Craven Cottage
Dalymount Park
Highbury
Loftus Road
Plough Lane
Selhurst Park
Stamford Bridge

Turf Moor (dozens of times - I live locally)

Maine Road
Goodison Park
Anfield
Victoria Ground (old Stoke)

Elland Road

And maybe one or two others.

I'll pinch The Shay and The Victoria Ground, too. There was a full on riot inside the ground when i went to Stoke v Grimsby. Must have been 1990 or 91. Simimlar thing happened at Blundell Park between the same teams.

Tut. Forgot about Pride Park and Saltergate. Chesterfield was another game (about 1989) when there was another full scale riot on the pitch, half way through the game. Grimsby were up, Chesterfield needed to win to stay up. It was the hottest day ever. It's strange what daft things you remember but the fighting on the pitch was unreal.

Hmmmm... My list of visited grounds is very small too - mainly because I can't afford to watch Rovers home and away (every 'home' game is a 200 mile round trip for me) and I also work half my Saturdays, so I mainly just do home matches.

I've been to the following grounds watching Rovers:

Belle Vue, Doncaster
Keepmoat Stadium, Doncaster
Manor Park, Nuneaton
Kenilworth Road, Luton
Millmoor, Rotherham
Ricoh Arena, Coventry
Villa Park, Birmingham
Britannia Stadium, Stoke
Millennium Stadium, Cardiff
Wembley, London

Think that's about it!

If ever something encapsulated the state of modern football, it's Luke Young (yes, Luke not Ashley) turning down Liverpool because he won't take a pay cut. What a colossal t***.

He should be crawling all the way from Birmingham to even wear the red shirt of Liverpool, and then be grateful.

This guy is the biggest shower i've ever seen in a Spurs shirt. He's an idiot. He thinks he's some sort of superstar. Last year, he was waiting for Barcelona and Real Madrid to bid for him.

He does have a lot of potential, though but has no football brain whatsoever for top level football. I did follow him at QPR last season and he can be a match winner but then he doesn't do anything for half a dozen games. He needs to grow up and mature if he wants to succeed at a decent level.

Most, if not all, Spurs fans say that. He's a brilliant player though, and still only twenty-one so he should mature eventually. Get money on QPR to go up if they get him and a decent striker.

[Undertaker]

He reminds me of one of those Futsal players, or someone that can do amazing tricks for hours on end. Put them on a pitch and they have very little clue. If he grows up and listens, he will be a good player but i doubt it will happen. In the lower leagues, you can get away with it sometimes but not at the top level.

I think Boro will win the Championship. I can't see QPR being anywhere near, unless the owners start being more professional and not run the club like a computer game.

[Patrick Bateman]

I'm tipping Liverpool for the Premier League, QPR for the Championship, and Southampton for League One. Got to study the League Two form. Celtic to whip the Huns too, with Hooper scoring at least thirty goals. What odds will I get for those four, Undertaker?

[Undertaker]

Going by memory, i'd say ;-

Liverpool 16/1
QPR - 12/1
Southampton 9/1
Celtic 4/5

A fiver on that accumalotor would pay just under £20,000. That's better than a smack in the eye.

I'm doing all 5 English divisions and 1 Scottish. So fat, i've got

Premier - Blackburn to be relegated - 13/2

Championship - Middlesbrough - 7/1

League 1 - Charlton to be top 3 - 7/2

League 2 -

Conference -

Scottish 2 - Livingston - 13/8
