Am I right in thinking that the only grounds CTFC have not played at are as follows:
Man United
Man City
Arsenal
Liverpool
Chelsea
Burnley
Stoke
West Ham
Aston Villa
Bolton
Cardiff
Derby
Ipswich

Any others?

Oh...you mean current grounds, I guess...? Only twigged when I saw Cardiff on your list.

Never played at Craven Cottage.

The 'Bob Taylor' match was at Loftus Rd.

How about Middlesbrough? Don't remember ever visiting the Riverside.

Correct.

Nor Deepdale, Preston?

Sheffield Wednesday.

Blackburn Rovers - the only L1 side we have never faced?

Been to Cardiff. FA Cup round 2 in 2000 (I think) also we played them in the league pretty regularly around then.

Scrub this one off the list.

Cardiff have moved to a new ground since though Swiss-Robin.

If this is the confirmed list then I'm only missing six league grounds at which CTFC have played (Barnet, QPR, MK Dons, Hull, Crystal Palace and Southampton).

Did you not go to the Fulham cup match?

Hull was an odd one - there was about 200 or so of us and about 12,000 of them. Spencer's hat-trick was immense as well.

I've done about 65 Football League grounds, and I'm proud to say that all bar 3 of those are with Cheltenham. The three being Old Trafford, Ewood Park and Vicarage Road.

EDIT - actually 2 more are Fratton Park (Portsmouth v Bolton in the Premier League) and St James Park (Exeter v Accrington in the Conference)

I did the KCom - had two old blokes a few rows back whinging every touch Yates made until I eventually got fed up, turned round and bellowed at them to get off his back. I saw a steward make a move towards me but then settle down when he realised that was as far as I was going with it. I genuinely had no idea Spencer had scored all three goals until heading back to the car park on the bus and talking to the home fans, as all three goals were about a mile away at the opposite end of the pitch.

Oh, and I was at Selhurst Park for the Palace hammering.

The club have played at Villa Park in a 1949 FA Cup 2nd replay against Hereford United

Have Cheltenham played at the Amex or were you there to watch a different game, Robin?

3 seasons ago I believe, lost 2-0 in the League Cup. Very sparse crowd of about 6,000 there.

Yeah we played there in the league cup, about 350 of us were there if I recall, amazing ground one of the best I've seen CTFC play at, they brought in local beer and served great food, not to mention padded seats as a novelty.
