Welcome to www.arsenalandtheother91.co.uk in affiliation with www.matchhotels.com On this site, you`ll be able to follow my journey around the 92 English football league grounds plus browse and book
hotels near to all English and international league grounds and other sporting stadiums and venues. Doing the 92 is something
that I`ve always wanted to do but work, married life and other commitments never gave me the time to achieve
it. Now finally, I`ve set myself a 3 season deadline to visit the 92 to watch a game and share with
you on this site. I have now begun my third and final season
As you can tell by the title I`m a lifelong Gooner and as any football fan will tell you, once you`ve got your team `its
in your blood`. From the very first time my dad and grandad took me as a 7 year old in 1977-78, to the East Stand
at Highbury to watch us hammer Bristol City 4-1, that was it, I was hooked. Most of the other kids at my school were
all QPR or Liverpool fans, I was the only Gooner, plenty of playground rivalry and stick I got when we lost the `78 Cup
final to Ipswich in my first season as a supporter. At least it meant I could be Malcolm MacDonald or Liam Brady when we played
`3 and in` as most of my mates wanted to be Stan Bowles, David Fairclough or Kenny Dalglish.
Thirty years later, with countless memories at Highbury on the North Bank with plenty of away days, I`m going to
bite my lip, take off my red tinted glasses and go and watch a game at the other 91, which I`ll share with you on
this site and tell you where I`m going next. I bet on the games and i go to and always check the Eurovision Odds to get the best prices.
Where have I been already? Click on the `Grounds` links on the navigation menu or the quick guide
link at the foot of this page to see where I have been month to month. There are also pics from my seat at the games I go
and see when you click the main picture. I will update this regularly as I visit the grounds, please email me for other
pics. I normally go on my own, but if I take one of the kids with me, I use a fine sturdy pram like one of the ones from Mutsy or Silver Cross
Where am I going next?
Good question. Please click on the `Grounds` links to see what grounds I plan to visit to finish the 92. I visited
31 grounds this season so ended 3 short but will finish the rest next season. But whatever travelling I do, I've
got to make sure I renew my car insurance. So I'm going to have to at least compare car insurance to make sure I get the best car insurance quotes for me.
I hope you enjoy the journey
