    Not the longest list in the world but could be worse;

    Dalymount
    Tolka
    Richmond
    Santry
    Carlisle Grounds
    Station Road
    Ferrycarrig Park

    Will try to get out to UCD this season. Quite possibly Friday night.
    I've walked around the outside of Tallaght Stadium a load of times too!

    The stewards in Santry were OK when we were there. All the fans were in the same stand, food was available to everyone.

    The fella who runs the chip van in Kildare is a bit nuts, the curry chips and quarter pounder were pretty good though.

    GUFCT, there is a chance you may be over yet this season with the semi finals of the League Cup being drawn next Monday.

    Ferrycarrig Park seems to be on most people's 'to do' list and I assure you all that you will be mightily impressed

    Been to all the current ones bar Athlone, Limerick (been to previous grounds of both), Wexford (driven past a couple of times) and Fingal (missed our games against Rovers when they were there).

    For former grounds, I was in Kilkenny, the RDS, Whitehall, Pike Rovers (Limerick) and St Mel's.

    Belfield

    Been to all grounds except the Belfield Bowl. Looking at the league table it looks like I may have a reason to visit next season.

    Past grounds visited used for LoI include Markets Field, Pike Rovers, Rathbane, Flower Lodge, Bishopstown, (saw Collingwood cup and underage Internationals in the Mardyke), Kilcohan Park, Greyhound Stadium Thurles, Demense Newcastlewest, Crowley Park Galwegians, RFC, Rugby Sportsground, Ballindereen GAA and Carraroe GAA, St Mels Park, Abbeycarton, Tennypenny Park, Lourdes Stadium, Milltown, RDS, Harolds cross, Whitehall, old Belfield,

    AFAIK the only ground I've missed (used regularly) since the early 70's was seeing Monaghan in Belgium Park.
    Tennypenny Park that was the original name of Buckley Park wasn't it?

    And I'd like to ask the forum, what consitutes a visit? Does it have to be an eircom league match, any grade of a football game or any sports event function?

    Because I've been to most grounds except Wexford Youths Ferrycarrig park, but I saw 20 minutes of a local Limerick league game involving Pike Rovers, an U21 quarter final at Bishopstown,first time I was at the Morton was the National Athletic Championship weekend.

    Like, if someone went to "Sunstroke" music festival in Dalyer years ago, could that be viewed as a visit? If they remembered like.

    You going down to the A League next year?

    I'm missing Limerick and Athlone's new grounds (though was at Pike Rovers' ground and St Mel's), Morton Stadium and technically Ferrycarrig Park, though I was at the back pitch for a pre-season friendly. Can add Belfield Park and Buckley Park to the list as well. Non-league clubs - Wayside Celtic, TEK United, Salthill Devon and Cherry Orchard (to play Bluebell). Think that's all.

    All bar Wexford and Limerick. Even back when Limerick were decent for some reason I always missed Limerick. Haven't been to any of their grounds. Going to wexford soon in the cup too.

    Loads of old grounds too. Was even in Terryland when it was the other way around. I've seen 4 teams play home games in Richmond (Pats, Rovers, Dublin City. Dundalk) 3 teams play home games in Harolds Cross (Shels, Pats Galway), 4 teams play home games in Dalymount (Bohs, Rovers, Pats, Dublin City), 7 in Tolka (Home Farm, Pats, Shels, BOhs, ROvers, Dublin City, St James Gate)

    Some league for ground changes...
