Iām on 73 of the current league teams, including Bury. A few teams Iāve been to the old ground but not the new, some Iāve been to old and new.
As with a lot of the other posters Iāve been to quite a few who are now in non league - some multiple times like Stockport, Wrexham, Chesterfield, Notts County and possibly others.
Of the teams who have dropped out, who is lowest in the pyramid? Would it be Scarborough?
I havenāt been to many of the newest teams to come up from the ranks, Fleetwood, Morecambe, Burton, Stevenage and that sort.
Managed 39 including Fellows Park and Banksās, of which York, Chesterfield, Notts County, Barnet (Underhill) now non-league, Hitchin Town as a neutral and Hednesford in pre-season friendly with Saddlers, both old and new Wembley, Millennium Stadium (I have played there in a charity match), MK at hockey stadium and their new place. Mostly done the same away grounds nearest to where I live in Hertfordshire. Like going to Posh. Done Luton loads of times as well. Seen Watford 3 times in old first division as well as for Walsall matches. Been Bradford with Walsall and also a couple there as a neutral. Prem grounds Liverpool, Old Trafford, Carrow Road, all with the Saddlers. Hats off to those who have been to 70 plus.
Iāve done 82 grounds in total, not all with Walsall though. 73 grounds in England, 9 in Wales because for some reason I bloody love the Welsh Premier League.
Ones with Walsall are mostly League One and Two, a few Championship and a few who have fell away into non league obscurity.
For anyone who does like to keep a count thereās a good app called āFutbologyā which lets you check in at the time and itāll update the score etc. Great app for anyone who likes to keep a record of grounds and games theyāve been to.

Did we ever play at Boston Utd or Maidstone?
Both - although Maidstone actually played at Dartfordās ground as their own wasnāt league standard.
Yes we did mate. But I did not go to ether, trying to think if we ever played rush den and dismonds
No - but we have played more than once at Dagenham & Redbridge.

Thought so. Didnt go to either but keep remembering clubs that are now no longer in the league, there must be loads.
Kiddie are another.
Another forgotten gem.
Yes forgot about them, I can remember going there on a Tuesday night game.
I wonder if anyone on here ever ventured to Barrow or Workington
You forgot one of our old favourites. Hereford
Me too, with the exception of Yeovil never done that ground.
Not actually been on the ānewly refurbishedā Halifax ground as a spectator though, only remember the old dust bowl!

Yes mate Hereford , been there many a time, my list is getting bigger lol
Remember the match at Boston Utd (1-1) well, as Mrs Hullsaddler worked with the wife of one of their players ( a former Hull City stalwart, Mark Greaves). He got me a ticket and he gave me the bottle of champagne he won for winning their man of the match!
Went there on a Tuesday night weather was awful was lashing it down they offered to move us but we stood there getting soaked to the skin lol
Just had a quick check and there are 11 teams in the National League that Iāve been away to when they were still EFL - and another 8 in the North/South feeders. May be one of two more further down the pyramid (someoneās already mentioned Scarborough for one).
