All this talk about relegation and the like got me thinking which grounds in league one I've never been too, and hopefully we wont next season.
Done a quick tally and as its stands (without any promotion/relegation), there are 13 grounds I've not been too.
Has anyone done them all?

I’ve been to 14 of them but in some cases (for example Shrewsbury and Bolton) it’s been the old ground.

Been to 15 of them (although the last time I went to Oxford they were at The Manor Ground).
I've absolutely no intention of going to any of them again, nor shall I be visiting the Bet365 Stadium should we scandalously be allowed to drop into the poorly wiped anus league.
Coates Out.

Been to 18. albeit some of them the old ground. Hopefully Cheltenham will stay up so we can have a day out in a picturesque town, likewise Lincoln, Exeter and Cambridge.

Fingers crossed they do because that’s going to mean the Vale will almost certainly finish in the bottom 4. Dropping into league 1 is unpalatable enough, but the thought of locking horns with them again is enough to finish me off.

All of them, a trip to Burton in an actual league match is such a depressing prospect.

19 for me, but let's not go there. It will be 18 should Barrow, MKDons or Harrogate get promoted.

Won't happen but a depressing thought
The standard of football at this level is hard enough to watch without a bloke who looks like Tosh from the Bill causing our defence problems

Oxford’s stadium is like the New Den shrunk in the wash less one stand. A horrible part of Oxford isn’t exactly worrying.

Tbf, I imagine it's quite difficult to find a big enough space in an old city like Oxford where the land required for a lower-league football ground is both available and affordable. I live in York and it's a similar situation with their new ground. It's a decent enough little stadium but it's way out of the city centre compared to Bootham Crescent. Basically just an identakit sports ground next to a retail park. It's just the way of the world these days when it comes to land costs and planning permission, I guess.

Went to Harrogate when they were non league run and managed by father and son unbelievable we could go there in a league game courtesy of Martin Jared & co. They, along with Barrow were both in the National League North when we were promoted in 2008. Staggering that we could end up playing one or both next season. Still, at least we'll have a free bus ride there though, hey?
