How many different grounds have we had? I'm thinking seven or nine, but both could be wrong. |  | | |  |

I believe it's 13 but we've been at some grounds more than once: White City, Highbury and Loftus Road. |  | | |

Highbury? I didn't know that. |
Twice. Once in 1930 for two weeks when Loftus Road was closed because of crowd trouble and one game in 1984 when we had to play a UEFA cup home tie there because we had the plastic pitch at LR. | | | |

I didn't know how many, but I used to tell people that we'd had more grounds than any other club,
Could this be true ? |  | | |

Yes, definitely true and never likely to be beaten. | | | |

According to Gordon Macey's magisterial 2009 near 600 page tome it's:
1. Welford's Dairy, Kensal Rise
2. London Scottish, Brondesbury
3. Barn Elms
4. Home Farm, Kensal Green
5. Kilburn Cricket Ground
6. Gun Club, Wormwood Scrubs
7. Kensal Rise Athletic Club
8. Latimer Rd
9. Park Royal Agricultural Showground
10. Park Royal Stadium
11, White City a)1912 for 2 games due to rail strike; b) 1931-33; c) 1962-3
12. Loftus Rd 1917
13. Highbury a)1930 1 match; b) 1984 1 match
I also recall that in about 2013-14 season the Club had features on each ground in the match programme, including site visits. Fascinating stuff.
The second Park Royal ground seems like a missed opportunity as it was purpose-built for 1907 and accommodated 60,000 . It was commandeered for the war effort in 1917. I wonder how things might have turned out so far from the Shepherd's Bush heartland? | | | |

Thanks for the correction. It appears that Wikipedia is more accurate than a book! (To be fair, Macey got it right in the 1984 season match listing but referred presumably by error to "a match" in the ground history section. | | | |
