NEW GROUNDS

..

The 1980’s, on average saw me ‘do’ around 16 away games a year. My travels were on the whole relatively near to home, although I did venture to places like the Abbey Stadium and Brisbane Road . All in all I went to 159 away fixtures, and visited 30 grounds on which I had not seen County previously. That made it 46 grounds, (half of the whole league at the point). The table below shows where the 30 were; the date of the first visit; the opponents, (and in some cases I have seen us play more than one club at the venue) and the number of ‘County games’ seen at that ground over the years. Click on the ground name for my memories, and also photographs as the ground was when I first visited.
