Done 15 of those, Reading away was always a laugh, i can remember going there in about 81/82 there were fights in their end/side and also a few scuffles on the pitch, i think one or two were when the game was playing' also the Police tried to keep us in at the end but we burst through the gates and up a steep bank and met the Reading fans head on' from what i remember all hell let loose until they ran off Can also remember going to White Hart Lane when Spurs thumped us 9-0 from what i remember it was a really strange game, every chance they created they took!

Just the old Wembley for me. But I'm not that old.
I expect there will be a fair few from my 92 list that will be gone soon.Brentford imminently. Scunthorpe and Southend have been chatting new grounds.

I remember Reading away in the early 80s (probably the same match). There were a few groups of Rovers fans mixed in the Reading fans and periodically they kicked off during the match. There was also a pitch invasion by Rovers fans as they climbed over the fences. The next away match was at Portsmouth and before the match started the Rovers directors came on the terraces and handed out leaflets criticising the actions of Rovers fans the week before. Remember the Portsmouth game for a few reasons ..The leaflets handed out...the sheer amount of Rovers fans that turned up and the massive police presence. At the end of the match there was police line on the pitch edge of burly coppers all around 6 foot tall except one who was tubby at about 5.2 tall. The Rovers fans sang to him " there's only one little fat one" much to the amusement of his colleagues. Funny what we remember from the past.

My first visit to the Den ended with me in the home end, and thankfully we lost 2-1, at that game we had a young Keith Curle out on the right wing, I seemed to remember he was very quick

I remember that Portsmouth game too - only my 3rd away match! "There's only one little fat one" became legendary. I also remember getting crushed on the footbridge at the station after the match. 19/39 for me (plus Upton Park!) but only been to the new grounds of 6/39 of those clubs listed.

Only 5 unfortunately, 6 if you count Greyhounds at Eastville. Interestingly the person that put together that quiz is a Gashead. Actually, that's not interesting.
Overall I've been to 352 grounds which, also isn't interesting.
Were you able to stand in pi$$ in any of the other 351 grounds ?
