Arsenal, Fluminense, Vasco da Gama and Wembley. Will add West Ham at some stage as a mate has 2 season tickets there but doesn't live in the UK.

Does St. Andrews count as different grounds depending on how many stands are open/in existence?

Most of Dave W's list (not Huddersfield or Arsenal though) plus Stamford, Brentford, Inverness City, Burton Albion, Curzon Ashton, Morecambe, York City. Can I count Gloucester City as they built a new ground on the site of the old one but a few feet higher?

Have been to White Hart Lane and Tottingham's new ground.

Also Selhurst Park and Kingsmeadow; 2 former Wimbledon grounds.

Have been to St Andrews and Damson Park; so Blues current and future stadiums.

As referenced by Dave W, I went to both the Villa "home" games in the 2000 Intertoto as well.

Yes I went to those. I remember us singing 'what'a it like to see a crowd?'. Think there was about 9,000 of us each time...

There's a point, can we count Moor Green? Watched them loads of times at their old ground before they merged with Solihull Borough and have been to Damson Park a few times.

Slightly strangely I played at the old Solihull Borough ground on Widney Lane as a kid and have played at Damson Park as an adult but have never watched a senior game at either.
