There is an excellent mobil app for this called Fotbology (Used to be called groundhopper) and for a small fee each year it also gives you a guide to local games, excellent if you are travelling with work and have some spare time.

There's a great blog showing all the games on in London every week from the lowest level on the pyramid, reserve games and women's games. I'm considering creating one for Glasgow one of these days.

Yes, I use it and it's a very good app. My list in there isn't complete though as there are plenty of non-league grounds I've been to years ago that I can't remember the exact game I been to so I didn't add those matches.

The two Norwegian guys that do the app are brand new. They deal with queries quickly. I've got quite a few pics in the app, mainly Scottish non-league and Faroese. But now the app lets you add your own photo at a match apart from the main one.

fucking hell - i thought the Globe was just a rebranded and tarted up version of Christie Park - can't believe they've built another ground with an open terrace along one side !

They sold Christie park to a supermarket chain (Sainsbury's) and built the new ground about a mile away. I went to the last league game there against Aldershot. As well as a league game at the Globe. Both us and Morecambe got to the play offs the year Christie park was closed. 8th May 2010 over 5000 at that game.  So they had a further game after that. Then again in August 2011 this time to the Globe. Aldershot lost both games.

Not as many foreign grounds as some of our more traveled friends, but I do have pix from all my visits:

https://ian38018.blogspot.com/2019/09/cardiff-city-stadium.html

And also - between 1995/2001 I visited and took vid footage at every Scottish non-league junior & senior ground:

May keep a few folks entertained 'till we shift this pesky virus.

Very comprehensive blog and a lot in common with me musically. I homed in on the Whitburn v Kilwinning tie from 2001 as I thought I had been at the game, but I realised it was actually 1999 on a pishing wet day. my workmate Ian Gallagher was the Kilwinning captain and actually got 3 SJC medals as he also won it with Linlithgow. Depressing to see how far Whitburn have fallen.

My blog is of an entirely different style but it's no too shabby either 😉

You can't count shared grounds twice or visits with no games on.

Disqualified!
