Football challenge 2012

Post by Rhys1995 »

In a couple of weeks I will be attempting to visit all the football stadiums in London by tube. Just a new take on a TC spin off :) A 'visit' of a stadium I have decided is getting a decent photo of the stadium (so I'm not taking the mick and getting some blurry photo from like a mile away) Came up with this idea over the last two days :) This will only include all the footy teams from League 2 to the PL (so no visiting Harrow Borough FC!)

You haven't considered Tottenham then!
Current best: 19:51:10 (2014). Hopefully that will be broken in 2018 :-)

Oh yes forgot Brentford!

And the Watford scenario, as it's in Zone 7 and I'm being a cheapskate, I'm not doing it :wink:

Right all, just an update from TMOTT HQ on the day before I conquer London..

The final list of stadiums I will be visiting is as follows:
Arsenal (obviously)
AFC Wimbledon
Barnet
Brentford
Chelsea
Charlton
Crystal Palace
Dagenham and Redbridge
Fulham
Leyton Ori-Orient
Millwall
QPR
Tottenham
West Ham

So yes, I'll be attempting to visit 14 stadiums starting at a reasonable hour (would you believe?) Got a hell of a lot of running involved (including a nice 1 mile up to Ori-Orient, lavely.) I may do a commentary on Facebook on how it goes so if you want to keep up with how I'm getting on tune in :) looking like a good day..
