Bleep1673 1,634 Report post Posted Saturday at 19:17 (edited) Apart from your current Home grounds, how many others have you visited? Be honest, this is not a competition. Include foreign ones as well. I am not asking for teams, so if you eg, have been to Fartown, and the John Smiths Stadium, count that as two. Cup finals, Bash & Magic weekends also count. When I get over my headache I will divulge my score -Moderate I think. PS, You don't have to name them unless you want to.

Bleep1673 1,634 Report post Posted Saturday at 19:33 (edited) My current score is 45. Although that might change when my memory sobers up. My first foreign trip was to France in 1985 for a France v GB Match. I got stuck in a snow drift on the A62 coming back from Sheffield.

DimmestStar 258 Report post Posted Saturday at 20:52 I honestly can't remember them all but as Hull KR fan I remember going to Nottingham to witness our record win 6-100. Don't know what the ground was called but is was close to the M1. I've been to Borough Park (Blackpool) and Preston North End (think that was v Chorley Borough). Also went to the Isle of Man for a RL version of the charity shield versus Wigan. We played Union Treiziste Catalane in the challenge cup at a ground which wasn't where they are now. I've been to all the variants of London Broncos plus London Skolars. I've been to Toronto, Toulouse (both grounds) and both Wembley's. I haven't even seen a picture of Rovers first East Hull ground at Craven Street I don't think one exists but the next 2 grounds on Holderness Road and Preston Road continued to carry the 'Craven' name.

Colin James 370 Report post Posted Saturday at 21:36 Been to most of the grounds outside SL that have been used in the last 20 years. Just trying to think of the more unusual ones. Can I count The Cliff (Broughton Rangers) as I have played football there? Oakwell? Wakefield played there once and I've been watching City there. Swinton played a 'home' game at Orrell.
