The Ninety-Two Club is a groundhopping society, in order to be a member of which a person must attend an association football game at the stadium of every current Premier League and EFL Championship, EFL League One, EFL League Two club in England and Wales.[1]
The 'club' takes its name from the fact that there are 92 teams in the English professional league tier. The list of stadiums changes each year, as clubs are promoted and relegated in and out of the EFL, and other clubs move to new stadiums.
The Ninety-Two Club was founded in 1978 by Bristol Rovers F.C. supporter Gordon Pearce.[2][3]
