Getting to league grounds with yer Talbot's etc was once something of a rarity that was normally only available through a Junior semi or final. 

Nowadays we're all in the Senior Scottish Cup it has become a fairly regular occurrence, so how many of the 42 league grounds have you been to with your side? 

I'm guessing Clydebank fans are going to have the most ticked off but I was surprised at how many I'd been to with the Bot since the mid 80's. I'm counting 20 but I'm sure others will have been to a few more that I missed. 

Hearts

Killie

Motherwell 

St mirren (love street only)

Ayr

Falkirk (new one and brockville)

Hamilton 

Livingston 

Partick Thistle 

Queens Park (Hampden and Lesser)

Raith Rovers 

Arbroath 

Cove

Kelty

Stenhousemuir

Bonnyrigg

Clyde (new Douglas ground share)

Edinburgh City

Stirling Albion 

Stranraer

well, it was useful having two teams to support: Meadowbank and Edinburgh City

I never saw Meadowbank or City at Easter Road, Celtic Park or Ibrox (trip in 1985 was a bit before my time). Meadowbank borrowed Tynecastle for a game against Ayr so I saw them play there. 

I did Ross Country when they were Highland League. 

I missed City playing up at ICT. City played at the Falkirk Stadium against Queens Park. Saw Thistle at Broomfield but never saw either team at the Excelsior (I have been there though)

I've done some of the grounds that are no longer there too but never went to Shawfield. Also those who have managed to get themselves relegated: Cowden, Brechin, Shire, Albion Rovers and Berwick.

Doing the 41 in my case. I've only ICT to do (better hurry up with that one... :whistle)

And the winner is…Tam. Doubt many if any Clydebank fans will match that.

I saw  Clydebank FC at every league ground except Ross County [I was at the Brit Awards on the night we won a Scottish Cup replay]

Since our adventures in the 21st century I still have to visit the new East Fife, Annan, Cove Rangers, Elgin City, Peterhead

Also you may have been to Firhill for Junior Cup Semi v Bathgate and perhaps Somerset Park for old Ardagh / League Cup Finals?

I'm jelous of anyone that's been to the grounds that are no longer there and you seem to have been to a good few of them. Once they're gone they're gone.

Any Talbot fans remember Recreation Park in Peterhead. It was the old ground in the Blue Toon which Buchanhaven Hearts used it to host us back in 1979. It was a bit of a blur due to the heavy drinking.

I remember being at the game. I'm sure we took about 300 fans up there.
