I'm up to 136 grounds with PNE

Done all the above mentioned wth the exception of the Dell

Anyone mentioned the Den yet - on the aptly named cold blow lane?

Is that not the original ground Chorley ??

Edit : just checked , new den replaced old den in 1993, sorry Chorley.

At Brightons ground? If so we were on the same coach!
Two days after the big storm and looking like we'd be on time, we landed in Brighton and the coach driver got lost. By the time we got into the ground (an absolute dump) both our strikers had gone off injured. Drab 0-0.

Yes - one lad had to hang onto my wing mirrors- spreadeagled over the bonnet as we made our escape. His face pressed against the windscreen of my Mk 1 Cortina.

We finally let him back in just before the M6 junction.
Tasty.

Ayresome Park, Burnden Park, Goldstone Ground, Withdean Stadium, Wimbledon's old ground can't remember its name though is their present ground on exactly the same site, Elm Park, Upton Park, White Hart Lane, The Den, Sealand Road - pretty sure I did go there once, Brentford - forgotten its name, Layer Road, Coventry - can't remember its name either, Saltergate. I think that's the lot. There was at one time an idea that PNE might relocate to a new stadium by the water in the old docks - so instead of Deepdale we might now play at maybe Dockside or the River Ribble Stadium. On the whole pleased we have stayed where always have been.

Griffin Park and Highfield Road Ernie - all that red wine plays havoc with your memory you know.
 
Oxford Utds old ground, FA Cup season we got to Wembley, I was 14 years old and got separated from the PNE fans , ended up surrounded by Didcot hooligans, stole my 'Nebber' and threatened to batter me, some decent Oxford fans escorted me to the North End support. One scary experience, and I wasn't scared of bugger all until that day.

You and I were in the same ground on the same day 👍

Stuart Beavon's dad played for Oxford that day as did 'Big Ron'.

Are we old?
