Guest Jedi Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 A few years ago there used to be a Scottish 38 Club for like minded folk who had been to a match at each of the then Scottish senior grounds. Obviously that has since increased to 42. Seem to remember you were presented with a tie, badge and certificate at your 'last' ground by the club, which had meet ups and newsletter etc. Anyone know if there are any similar clubs around now? There are certainly ones for the English 92 grounds, but haven't heard of a Scottish version for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Jedi Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 Scottish or English ones? or you mean 'groundhoppers' in general? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Audaces Fortuna Juvat Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 I remember this club, but it was a good few years ago. Googled it a while back and could only find the English equivalent, sadly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jedi Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 No current group for 'the 42' then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highlandcowden Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 not that rare a thing nowadays is it,you read comments on other threads about folks doing it.i think when you go to games you become mindful of which ones you have left as the number dwindles. sort of completed my round in march with cowdens away game to annan though haven't been to new falkirk and airdrie grounds, just Brockville and broomfield Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Nightfly Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 It is more of an achievement if you can visit all the grounds in a single season, as I did in 1995/96. [emoji6] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Nightfly Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 did that a few years ago with the Highland league teams.dont think id try the 42, though It would be tough with 4 teams to tick off. I remember driving up to Inverness and Dingwall, on consecutive weekends in April. I lived in Balloch then. My trip to Cowdenbeath was on a cold mid-week evening, for an uneventful 0-0 v Brechin!

Fair play to you but wouldn't want to miss my teams games. I've been stuck on 41 for years need to go to Stranraer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've managed 7 of the 42 with Liverpool ... don't think I'll get the full set and we won't talk about the ICT one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HibeeJibee Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 Vaguely toyed with trying to do all 42 in 1 season a few years ago (I didn't btw): and if you were prepared to go to Sunday games when they were on TV, and Tuesday or Wednesday (maybe both) nearer to you when there were midweek cards, with careful planning you could do it in 3-4 months... That was also before LC groups plus increase in Friday TV games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
