NEW GROUNDS

..

Despite the fact that the 2000’s were on the whole not particularly good travelling times, I found my way to 229 away fixtures. We made it through the decade as a Football League Club, but only just. The relegation from League 1, (Tier 3), just 128 days into the new decade, was followed 12 months later by the drop into non-league. On average I made it to 23 away games a year and it was a journey back down the league so many of the trips were to well trodden places.

There were 26 new grounds, which made it 120 grounds in total. Even at that point there was no insight which would tell me that the following decade would see me getting out the Sat Nav and finding my way to another 59 areas / stadiums / enclosed fields which would be the staple of Away days throughout the 2010’s.

The table below shows where the 26 new grounds in the 2000’s 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.
