Been to 84 of the current 92. I'm missing AFC Wimbledon, Barnet (went to their old ground), Colchester (went to their old ground), Coventry (went to their old ground loads of times), Crawley Town, Forest Green Rovers, Newport and Yeovil.
Most of those visits were watching City and that season in the third division "helped" but not seen City at Accrington, Burton, Cambridge, Cheltenham, Chesterfield (saw us at their old ground), Crawley, Exeter, Fleetwood, MKD, Morecambe (saw our reserves at their old ground) , Oxford (saw us at their old ground), Plymouth, Rotherham (saw us at their old ground) and Stevenage in addition to the grounds above.
I've also seen the following former league clubs play home games: Aldershot, Chester (Sealand Road and then the Deva against us in the FA Cup), Darlington, Halifax (aaarrrggghhh - so you can guess which was my first visit to the Shay), Hartlepool, Hereford, Kidderminster, Leyton Orient, Macclesfield (saw City win there), Maidstone, Scarborough, Stockport (including a few games against City), Torquay (v City in the League Cup in 83-84), Tranmere (several times with City), Wrexham (several times with City) and York (including THAT game, but I was in with the home fans.)
I've also been to the following disused league grounds: Ayresome Park, Baseball Ground, Belle Vue, Boleyn Ground (or Upton Park if you don't want me to be pedantic), Boothferry Park, Burnden Park, County Ground, Eastville, Elm Park, Feethams, Fellows Park, Filbert Street, Gay Meadow, Goldstone Gnd, Highbury, Highfield Road, Layer Road, Leeds Road, Maine Road, Manor Ground, Millmoor, Ninian Park, Old Show Ground, Plough Lane, Roker Park, Saltergate, Sealand Road, Springfield Park, The Dell, The Den, Vetch Field, Victoria Ground and Underhill.
And I've been to Wembley, both old and new, many times.
Outside England I've seen City play away against Borussia M-G, Feyenoord, Hamburg, Barcelona, Lokeren, Groclin, Ballymena, Schalke, PSG, Rangers, Celtic, Bayern Munich, Ajax and Dundee. And I really hope I'll see us in Kiev for the final.
I've also seen games at TNS, Newtown, St. Mirren and Hearts.
Finally, I've not done much non-league ground hopping, but the ones I remember are: Altrincham, Bamber Bridge (against City reserves in a pre-season game), Bath City, Curzon Ashton, Hyde (watching our reserve and youth teams), Mossley, Prestwich Heys, Radcliffe Boro, Salford City (before it became a circus), Staly-Vegas and Worksop Town.
That's enough copying and pasting for one evening.
