Love of the Grounds

Grounds 220🏟️ Stade Poitevin 🇫🇷

Really nice ground this. But just feels a bit passionless. It's dead quiet

Saw they used to have ultras here. So bit disappointed

Very soulless. Angoulême put on a much better matchday experience and are in the same tier. Ground is great and unique though

Ground 219 🏟️ Avenir de Matha

17th ground in France🇫🇷

I am well impressed with this one. Great numbers turned up as well

The non league ground in this area are really impressive for the very small populations of the towns

Matha fans ecstatic as they beat their bigger rival, Cognac

Ground 217 🏟️ ES Saintes Football

15th ground in France 🇫🇷

France is full of these nice sports complexes that are free for the public to use. They'd never build us this in Worcester🤣

Not many here but a decently vocal crowd for a lower tier women's game

Ground 216🏟️ Butthole Lane - Shepshed Dynamo

An incredibly friendly and welcoming club. They even have a groundhopper book where you can sign your name in

"Take a souvenir from the butthole" the program men say

Nice little ground

19. North Ireland 🇮🇪 1st Feb 2025

Mayfield City Vs Strabane (Derry City ground)

Very nice ground tbf. Set of kids supporting their team with a drum and megaphone

Ground 215 🏟️ Derry City

Country 19 - North Ireland 🇮🇪

Not Derry City playing unfortunately but great to see this beautiful ground.

Some young kids still singing with a drum though! Fairplay to them

Great city from what I've seen. Can't wait to see more later. Nice people

First new country badge of 2025 booked. The match is 115 minutes after I'm scheduled to land

So hope for no delays. That might be asking a lot of Ryanair though 😅

Northern Ireland!

Ground 214🏟️ Wycombe Wanderers

57/92

That was the best experience I've had at an EFL club. Sang loud for 90% of the game. The ground is stunning too. That's exactly the type of club I wish my club was like! Limbs at the end was the cherry on top

Definitely gained a soft spot!

Ground 212 🏟️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 The Rock

A ground I've wanted to do for a while. Home of the oldest club in Wales, Cefn Druids (according to their sign)

It's Wrexham women today though. The documentary team is here. Might make an appearance

Loads of American Wrexham fans too

Ground 211🏟️ Kempsey - Worcester Uni

Usually I wouldn't count a ground like this. But I'm making an exception. As this is the first time I've ever seen a game in my town on futbology. So thought I'd come get it ticked off

I've played on this pitch hundreds of times

Ground 210🏟️ Racing Club Warwick

They've done the best with what they've got here. But it's a pretty bog standard 3G ground. Nothing wrong with that, just won't last long in the memory. Nice clubhouse though

First new ground of 2025👌

2024 is finally over

Really not the year I was hoping for travel wise. I'll be massively making up for that next year 🤞.

Disappointed with 9 countries. Only 5 of which being new 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇫🇷🇹🇷🇦🇩🇱🇮🇦🇹🇸🇰🇭🇺

Here's to another year of groundhopping 🫡. Happy new year everyone

Ground 208 + 209🏟️
Briton Ferry Llansawel + Penybont 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

2024 ends with a double game day. So many people from all over Europe came to do the same thing. Nice meeting them all

My girlfriend wanted me to post her Futbology 2024 stats

Spent most of the time reading a book instead of watching but technically still attended lol

Her favourite was Nantes🟡🟢 and I'd have to agree it was the best overall experience of the year. It's brilliant there

Ground 207🏟️ MK Dons

56/92

Only half time but has to be the worst overall experience in the 92 so far. Just soulless. MK and Crewe fans very quiet. Mk made good noise in the first 5 mins I suppose

A fan said "loads have turned up today" which was funny

Ground 206 🏟️ Cradley Town

I liked this one a lot. Humble little club in the black country. Proper family feel and had some passionate fans even supporting their team with a drum. I recommend this

It's a fantastic club. Massive steps forward taken by the club in the last 12 months. Definitely seems like we're on our way back

Moving into an 11,5k seater next season too. Thatll be brilliant

An old man got a massive gash down his face because a player dropped it on him as well 😭. Need a smaller one next year

2024 is almost a wrap.

Game of the year has to go to Worcester City winning step 5 league title. 4-1 at Pershore Town. Not necessarily because of the game itself, but the celebrations after. 4 decades since a league title and one step back to where we belong. The future looks even brighter now🔵⚪️

Ground 205 🏟️ Atherstone Town

Thoroughly impressed with Sheepy Road. Nice terracing all around with proper English non league stands

Ground 204🏟️

55/92

My first UECL game last night. Not including qualifiers. Never expected to see Greek ultras at league 1 Shrewsbury. But that's why the UECL is so great. One of the very few things uefa has got right recently

Ground 203🏟️ Quorn FC

Worcester come back from 3 goals down to get a point against the best team in the league. Their keeper stopped us winning with a brilliant save in the last second

The wind gave them 2 of their goals as well. Both teams finding it difficult to play

Ground 202 🏟️ Tamworth FC

The ground that will host Tottenham in the FA Cup. A dream cup tie 🏆

Tonight a bit more down to reality with a Birmingham senior cup tie with Coventry Sphinx
#groundhopping

My club Worcester City breezed through Rushden & Diamonds today with a 3-0 win. Caught some nice photos of the celebrations

Me taking the photo + the photo

19 years since my first away game. I sat in the home end though so not sure that counts 🤷‍♂️

Ground 201 🏟️ Berriew FC🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Check the first photo on this. It's like walking into a horror film getting to this ground 🤣

Twice at Hampden and once at tynecastle.

That semi final is what I've got set at my best match ever ATM. It will be hard to beat
