One for the old timers... 10:15 - Dec 28 with 4071 viewsbluelagos

Been to 49 of these, must be a few of you can top that?

Arsenal, Spurs and most of the Scottish ones are most obvious gaps for me.

Bearing in mind that the Insurance Job Stadium makes it pretty high up, I can only assume that it was written by a budgie.

Having stands named after Norman Hunter and friends are reasons to go on the list, but one each for Sir Alf and Sir Bobby aren't? Riiiight...

The criteria seems to be either very new, very ‘old fashioned’ or some sort of unique(ish) redeeming feature not found elsewhere.

Haven’t looked at the list, but two that stand out for me as far as noise per head goes are Fratton Park, and St.Andrews.

58 for me. Done a few of the Scottish ones, new Spurs stadium is one I would like to do in the near future.

The old den, now that was a proper ground. Couldn’t be more different to the soulless half empty plastic turd of a ground they have now. And still they survive in the championship on 11k crowds. As do Blackburn and Preston…. Bastards. How did we get it so wrong?

Presumably Carrer Ruud is there for the unique phenomenon of having a trophy room, which holds no trophies?

Parkhead and Hampden were my only 2 north of the border. Quite a few more to do...

The ones I’ve done north of the border are Cappielow, Gayfield Park (bloody freezing!), Dumbarton, Hampden and Celtic Park. Would like to do a few more if possible.

some are chosen for their natural beauty, others because they play a cool song before kick off

Agree.

Wimbledon’s Plough Lane was picked because they had gone back to, err, Plough Lane.

Some interesting grounds there. I make it 24 for me. A few there which I have been to previous versions of. A few that I have been past but never inside. One (that I have counted) I have never watched a match live at the venue, but instead watched a TV beam-back from where that team were playing 46 miles away against Town! There is also one ground that I watched a pre-season friendly against a European team. All the others I have seen Town play at.

63 for me. Mainly missing the obscure non-league ones but also newer ones like Spurs, Wimbledon and Wembley (I am an Ipswich fan!). Lived in Scotland for four years during which I did 30 grounds including many listed here so that helps.

Poll: If you watch Town less often than in the past, what is the main reason?

40 for me. The grounds of Bolton, Bournemouth, Hull and Hearts should be nowhere near that list! Tynecastle has some great close pubs, but the ground is a Lego kit.

Much as I dislike Hull's ground, it did have an atmosphere when I visited. I suspect is not always the case but I don't know.

Stoke's appears to only be on there because of its situation on top of a hill and design to prevent the ball staying still for a set piece.
