Somewhat of a Trivia Question
I heard an interesting fact during Sky Sports this evening. Bloomfield Road became the 51st ground to host a Premier League match. I think there have been 42 teams that have played in the Premier League. That is including Wimbledon. Where are the other grounds. I have most of them but I think I missing a couple
Good luck gentlemen

So - what that suggests is that there are nine sides that have played their Premiership footie at two grounds, an older, historic ground and a new, champagne, prawn sandwich, luxury box ground. Here are a few that I can think of that fit that description:
Arsenal - Highbury and the Emirates
Citeh - Maine Road and City of Manc
Leicester - Filbert Street and Walker Stadium
Sunderland - Roker Park and Riverside
Of course, I must also mention the most hallowed ground (even thought we don't own it any more) - Elland Road!
After a further count, there have been 43 teams in the Premier League
After Bob's answers this morning, we now have 47 grounds.... we need four more
Actually, I think I made an error with one. Sunderland play at the Stadium of Light now, right? The Riverside is Middlesboro's ground. So that's another one. I'm guessing that they may have played a season or two in the Prem at Ayresome Park, but I may be wrong with that.
Aryesome Park and Roker Park are both correct
Three more needed
How about Derby County - Baseball Ground and Pride Park?
I don't think the Baseball Ground was one of them
It just missed out... I THINK
The Dell and St. Mary's, Soton?
That's one I didn't think of
Any more?
