Impressive les, in comparison I have managed a paltry 18 of those you have listed,can't think of any others off the top of my head. It shows you just how many clubs have moved on.

We haven't played Southampton since the late 70's Woz and I wasn't going away regularly by then and we haven't played Cardiff since the mid 80's. I can remember the last season we played them though when we won 4-2 there and beat them 6-3 at home. I had started to go to away games by then but for some reason I never went to Cardiff. The one that I did miss which I regret is that I never managed to see Town at was Maine Road,

Yeah, it is. For some reason I was thinking that Wycombe had moved to another new ground.

They tried, but there's a town fan living there so it put the kibosh on it!

19 on that list for me although two were watching Arsenal not Town! Highbury and Highfield Road. Loved watching town away late 80s and through 90's, favourite away day was Plough Lane, despite result it was amazing atmosphere and build up. Buses from Peter Sheffield, Applebys GCT all traveling down A1 and service stations awash with Town Fans. Getting on Tube at Stanmore with basically the whole of Grimsby queuing up for what seemed ages to get in ground and Town fans outnumbering home fans and of course the inflatables!

Maine Road and that athletics stadium Brighton used to use before they moved to Falmer for me. Oh and I went to Bournemouth when the pitch faced the other way-does that count?

Not as many as I thought: about 18 plus Maine Road. My mind is slowly going, so I can't even remember where I've been in the morning, let alone 40 years ago!

Haven't made many of the new ones since moving north but can include Park Avenue, home of Bradford Park Avenue up until 1973. Proper ground, built by Leitch.

All this talk of 'Old Football Grounds' has reminded me of a great book i bought in the 1980s,
THE FOOTBALL GROUNDS OF ENGLAND AND WALES SIMON INGLIS
WILLOW BOOKS 1983
In it is a picture of Blundell Park showing the new Findus Stand, total cost £425,000.

After they move to the Olympic Stadium, can you add West Ham's ground to that?

White Hart Lane is one of only 4 of the 156 grounds I've been to where I haven't seen Town. I went when they beat Man Utd 3-1 on the Saturday after 2 Big Keef goals had given us a 2-0 win at Sarfend on the Friday night. The other 3 grounds are Old Trafford and The COMS Etihad (both England) and Chesterfields new ground. I met up with a few Exeter mates there a couple of seasons ago. It was their last game of the season and was the day before the 2nd leg of the play-offs at Newport.
