Following on from the excellent 'old ground' thread, got me wondering how many senior club grounds (past ir present) in the country you've seen your club play in. Rule of thumb.....its the ground, not the opponents....if the ground is still on same site but restructured then its in; eg Celtic Park, Tynecastle, Rugby Park (for myself, seen Clyde at all three pre-all seater; not at any of them since rebuild, but all three with Scotland); If old Boghead and Love St but not the Rock or St.Mirren Park (ala both old grounds but not new ones myself) then its a naw. Im on 50, with only Borough Briggs to be signed off, and the only other ground in my lifetime i've never been in was Annfield. First to 54 wins....gotta feeling i know who it'll be!! Eta: i originally forgot Shawfield. D'oh.

New St Mirren Park is the only current one of the 42 that I've not been to. Been at Raydale as well. Brockville and Love Street are the only two stadiums which no longer exist I think.

Didn't ever go to Boghead, Broomfield or Firs Park which are probably common ones for a lot of people.

Not been to New St Mirren Park or Falkirk Stadium. All others present and correct. Favourite is Annan's Galabank. Won't dangle my rod by declaring my least favourite. The one I miss most is of our closest neighbours Airdrie. Broomfield was a cracking old cup tie ground.

Not being arsey.....second line reads 'seen your club in'. We've been nowhere near Pittodrie or Tynecastle since the 80s, Celtic Park, Fir Park or Rugby Park since the early 90s and Easter Road since 2001.

Same as David W, never seen Clyde play at new St Mirren Park, but unlike David have seen Clyde play at Boghead & Firs Park.

I believe Pittiodrieis the ground it's been the longest Time since we had a game there. Charlie is a Tory!

Been to all the current grounds apart from St Mirren's new park & Elgin. Was at all the old ones that David W mentions plus Shawfield & Raydale.

Was also at Caley's ground Telford st for a Scottish cup tie before they merged with Thistle.....does this count? :-)

Ps shaggro are you including Scotland games aswell as Clyde?

Haven't seen QP at Dundee, new St Mirren and I've only seen our Strollers side play at the new Falkirk ground. Add in Gretna, Douglas Park, Annfield, Brockville, Shawfield, Broomfield, Firs Park, Meadowbank, Muirton, Bayview, Love St, Bankies, Telford Street....and, at a push, Lesser Hampden. I reckon that's 51, but add lots more to that if you regard an all-seater as a new ground...........probably ten.

Scotland games do not no. Hadnt counted Lesser as im not sure Clyde ever played there, first team anyway; i was there for some reserve games in the late 80s, hence my number of 54 but if you've seen your club there it counts.New build on site of original ground counts same as old stadium, so no-ones getting them twice. Eg Tannadice and Fir Park both have original shapes with seats....so same park. Same applies to the grounds which have undergone complete makeovers (the 3 already cited, plusthe likes of Dens, EEP, Starks or Firhill etc). Moving ground or groundsharing means multiple venues so yes (example Falkirk- 3 venues for myself) those count. Telford Street does count as it was host to a senior team although not when we were there, im using Balmoor as an example of that as i was there in 86 or 87 but havent been for a league match. Finally SEEN YOUR CLUB IN.
