    Missed the 1st cloud arena South Shields there Bobby, only went to S.S and Maidenhead give up on most trips due to the rail strikes, just hoping to get to York , Notts and Dorking strikes permitting.

    The South Shields game doesn’t qualify for my set of parameters as it was an FA Cup qualifying round and not the competition proper. We have played a match in South Shields in the FA Cup first round in 1971 but that was at their previous ground, Simonside Hall.

    Setting the bar very high there Bobby, next year we’ll have to win 2games before a ground will count in the fa cup, have you adjusted your parameters to include the fa trophy now? Funny how we set rules, my grandson went on the Wembley tour but I won’t allow that as a ground till he sees a match there though he has got tickets for the Ukraine game coming up.

    My parameters for grounds we have played on are as follows:

    1. League games after 1950, including non league as there is now a proper structure in place.
    2. FAC proper since our formation, if you include qualifying rounds you’re talking about teams such as Hull School Old Boys and Brodsworth Colliery etc.
    3. League Cup
    4. Football League Trophy

    You make a good point about the FA Trophy though and as it only goes down to tier 8, I think it’s got to count?
