Football grounds updated
So with the City game and my recent(ish) visit to Coventry's new ground, my ground count is now up to 30. I appear to have miscounted last time, since 29 plus 2 doesn't usually equal 30. I probably counted Wembley twice. It is down there twice. I apologise to all who've been upset by this error.
EDIT: Have added Coventry's old ground. Make that 31 stadia.
EDIT 2: Have added three more grounds per Dad (QPR, Spurs & Arsenal). That brings it up to 34.

*These are grounds that I've either no, or a vague recollection of visiting, and I'm taking Dad's word for it that I've been to a game there. I think this is fair enough: I started going to games when I was 11, and I didn't have much of a memory back then either.

will you go for the 92? (of which you have 21, discounting 7 stadia not associated with league sides and boothferry park \ the Goldstone since they've both moved).
Probably not. I'm more interested in seeing Wednesday play than "collecting" grounds. I'm going to keep tabs - obviously if I get to 70 or so, I might as well try and get round the rest. In hindsight I could have made more use of the stint in League One. Oh well.
you also went to a Coventry match at the previous ground with me. Was it called Highfield Road then
