football spin-off thread: how many grounds/games did you get to in 2012?
As you know, i've not had a real interest in vulgar oil-funded football over the latter half of the year, so my exposure to Premier League grounds has been somewhat limited. I have been chalking off the non-league grounds over the course of the year, though, so off the top of my head...
Eastlands (Man City) x12
Gigg Lane (Bury) x1
Highbury (Fleetwood Town) x1
Globe Arena (Morecambe) x1
Ewan Fields (Hyde FC) x6
Edgeley Park (Stockport County) x2
Moss Rose (Altrincham) x1
Silverlands (Buxton) x1
Seel Park (Mossley) x1
Shawe View (Trafford AFC) x7
Moor Lane (Salford AFC) x3
Tameside Stadium (Curzon Ashton FC) x1
West View Stadium (Bacup Borough) x2
Silentnight Stadium (Barnoldswick Town) x1
XLCR Stadium (Colne AFC) x1
Surrey Street (Glossop North End) x2
Brantingham Road (Maine Road FC) x5
Sports Village (Stockport Sports FC) x2
Alder Street (Atherton Colls) x1
Crilly Park (Atherton LR) x1
Park Road (Cheadle Town) x2
Silver Street (Irlam FC) x3
Brookburn Road (West Didsbury & Chorlton AFC) x6
23 grounds, i think. Thought it would've been more than that, have probably forgot some.
About 60 games seems right.
* Let's say grounds you had to pay to get into only, not times you watched yer mate play on a cabbage patch hungover on a Sunday morning.
Shoot...
