Totting these grounds up has revealed some strange omissions, for some reason I have never been to Hyde, Witton or Southport, how odd.

Strangely, Wembley (7 times to the old and 10 to the new) and Arsenal are the only ones that I have been to both old and new stadiums.

I didnt include ones that I have been to that are no more, or below the stated division include Kettering, Rushden, Bangor City, Runcorn, Northwich, Borough United, South Park (until next season), Glossop.

Then to confuse Gazelle rules more, there are ground-shares including Wimbledon (Plough Lane and Kingstonian), Bradford PA (Valley Parade), Gloucester (Cheltenham), Epsom & Ewell (Merstham). I havent included grounds that I have been to but not for a match or didnt get in such as Wrexham, Wolves, Norwich and Hastings. I may have cheated with Reading as both times were for London Irish Rugby matches. On the other hand,  I have been to the Millenium Stadium, Cardiff for a football match (Ireland v Wales ECQ).

I don't think both Wembleys should count. It is the same piece of land, just rebuilt.  Do you count the old Bucks Head and the New one?

just spoken to the sterring committee and after deliberation its only one for wembley even if you have been to both .

subsection 75c if the ground is on the same site it only counts as one


rob you can have the grounds like kettering etc if they were at the correct level when you visited . but it has to be a football match you visited the ground for and getting locked out doesnt count . or i could have had wigans ground


on ground sharing its only one point for each ground .

gosh its like being Colin Peake this making up lots of rules

Seeing as Wembley was so completely rebuilt, and is referred to often as The New Wembley, I think you've a good case for counting as two very separate stadiums. Apart from in Gazelle's game.
