Great little ground is Zizkov. I have been twice and even dragged my wife along the first time and to my amazement, she loved it. Home games kick off at 10:15 on a Sunday morning which is great if you over there on a long weekend as it does not dominate your entire day. The match is done and dusted by midday and you are free to do other stuff, like drink their superb beer!! The berbequed bratwurst at about a quid a go were very good and a beer in the ground was 90p when I was there last season for a mates stag trip. We also paid £2.25 to get in and that included a programme. What's not to like? Edited November 29, 2015 by Roker Rover 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roker Rover Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 (edited) How do you know how many times you have been to tannadice. I started going to Almondvale when I was 6 years old and wouldn't even remember half the times I've been. I just estimate it based on the number of seasons. I went to Roker Park between the mid 70's (the odd game) and started going to every game in about 1982-83, so about 13 full seasons at an average of 25 games a season including cup ties is about 325 games, plus reserve matches and the odd games before 1982 I would estimate that at 360-370. Since we moved to the Stadium of Light, there have been 19 full seasons at about 23 games a season (more PL seasons with less home games), so roughly 440 plus reserve games (less now played at the SOL than at Roker as most are played at Hetton) and the 8 or 9 so far this season will put me on about 480. Weird to think I have now seen more games at our 'New' ground than the old one. With away games and other reserve matches etc at other venues, I must have seen well over 1,200 Sunderland games now. There's 1,800 hours or 75 days or nearly 2 and a half months of my life I won't get back!! I have spent more than 1% of my entire time on the planet watching Sunderland play football. Next up for me in terms of new grounds is Dunfermline next Saturday followed by Greenock Morton the Friday before Christmas and Dundee on the Saturday. Will also be keeping an eye out for the FA Cup 3rd round draw next week in the hope of Sunderland getting drawn away at one of the places I ain't been yet. I never miss a Sunderland away game now if its a ground I have not previously visited. PS - I missed Farsely Celtic from my original list as well Edited November 29, 2015 by Roker Rover 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mantis Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 (edited) I know Rab B Nesbit and Jim Kidd and I can confirm they both have a missus. I was at Peterheid on Saturday which completed all the Scottish 41 for me although I was at their old ground for a Caley game. It's a bit boring listing them all so I'll just mention the interesting ones. SPFL - 41 plus Muirton, Love St, Boghead, Kilbowie, Douglas Park, Brockville, Broomfield, Bayview, Annfield, Shawfield, Firs Park. East Juniors - 31 including demolished grounds at Penicuik, Nitten. West Juniors - 22 including Baillieston Benburb Peasie. SLFL - 15 plus City Park and Ettrick Park, Selkirk EOSL & SOSL - 16 SHFL - 15 including Telford St, Kingsmills, Recreation Park Peterhead. Islands (Lewis, Shetland, Orkney) - 11 England - 23 including Roker and Highfield Rd. Spain - CD Tenerife and Barca. Wales - Wrexham and Cardiff (Ninian Park) Switzerland - Allmend (Luzern, demolished) France - Bayeux N.I. - Linfield, Ards, Ballinamallard Canada - Kitchener Centennial Romania - Astra Giurgiu Netherlands - de Kuip Also some baseball stadiums which are magnificent but don't count, and many many stadiums where I've sneaked in or blagged in for a photo but no game. Visits to places like Amsterdam ArenA, Allianz, old San Mames and new Wembley. All in all just about 200 where I've actually seen a game.

Audaces Fortuna Juvat Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 Was that Ards old ground which, sadly, is no longer with us? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mantis Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 (edited) Oh right, never realised they're groundsharing in Ballyclare, that's a fair bit away. Yes it was 1998. I never got the Internet till late that year, it's a wonder I ever found it I'll see if I can rake out a couple of photos I took....

Audaces Fortuna Juvat Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 They've moved around a fair bit since then. Would love to see them back in their home town but the fans face a huge uphill struggle. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peasy23 Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 Been to around 130 different grounds in various grades, but wonder if anyone can beat this one. I've seen Bellshill Athletic play at 4 different home grounds, 5 if you count groundsharing. Has anyone seen a team play at more home grounds than this? Brandon Park New Brandon Park Matt Busby Sports Centre Rockburn Park And sharing at Vale of Clyde. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CM.

They've used Fullarton a few times when they've been in between grounds in Bellshill. Forgot Clyde had used so many too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slacker Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 Ross. on the opening page claims to have seen Clydebank as the home side at 8 different grounds. Surely can't be topped. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CM. Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 We only played at home twice at Alloa (Challenge cup tie against Partick Thistle and a league game against Peterhead) while our artificial pitch was still getting laid. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can beat that with Petershill tbh, but a few of them were for one off games same as the ones he cites for Clydebank. Bellshill's grounds were all for at least a whole season. Off the top of my head, when Petershill Park was being built we played at the following as home games. St. Roch's Ashfield Maryhill Cambuslang Pollok (Scottish Cup replay v Arthurlie) Cumbernauld (Scottish tie v Newburgh) Dunipace (Scottish replay v Ballingry Rovers) and old and new Petershill Parks makes that 9. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
