To The 92: July 2010

After the excitable exerts of last seasons tour round the 92, it's back to the normal week to week game planning again this term. Gillingham failed in their attempts to stay up following promotion to league one the previous season, meaning this year holds trips to Crewe, Chesterfield & Oxford.

It would be nice to get along to a game at Bury and Bradford, whilst seeing a game at the new Morecambe stadium is high on the agenda too. But as I was sure would happen, the three away days against these teams just happen to fall during the 3 weeks I'm away on honeymoon in Florida. That's right, the wedding is now only 29 days away... Soon, i'll be able to save money to see more football games again rather than to buy extra balloons and bird cages...

Having taken time to study the fixtures, I've got myself a list of new grounds of which some will be ticked off the 92 list this season. These are:

Port Vale
Northampton Town
Oxford United
Barnet
Aldershot
Stevenage
Crewe Alexandra
Shrewsbury Town
Burton Albion
Cheltenham Town
Chesterfield
Lincoln City
Peterborough United
Notts County
Yeovil Town

As I start to get through them, i'll note them all down on here.

It's taken a while, but the new and improved tothe92.co.uk has finally been launched. Over the past 6 months it's been a long and constant process of updating, amending, removing, re-admissioning and finally uploading.. Basically, it's been a pain in the arse!

Ok, so that may be a little wide of the mark but it's been much more time consuming than I ever gave it credit for being. I cant say I haven't enjoyed it though. It's incredible how much you can learn about one stadium when you really start to dig into the finer details and it becomes very rewarding when you see the finished article for the first time.

The process started back in January when I turned the first football teams webpage into the new ground guide. Alphabetically, this was Accrington Stanley and having visited recently for a game it made it much easier to write about and including my own experiences was something hot on my mind. There's a number of ground guides out and available for viewing these days but very few are kept upto date and even fewer are based on the designers own experience and knowledge. I don't claim to be an expert but my footballing travels have brought me to a number of interesting situations culminating in being offered a last minute ticket to the Fa Cup Final in May between Chelsea and Portsmouth. An opportunity too good for any fan to refuse. Cup final atmospheres are unlike anyother and as such, your days as a football fan cannot be complete until you've experienced one.

At the moment i'm requesting ground reviews from anyone that's been to a ground or seen a game at any of the 92 football league grounds in the past few months. The reviews will be posted online along with any pictures that accompany the review. So if you have a ground review or even just some basic advice on parking or the best away fans pubs drop me an email on info@tothe92.co.uk or complete the webform on the contact page of http://www.tothe92.co.uk/
