fester58 Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 last time i counted i was up in the 60's and thats not including the european ties. ive stopped going to away games due to work,family and lack of coin.
stevieb Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 21 including, europeans, chorley pre season + derry (not vs bolton) Im shocked at how low that is. JCL!
Underpants Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 I remember going to Eastville & Twerton Park, Undies. Have we ever played them at the Memorial Ground ? Otherwise what was the 3rd ground ? Good question
Traf Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 We've not played there: it's over 20 yrs since we played them.
Rembrandt Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 I didn't use Wiki, it was just something I thought I remembered, so I checked on Rovers' own website: : http://www.bristolrovers.co.uk/page/LatestNews/0,,10328~1703520,00.html Which also reveals us to be the 1st visitors to Twerton Park, when we lost 1-0 to a Trevor "Sumo" Morgan penalty. I was at that game, as were several others off here. Yep, I dashed down the M4 from London. Was a bugger finding somewhere to park at the last minute. "In 1980-81, three League and two League Cup games were played at Ashton Gate as 'home' fixtures." Guess remaining question is : were we one of those 5 visiting clubs ?
Traf Posted February 22, 2011 Posted February 22, 2011 If we were one of those 5 visiting clubs, it would have been 14/2/81 and a 2-1 defeat.
Rembrandt Posted February 22, 2011 Posted February 22, 2011 If we were one of those 5 visiting clubs, it would have been 14/2/81 and a 2-1 defeat. Yeah, that's the date of our game at Bristol Rovers that season. "As a result of 'The Eastville fire' in the South Stand at the start of the 1980-81 season Rovers were offered the opportunity to play their matches at Ashton Gate. In 1980-81, three League and two League Cup games were played at Ashton Gate as 'home' fixtures." But if the fire was at the start of that season, would the Ashton Gate games haev been as late as February 1981 ? Anyone got a definitive answer ?
Happy Wanderer Posted February 22, 2011 Posted February 22, 2011 56 of those currently in the leagues prem to div 2 8 who are now non-league (including witton albion) and thats teams not grounds

But if the fire was at the start of that season, would the Ashton Gate games haev been as late as February 1981 ? Anyone got a definitive answer ? If they played 2 League Cup games and 3 league games all at "home" fairly close together: I'd feel fairly safwe in saying it was the start of the season, so we wouldn't have played our game there.

"In 1980-81, three League and two League Cup games were played at Ashton Gate as 'home' fixtures." Guess remaining question is : were we one of those 5 visiting clubs ? No. Grimsby, Oldham and Newcastle in the league, York and Portsmouth in the League Cup. They played a "home" game at Ashton Gate in 1987, too, against Swindon.
SalfordOriginal Posted February 22, 2011 Posted February 22, 2011 65 for me + All the Euro's + 4 now in non league and 1 that seems to have gone bust (scarborough) What a variety we have had watching the Wanderers!

I was at that game, as were several others off here. Did we play at twerton just the once? I only remember the one game, there was a bit of trouble with GAS just outside the ground if I remember correctly?
jazza Posted February 22, 2011 Posted February 22, 2011 72 in England for me 3 abroad 4 in scotland + I had seen Queen of the South at every Scottish ground by the time I was 18 (Got a few to do now with new teams)
Traf Posted February 23, 2011 Posted February 23, 2011 Did we play at twerton just the once? I only remember the one game, there was a bit of trouble with GAS just outside the ground if I remember correctly? 3 times in total. 1986, 89 & 90: the last two were both mid-January IIRC. We din't win there either. I remember Philliskirk scoring in a 1-1 draw in one of the two january games.
leigh white Posted February 23, 2011 Posted February 23, 2011 I did all the 92 in October 79, been 174 football grounds since. Quite a few new grounds not been to yet with Morecambe switching and others getting moved. Done about 11 new ones this season.
Zico Posted February 23, 2011 Posted February 23, 2011 last time I counted it was around 50, not just BWFC, but globally and that
Guest Biff Posted February 23, 2011 Posted February 23, 2011 A quick count shows that I have been to 91 current league clubs' grounds. This figure includes previous grounds. 6 Scottish grounds and 1 Irish ground, Cliftonville. 21 European grounds. 11 former league club grounds and numerous non league grounds most outlandish being Harwich and Parkstone.
Rembrandt Posted February 23, 2011 Posted February 23, 2011 No. Grimsby, Oldham and Newcastle in the league, York and Portsmouth in the League Cup. They played a "home" game at Ashton Gate in 1987, too, against Swindon. Thanks, Enzo.

Same here ...... 91 current League clubs (not counting different grounds). Must get to Burton Albion sometime. Been to a lot of non-league clubs at different times over the years, including Harwich. But I'll raise you a Torpoint Athletic, an Arundel or a Great Yarmouth .........
Baba O'Riley Posted February 25, 2011 Posted February 25, 2011 If they played 2 League Cup games and 3 league games all at "home" fairly close together: I'd feel fairly safwe in saying it was the start of the season, so we wouldn't have played our game there. I recall Bristol Rovers wearing our green away kit in the match at Burnden in 80-81 season owing to them losing theirs in the fire, or am I imagining things?
LeggyMountbatten Posted February 25, 2011 Posted February 25, 2011 Watching Bolton only... 18 current Premier League clubs 12 current Championship clubs 9 current League One clubs 6 current League Two clubs 3 current Conference clubs 3 current Evostik League clubs 3 Scottish grounds 4 Euro aways

Horwich & Parkway ???
Guest Biff Posted February 25, 2011 Posted February 25, 2011 Horwich & Parkway ??? No Harwich & Parkston. I was in Harwich for two months and we decided to go to a night match in March 1969. They were playing Cheshunt. In that two months I also went to see Colchester play Bradford Park Avenue. The only time I saw Bradford PA as a league club. Also went to Ipswich a couple of times.
