Done, done, done & done. Been back to Loftus Rd and Craven Cottage twice.
Off to Headingly (cricket) in May

Can add Stade Mosson in Montpellier to the list.

I can now add Huish Park in Yeovil to the list.

Public transport in Yeovil is interesting. The bus driver from town out to the ground got so flustered by a bus full of Leeds fans, he forgot his route and started heading straight to the ground. Poor old Mavis (a local) let him know so we went on a 15 minute magical mystery tour as he took her back to her stop!
The bus from the town to the train station also diverted due to traffic. We ended up on a country lane which wasn't actually wide enough. Scraping the hedges both sides
All in all, if you get the chance to go to Yeovil, don't.

County Ground, Swindon. Like Huish Park, no cover for the away end, but at least there are seats, with quite generous leg room. Luckily another (rare) fine day, even had to have the sunglasses on!

Forgot about this thread.

Laos National Stadium
Bernabeau
KL Commonwealth Park

These where the venues I went to on my last travels...

London Road, Peterborough. Going to some quality places this year

Heading back to The New Den next Saturday.......as an away fan......with Leeds.

Hello Everyone,
I'm new to austadiums and thought this would be as good a place as any to start.

General Motors place, BC, Canada
BC Place, BC, Canada
Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, CAL, USA
Honda Center, CAL, USA

Hopefully going back to Canada and USA next year to go to some more NHL venues. I'd love to go to the Air Canada center in Toronto.

The latter I suspect.
I applied for a whole lot of away games not thinking that I'd get tickets, and so far I'm 4 for 4. The part of the whole thing that sucks is that I can see the ground from where I work, so I'm in that part of London 5 days a week anyway. At least I know I'm not missing anything in not being able to have a pre-match drink near the ground. The pub situation around there is extremely dire.

i know oldham fans are told to drink a couple of miles away from the new den if they want a drink before the game



anyway back on topics, heres a list of stadiums i'm gonna tick off the list in the next 6 weeks

dairy farmers stadium - eng v png (rlwc)
telstra dome - eng v aus (rlwc)
MCG - ireland v australia (international rules)
SCG - staduim tour if they do one?
SFS - sydney v wellington (a-league)
parramatta stadium - ireland v samoa (rlwc)
CUA stadium - ranking game (rlwc)
energy australia - eng v nz (rlwc)
suncorp - rlwc semi & final
gabba - australia v NZ (cricket)

i think i'll be all sported out after that
