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?

Odsal Stadium in Bradford. Bradford City moved there after the fire and sure we played there in the late 80s. Currently used by Bradford Bulls in the Rugga, assume this counts.
 
Is Prenton Park not there any more? Had a cracking Friday night down there once, we won there for the first time (I think), a local hotel let us kip in the bar (as National weekend and everywhere booked) and I won on the main race when we trundled into Aintree next day.

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.

Had a shite day at Tranmere. I studied in Liverpool so my bro and best mate came down for the game. Terrace was open, it pissed down non stop and we got walloped 4 0 iirc
 
Underhill? The old Barnet ground its still standing as it was and (please don't quote me on this) I am sure it is still used in some capacity for hire (school/county cup finals etc...) or at least it was not that long ago

It probably is to be fair.

Does anyone know what if anything is happening with Rushden and Diamonds old ground?



Yes. Its about a 5 min walk from Hampden Park and was the home of Queens Park at one point in the dim and distant past.

Think its still standing mate but ruined.

I think the London Broncos (Rugby League) use it as a training ground.
