former home of Accrington Stanley in the old league days when I went to see them v Cheltenham three weeks back. Its still a park pitch and there was a game in progress so I suppose I can add that to my list although I only saw about two minutes of the match.

My dad used to be on the turnstiles at Peel Park though I only ever saw Stanley at The Crown Ground

Bower fold is a great shout mate, especially as I have been:lol:. Saw FC United of Manchester there a few years back v Hednesford on a Sunday on the way back from a Swansea v Sunderland game.

Merthyr never made it to the football league although they did make it as far as the conference so they fail to make the list.

Darwen played their football league games at a ground called Barley Bank and only moved to Anchor Park in 1899 which was after the left the league.

Think I've seen the lads at eight of them, but am a little surprised you've managed to miss a couple of the more frequently played such as Tranmere or York. Mind you I know you have a canny list all told ;)
 
Millmoor at Rotherham is still there isn't it? At least I could see the floodlights from their new home at our pre season friendly

Its the sort of daft thing I would do if we were playing Brighton and it got shifted to a Friday/Sunday or late or early Saturday kick off. I am quite happy to try and knock off the likes of Wrexham and Southport along with my remaining league grounds but as you say, that ones a bit of a stretch for a game at the level they play at.

Looking at doing Crawley Town and Gillingham double header on Saturday. Long drive but justifiable (to me) as I can get two done in one hit, not doing Bournemouth as none of the lads fancied it after knocking it off last season. Also doing Stevenage with my daughters boyfriend the week after as its the International break. Making canny progress into the 92 this season as those three will take me to 8 new ones in England this season and three in Scotland. Still leaves me with 19 to go in England and 2 in Scotland but I am getting there and actively targeting them now.

I'll be at the Crawley game on Saturday, then I can tick off nearby Three Bridges at 3pm.
 
I know it's north of the border but you have Meadow bank stadium. Meadow bank thistle now Livingstone played there. Now used by Edinburgh City.

Sorry about the peculiar double post. It's early!

I am trying to do the 92 and have realised that even though I have only done 70 of the current 92, I have already seen a game at 92 football league grounds past or present. I have done 16 grounds that have been demolished and 6 that are still in use.

Question is, have I missed any ex Football League grounds that are still in use?

The ones I can think of are (Been to the ones in bold);

Darlington Arena - Darlington
Victoria Road - Dagenham and Redbridge
Sincil Bank - Lincoln City
Prenton Park - Tranmere Rovers
Holker Street - Barrow
Moss Rose - Macclesfield Town
Recreation Ground - Aldershot
Deva Stadium - Chester City
The Racecourse - Wrexham
Plainmoor - Torquay United
Bootham Crescent - York City
Haig Avenue - Southport
The Shay - Halifax Town
Edgeley Park - Stockport County
Derwent Park - Workington Town

Must be the odd one I have missed?

Edit: Ignore this post. Would have been better if I'd bothered to read the whole thread
