I went to watch Dundee United play a Belgian team in 1978, it was 0-0 and the wettest, most miserable afternoon of my life up til then.... haven't been to a professional one since.

... but I never missed a single game our son played from when he was 8 until he left the team to go to university- they were all brilliant!

I had to go to Aston Villa FC many years ago for a works conference and I went to Moor Green FC ground for a summer fete about 55 years ago.
Never been to a match as I have no interest in the sport.

Probably knocking on close to 250 following club and international teams Did 83 Wales away games before I "hung my boots up" Obviously done a lot of duplicates / triplicates etc.

Must admit last few years I seem to have lost interest in football and not been to a live game for three years.

In my life of following Bolton Wanderers I have been to 72 grounds to watch them play. Some of them are where clubs have moved grounds so I had to go again an example being Baseball ground and Pride Park for Derby County.

You sound just like my B.I.L. He's done a similar number watching the whites, even went to Exeter for a midweek game when we only took one coach.

He's rather proud of being part of the lowest ever attendance at Burnden Park.

I'm a mere amateur on thirty odd. :smile:
 
Just three...

EOSA (Ely City)
Roots Hall (Southend United)
Emirates (Arsenal)

Motor racing circuits... Now that's a completely different kettle of fish... :laugh:

Probably around 30. I've watched football for 50 years. I've been to most local grounds many times watching Blackburn play away,then for the last 16 years I've watched quite a few of Accrington's away matches. Famous grounds wise I've been to Wembley twice,but although only 26 miles away I've never been to Old Trafford. Grounds abroad wise I saw Benfica beat Everton 5-0 in Lisbon.


I also saw The Rolling Stones play at Newcastle United's St James Park in 1982. Does that count?:smile:

Various, but I'm not going to list them all.

Most surreal - When I lived on the southside of Glasgow I used to occasionally go and watch Queens Park if the weather was too wet for hillwalking. Being in Hampden Park for a football match with a crowd of approx' 150 as once happened was a bizarre experience. The half-time pies were good though.

Scariest - Millwall, closely followed by West Ham.
 
Followed Villa home and away for 30 years ,and I must admit got a bit obsessive about visiting away grounds.
Have been to most grounds in England ,except some of the newer grounds. Have started going to Scottish grounds now , and ticked a good few off . I must say it is odd going to games as a neutral, so have adopted Greenock Morton as my Scottish team it's also my wife's team so a win win .
