Barnet Vs MK Dons
My son Liam, Grandad Steve and I completed the famous 92 Football League Grounds challenge for the second time with a trip to The Hive, Barnet FC’s state‑of‑the‑art home since 2013 after 106 years at Underhill for Matchday 97. Grandad Steve kindly agreed to drive, giving my car a much‑needed rest after 17 matches since […]
Oldham Athletic Vs Bromley
Matchday 96 saw us heading north to Boundary Park, home of Oldham Athletic. This was the first of two newly promoted clubs we’d be visiting this season following their return to the Football League from the National League. For me, this felt like more than just another ground to tick off – Oldham is a […]
Bradford City Vs Harrogate Town
Matchday 93 brought us one step closer to completing our incredible journey of visiting all 92 Football League grounds. With just one more to go, the excitement was building, but this trip to Bradford City had its fair share of unexpected moments. Given the early kick-off, we set out before sunrise, aiming to fit […]
Barnsley Vs Burton Albion
Matchday 92 marked the conclusion of our journey through League One, meaning we have now completed three out of the four leagues, with only two League Two grounds remaining. With a 12:30 kick-off and a pre-arranged meeting with a representative from Barnsley FC at 10:00, it meant an extremely early start—much to Liam’s dismay. He […]
Salford City Vs Fleetwood Town
Happy New Year to all our incredible supporters! Liam and I hope you had a fantastic festive season. We rang in the New Year in beautiful Scotland, celebrating Hogmanay with family and taking the opportunity to watch Aberdeen face Ross County at Pittodrie. Unfortunately, the Dons fell to a 2-1 defeat, but we made the […]
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. The day began with me working in Banbury, where I had to time my departure perfectly to catch the 14:11 train back to Birmingham. With no delays, I managed […]
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. However, with severe weather warnings in place, we decided to change course and head to West Sussex to tick off Crawley Town instead. The journey to the Broadfield Stadium was estimated at about […]
Blackpool Vs Northampton Town
Matchday 84 kicked off with an early breakfast at our local Greggs, where Liam and I fueled up for the day ahead. Liam enjoyed his bacon roll with red sauce, while I opted for brown sauce. Accompanied by a hot chocolate for Liam and a cappuccino for me, we set off for Blackpool up […]
Sunderland Vs Coventry City
Matchday 83 took us on a journey up to the North East for our final visit to one of the three major clubs in the region. I planned for an early departure to make the long trip as comfortable as possible, especially since I was still dealing with the lingering pain of my current hernia. […]
