A twist on the "how many grounds have you been to" what I want to know is how many teams have you seen? (1st team games only)
Thread will get rather long if we list all of them so I will start with the league teams I am missing and go on from there.
Prem. All bar Arsenal. 19.
Champs. All of em. 24.
L1. All of em. 24
L2. All bar Morcombe. 23
National teams, England and Luxembourg, Zambia. 3
Conference, Cambridge U, Halifax T, Kidderminster H, Mansfield T, Oxford U, Rushden & D, Torquay U, Wrexham, York C. 9.
Boston U, Bath C, Newport Cnty, Paulton R, Weston S Mare, Yate T, York C, Kings Lynn, Merthyr T, VS Rugby, Wimbledon, (I count the old dons as a different team to franchise fc), Fisher Ath, Welling, Aldershot, Mangotsfield U, Runcorn FC Halton, 16.
Will probably think of more but that's 118 so far. _________________ I am not gas, I am a Pirate.

Premiership: Not too many here, Blackburn, Fulham, Portsmouth, Wigan, WBA, Stoke, West ham, Hull.
Championship: Everyone.
League One: All bar Leicester, but looks like we'll be playing them next season.
League Two: Missing Daggers, Aldershot, Accrington and Morecambe.
Conference: Mostly the ex-league teams; Wrexham, Torquay, Cambridge, Oxford, York, Kidderminster, Rushden, Mansfield. But also seen Eastbourne, Histon, Stevenage and Forest Green.
Below that I've seen Newport, Bath City, TeamBath, Thurrock, Weston, Havant & Waterlooville, St. Albans (ConfSouth), Telford (ConfNorth), Merthyr (SLP), Billericay & Horsham (ILP). I can only think of Bridgwater below that, although I'm sure there's a few more.
In Wales I've seen a fair few of the WPL sides, Llanelli, Neath, Carmarthen, Caersws, Welshpool, TNS, Rhyl, Bangor, Caernarfon, and plenty that were there before - Cwmbran, Barry etc. More teams in the Welsh Leauge that I can be bothered to mention as well!
National teams; Wales, England, ROI, Northern Eire, Germany, Finland, Russia, Azerbaijan, Liechtenstein, San Marino, Poland, Austria, Belarus, Georgia, Bulgaria, Slovenia, Slovakia, Czech Republic, Italy, Serbia (& Montenegro - I think they were Yugoslavia at the time), Belgium, Paraguay, Armenia, Ukraine. Maybe a few I've missed out there too. |

Oh yeah, I've seen Halifax and Scarborough as well, but they're playing in god knows what division now. I think Halifax are in NPL 1 North and Scarborough in the North Eastern Counties somewhere. |

The only current league team I haven't seen Grimsby play is Manchester United, which is hardly surprising since we haven't crossed swords with them since our relegation from Division 1 in 1948!
In addition I've seen the following non-league teams, most of them whilst in the league:
Kidderminster, Halifax, York, Wrexham, Mansfield, Runcorn, Blyth Spartans, Boston, Barrow, Cambridge U, Oxford, Workington, Wimbledon, Torquay, Gateshead, Rushden and Diamonds, Newport, Bradford PA, Southport, Droylesden, Scarborough, Maidstone. |

Most English and a good number of Scottish league teams. Some from N.Ireland - when I've been on pre season tours with both Grimsby and Auchinleck Talbot - and on the odd weekend away there.
Scottish non league - too many to name, but what an eye opener, terrace culture from the 1960's, £5 entry, little or no segregation, "raw" football, and this season even had a police charge on horses down the main street in Auchinleck in the national cup competition (for a crowd of about 1000) when a few hotheads threw their handbags at each other.
On holiday I love to watch football abroad, and have seen many friendlies in Sweden and Denmark (some from pre season tours with Grimsby) Barcelona, Malaga, Marseille (what a ground, what a spectacle for derby vs Nice 2 years ago) When I can't watch a game I always go to the grounds for a look around, and see if I can pick up any memorabailia.
Have a long suffering wife. |
