Peterborough United Vs Burton Albion
Matchday 87 brought us what we hope will be our final midweek evening fixture of the challenge, and it certainly tested our stamina and determination.

Blackburn Rovers Vs Leeds United
Matchday 86: A Visit to Ewood Park, Blackburn Rovers Ewood Park has been a ground I’ve been excited to visit ever since Blackburn Rovers’ iconic Premier League victory in 1995 under the legendary Sir Kenny Dalglish. The history and nostalgia of that era made this trip particularly special. I had arranged to meet a […]
Crawley Town Vs Rotherham United
Our plans for Matchday 85 took an unexpected turn. Initially, we had booked to see Bradford City take on Accrington Stanley.

Bristol Rovers Vs Shrewsbury Town
Matchday 80 saw us on a relatively short journey to visit the second of the two Bristol stadiums and get one step closer to completing all 92. Starting the day by working from home, I aimed to leave promptly at 4:30 pm to avoid any rush hour traffic. Thankfully, this early start paid off, and […]
Southampton Vs Leicester City
Matchday 79 marked an important return to our 92 Football League grounds challenge, following my recent hospital visit due to a groin hernia.
