Same with me. Only 4 to do in the current league 1, Crawley, Wycombe, Stevenage and Shrewsbury. 1 sorted, 3 to go. Burton and Crawley in this division for me. Just Crawley for me so happy to get it ticked off |

Crawley will be my only new ground in L.1 this season so chuffed I got a ticket. In terms of where I've seen Town play, that'll take me up to 84/92 (& I think just shy of 140 altogether). I'm determined to be able to say I've done a one-club 92 at one point in my life but I'm increasingly reliant on lucky cup draws & favourable L2/NL promotions & relegations. Hence I'm not averse to us dropping to L.2 as I'd sooner see us at Bromley now that Anfield  |

Will be 88 of the 92 for me although not all the new grounds eg Shrewsbury and 131 in total. Like DeepSpace wouldn't be too disappointed to get relegated (just for one season) so could mop up the rest to be able to say that at one point I've done all 92. Can't rely on cup draws as we generally only get 2 or 3 per season.

Can't rely on cup draws as we generally only get 2 or 3 per season. I'm quite nerdy about this in that I have kept a spreadsheet for years detailing where I've been, how many times, etc. Although a recent IT disaster meant I've had to redo it & have lost track a bit. I track visits to the current ground (83/92 as we speak) & visits to the club at a different ground, & visits to non-league or neutral. I'm similar to you with regards to club visits; 88/92 as I've seen us at the old Morecambe, Wimbledon, Oxford, Brentford & Newport grounds but not the new ones. I have devised a complex set of rules for myself about what counts as a new ground, & I even have an ongoing estimate of how many miles I've travelled in my time watching Town. If it wasn't for the depressing 90 minutes that you so often have to endure, football is a brilliant hobby. |

Get the Futbology app - for logging matches and looking for grounds. Great when working away or on holiday, to see if there’s a local game on. Sad but I actually try plan work trips around it and holidays (much to the mrs annoyance). Can quite happily sit on it looking at the different grounds and clubs up and down the land/world

Virtually all of that applies to me too, even down to the estimate of miles travelled. You didn't hitch hike to Plymouth around 1981 by any chance did you? |

If that was a 1-1 draw & we scored from a penalty then I was there but I didn’t hitch-hike (overnight Travel Club/mobile brewery from the bus station & a 6am start drinking in Plymouth). I did hitch to a good many away games though around that era but usually from London. |

Wycombe, Mansfield, Stevenage, Crawley, Northampton, Cambridge and Burton left for me.
Definitely not doing Crawley or Wycombe but definitely hoping to go to Mansfield, Burton and Cambridge. Not sure about Stevenage and Northampton though.

I am hoping to go to Charlton and maybe Exeter that is a long way to go for nothing but hopefully that won't be the case.

76 of the current 91 for me, with a total of 113 all in.
22 out of 24 in League One, Crawley and Shrewsbury to be done. Not got tickets for Crawley yet but looking at it simply to tick it off, although the journey is a long one which is putting me off a bit!

Two new grounds (Tamworth and Crawley) on successive weekends, a rare occurrance for me nowadays, its usually one every season or two.

My memory says it was the 4-1 loss? Back in about 1996, myself as the driver (because I had a company car) and three mates drove from Epsom area to Stranraer and back (via Cartmel) to see Stranraer v Hamilton Accies (HA won 0-5). 960 miles of driving, on the road for 20 hours all told. |

Some of the criteria some people set down for themseleves is a bit anal tbh, if i went to a football stadium for the first time to watch a rugby match i'd count it whereas some folk wouldnt, some fuddy duddy's dont even include friendlies or if they attend as a neutral, if you've been you've been, you cant have unbeen.  |

I told the copper where I’d been and he let me off as he reckoned I’d been punished enough. |

Yeah, but watching Town at the 92 is far more meaningful than going as a neutral. Also, counting friendlies just devalues it. For me it’s about watching Town in a competitive match. Guess I’m one of your fuddy duddies then 😉 |

It’s not anal just how you perceive something, I’m happy for you to complete your 92 in which ever way you choose and good luck if you are or have done it, personally friendlies or games without town playing count but I don’t include visits for say a music event. |

Going back to the original subject of away capacities... Bolton have just sold out their full capacity for Stockport. 844 tickets. Gone are the days at Stockport where they give us behind the goal and half the side apparently. We play them Easter Monday. If we're still in with a shout of top 2, getting tickets will be impossible... www.bwfc.co.uk/news/ticket-information-stockport-county-0 |

Digressing slightly but what happened to the moveable rails in our south stand. Away fans seem to get 3/5ths then we're back to a bloody great gap again..?

I read an article once that described people who had done all 92 with one team as the paramilitary wing of the 92 Club 😂😂 |

Barrow, Woking, Arsenal, Everton ?? |
