Once you visit this site it becomes an instant favourite and its nice to have a different perspective on our local non -league teams seen from the eyes of a true football fan.
Well done ,

Hey Private Smith!

Love the Web site mate!

I can name one ground where I know you wont have been. I visited it earlier this year during my tour in Iraq on OP Telic.

I never actually seen a match played there, I just passed it on patrol!

The "AL SHAAB Stadium" in Baghdad. Its a wierd place Iraq as parts of it dont even look like they have been effected by the war. The ground has a 45,000 capacity! I dont think you would want to visit it though Private Smith, the place is a shit hole, never mind being dangerous!

See you at the next heed game!

Hey Shaun,

very nice site: a good idea indeed, great "picture of the month" (I truly love Eastern european floodlights!), interesting insights into minor league grounds in England and amusing pictures of past haircrimes. Thank you for letting me join your club!

Shaun - this is my blog. I do have a list of grounds on a word doc but have not counted (a few hundred though). If you look at my Morpeth Town post from last season you will see that I met your member no 26 - Alan Price. Smashing bloke, he gave me a lift back to Newcastle after the match. Regards to Alan if he is reading this.

If it is a profit to add me to your list, feel free. but I prefer, if you link my mainsite-adress www.asseltour.de and not only the groundlist.
so... see you on the grounds of the world.

Hi,
greets from Frankfurt. This is a very nice Site. In your Report about the Commerzbank Arena (for us it is still the "Waldstadion") you asked why our fan banners hang upside down. The reason is as follows. There are lots of supporters that had been punished by the offizials with a stadium ban because of dubios reasons. That's why many other Fans are showing solidarity with the punished guys and hang the banners this way.

Sorry for the bad english :-)

Hey, well done true journalism :P lol see ya soon daddykins :)

Shaun,
I can't believe how many "hits" there have been on my web site since you "plugged" it! Your site has been the top referrer over the past 30 days, even beating Google! I have been getting hits from all over the world!

Michael said...

Stumbled across your site the other day - great stuff! I reckon I've been to 94 grounds, including a couple that have since been knocked down. 100 by May?

Shaun said...

Glad your doing well in the 'hit parade' Keith. ;-)

Michael get in touch when you reach your ton. :-)

Smid, given the summer is likely to give you some time off and now there are 100 of us, can you tell us how many grounds we have collectively visited, current and defunct ?

Shaun said...

If I find a window in my schedule, then yes, a good idea, if you have any spare time then you could maybe do it and send me the details. ;-)

The new season has begun, 9th July and a new ground, Park View Road for Welling United 0 Charlton 1 in the pouring rain. Welling played 26 players during the game, a new record for me !

Well then, what about Penallt?

That's Llanelli's home ground (West Wales). We're the West Wales version of the Steelers!

I did once go to a real needle match - Russia v Hungary at the Luzhniki stadium in Moscow. I forget what the foul count was...BIG

Hi Shaun,
Hope you're keeping well? I have noticed that you've been roughly 100 ahead of me for a few years! Just to let you know I'm now on 521. My 500th was very inauspicious - a midweek trip on my todd to Studley. Booked a ticket for Dumfries on 15th Sept for Queen of the South. Let me know if you're down my neck of the woods this season.
Cheers, Dave.

Tubbsy said...

At last count I'd been to 127 different grounds ranging from Sapporo to Gas Rec in Colchester!
Did Gateshead when Colchester were in the Conference, seem to remember buying a Spartak Moscow badge in concourse, bit random!
What do you need from me to join this wonderful group?
I am on your facebook group already.
Cheers
