Can you get former grounds on this app e.g. Shrewsbury's Gay Meadow?

I was prompted by your post to have a look at this app. I think I may be tempted to go Premium.
Unfortunately, it doesn’t look like there’s a former grounds function. Surely they must be considering that for a future update.
If not, when Brentford move to Lionel Road in 2020, that’ll presumably mean my entire Griffin Park history will be wiped.Last edited by cantagalo; 16-11-2018, 03:17.

I've gone premium and it's handy for going back and finding games I've been to. But the list doesn't go back forever.
I can't find an option for former grounds and it feels like there should be one.

I’m really enjoying adding in matches that I’d almost forgotten. I’m sure I’ll be unable to complete it accurately as I stopped buying programmes about 20 years ago.
I’ve noticed some discrepancies. Not all FA Cup games have been included. Today I had to manually add Brentford’s humiliating 3-0 defeat at Telford in 2003. I knew I’d been there but needed Google to find out when.

I'm going to wait until Christmas to go back through my archive and add on all my games dating back to 1992.

Even among the nerds and anoraks who use this app there are differing level of degradation we find acceptable.
I inputted all the grounds I've ever been to at the point I got it and have added all matches and grounds since. However, I draw the line at adding every single game I've ever attended! I don't know how I'd recall them all anyway, I kept no record until 2012.
I also had to gerrymander things and not put in the Cardiff City matches I attended at most of the grounds or I'll end up with a Tan United badge showing on my profile. I don't want to look like a mug.

There’s no way of adding grounds without adding a fixture though, am I right? So for all the grounds I visited prior to 2017, I have to either add a random fixture, or I need to pay a subscription to access the actual games I went to.

I should probably point out I meant 'saddest' as in mournful/sorrowful, rather than geeky/nerdy. I mean it's a Groundhopper app, the latter is presumed.
Incidentally, if you watch a lot of women's football prepare to be very frustrated by it.

When you manually add a game, does the app add it to the list available to everyone else? I’ve manually typed a couple of step 5 games that weren’t listed but wondered if the app picked up gaps and absorbed them into their database.
