Currently stood at Stockton Town doing ground number 641. Seen Rovers at 216 of those.
Originally completed the 92 in Sept 1984 at Bournemouth and am currently on 89/92 needing new Brentford, Wimbledon and Spurs although I’m at Spurs next Sunday and Wimbledon on Feb 26th v Rovers. Just got to find a way to sneak into Brentford. Done all Scottish grounds except Kelty and all Welsh Prem except Caernarfon.
Got 3 left in Conference and 2 left in Conference North.
Fantastic hobby to have, some may call it sad.
That's impressive.
Saw Rovers play at Stockton in a pre season friendly many years ago - well before I moved up here

My most bizarre game I've seen is Bray Wanderers v Waterford in the Irish league .

I went on a stag party to Dublin in the mid 90's , Friday to Monday gig .

On Sunday we fancied getting out of Dublin just to stretch our legs and have a few hours off the black stuff .

The locals told us to go to the coast and have a few hours in Bray .

Last stop on the D.A.R.T. you can't go wrong fellas .

We gets off at Bray station and to our right is Bray Wanderers football ground and theres people entering the ground with green n white scarves on .

Its too much to resist , how can you possibly walk past if you are in a group of football obsessed nut Jack's ? .

It was a great couple of hours standing with the locals who were most friendly and welcoming .

We only had to mention Mick McCarthy and we were on to a winner .

We had a night out in Bray afterwards in the company of two lads stood next to us and it was a fantastic night , they were brilliant .

I can't even remember one thing about the game which tells its own story .

Great thread. I've been to 27 of the current 92 as well as some other grounds that no longer home a league team: Bury and Yeovil. You have to bear in mind that I have lived my entire life in Dublin and never lived in the UK. I've been to every league of Ireland ground as well as on some great European trips following Shamrock Rovers: Bnei yehuda tel aviv, juventus, flora Tallinn, fc Copenhagen, spurs, rubin kazan, paok thessalonica, progres niedercorn. Drew Milan in the europa last season but covid meant only one leg so no trip to the san sirocco unfortunately.

Swinton- nice to hear you have been to see the Dublin Rovers. You wouldn't be the first lad from Doncaster to do so.
