Tilson - number of league grounds

[Interpol Shrimper]

It struck me when I woke up in the middle of the night that there can't be a lot of league managers who have been in charge of a team at as many league grounds as Tilly has for us. I know there's a fair few fans on here who keep a running count of how many they've done but surely Tilly must be up there. I mean look at managers like Gradi & Ferguson, they may have been in charge a long time but the majority of the time they've faced the same teams year in, year out (particularly Ferguson).

Can there be any other manager who has done what Tilly has done, especially in recent memory, particularly with one club? Any statto care to count how many it actually now is, oh & don't forget to include ex-league grounds such as Rushden (ha ha!!!) & Cambridge?

Allardyce and Warnock will have done more grounds, but probably not with the same club.

And see my edited post when I realised my error

 

[Firestorm]

Of current managers I think Mickey Adams has done all 4 divisions so I would imagine he has been to a fair few grounds

Hull City
Ipswich Town

Well, there's another two we get shoot off that list by end of March!

But, judging by that list, what you are actually telling us, that for Tilly to really increase his total we have to get into the Premiership :D
