I would miss so many out that way OS! I'd put AFC Wimbledon under W anyway (otherwise you'd have to remember who else puts it first, e.g. AFC Hornchurch). Aldershot, Aylesbury Utd, Ashford Town, Ashford Town (Middx), Aveley and I'm sure I have missed a lot Edit: Altrincham! Aston Villa! There aren't that many beginning with A but if you do it this way you'll be listing the Bs for days

Do I get any Top Trump points for having been to Somerton Park, Newport County's old ground (v Watford, 1977-78 season). It's a long story...

AEK Larnaca, Apoel Nicosia, AEL Limassol, Apollon Limassol, Anorthosis Famagusta. My home country's top flight has plenty. Infact over 50% of teams in the Cypriot First Division begin with A

I remember I once made the mistake of cheering on Omonia Nicosia whilst staying in a Greek Cypriot household in Nicosia. I thought I was being polite in supporting the local team, until the elderly host angrily turned on me for cheering a team of "f****** communists". Of course at that time I had no idea of the political reasons underlying Omonia's creation in the 1940's. Let's just say I got a crash course in the politics of Greek Cypriot football.

It's on a par with Celtic and Rangers but based on political rather than religious ideology. Throw into the mix that they groundshare it's pretty volatile!

If only Wikipedia had existed in the 1990's, it could've saved my 21 year old self some serious grief!

Just reached 48 grounds. Visited Merland Rise last night for the first time to watch AC London lose 2-1 to Worcester Park. I see the first goal but miss the other two as I go for a hot chocolate 5 minutes before half time. Never making that mistake again 😂
