Grounds Visited

Although I have not been to as many grounds as many other groundhoppers who produce excellent blogs, who are into the hundreds, I am trying to visit as many grounds as I can whilst promoting Welsh league clubs. When I started this blogsite, my initial aim was to visit a total of 50 grounds by the end of the 2014/15 season. This goal was achieved at Bangor City’s stadium in May 2015. The next groundhopping goal was to reach the landmark of 100 grounds as soon as possible, and the century of grounds was finally achieved in September 2017 at Llansantffraid Village!

Below are grounds I have visited so far on my many journeys along with links to the groundhop blogs that have been written for that ground.
