To my shame, I've only been to three pitches.
Stamford bridge twice.
Woking's Kingfield 5 or 6 times.
The Brittania Stadium once, when Stoke were still in the Championship. Was also still at uni when Stoke got promoted to the PL. It was anarchy that day, people spilling out of pubs shouting, cars honking their horns etc. No one in Stoke slept that night!

Stamford Bridge twice, once as a mascot in the 80s and once for a impromptu kick around on the week we signed kenny monkou and old grey beard threw us off the pitch.
Sellhurst Park 3 times i think the first time was Charlton away when they stopped letting us in for whatever reason just as i got to the ticket booth * remember those * and called back to my mate to take off our shirts and go in the home end , only to see a good number of other Chelsea boys do the same thing, the old bill took us straight in and behind the goal at the sainsburys end where the Charlton supporters were spitting at us so we got moved into the Cantona stand for free.
then x 2 against palace.
Also went Millwall away and got tickets for the home end and managed to climb through the CBL end and run along the pitch to the away end.

Dissapointingly few.
Palace-X2 once when they got promoted V burnley got removed from the net by a copper (was climbing on it) and breaking the 100 metre record from the 657 crew after going to watch with some palace mates.
Stamford Bridge- played there in a tournament
Sutton Utd-played there
A**x-played a friendly against them

Only been on one to be honest,I think it was at the Bridge at the end of the '82-'83 season.
The reason why I remember the year was because as I walked across the (wonderfull,flat,smooth grass) I can remember thinking, 'how can the team play so sh*t on such a great surface?'.
It felt bloody amazing at the time.
At least compaired to the dog sh*t,rubbish strewn wasteland that was my local park back then!.
Funny how things stick in the memory.

A few I remember:
Stamford Bridge: Eddie McCreadie's Blue and white army. Promotion celebration, Eddie Mac most of the players addressing the thousands of fans gathered on the pitch. Until the Old Bill steamed in on horseback.
White Hart Lane: The relegation battle. Most of the Chelsea were locked out, but I sneaked to the front of the queue. Inside the ground it was jam-packed solid, and it was this that caused the crowd to spill on to the pitch. One thing I'll never forget is that video footage showing half a dozen Tottenham fans kicking f**k out of a single Chelsea fan was repeatedly used as evidence that Chelsea fans were the instigators. "They" didn't like us then, they don't like us now. f**k 'em all.
The Vetch: Smaller ground, thousands of Chelsea inside, again jam packed solid, dangerously so because at that time the fences were up. Eventually the Old Bill realised that the fans pushing at the gates, trying to clear breathing spaces, weren't actually bloody hooligans, and opened the gates, allowing us first on to the pitch and then escorting a load of us to a terrace on one side of the ground.
Orient: That time the barrier collapsed. As noted elsewhere, the Orient chairman tried to blame Chelsea fans, even going so far as to invent stories of phone calls from Chelsea fans threatening to tear the ground apart.
The old Wembley. Nothing to do with football this time, the London Rock & Roll show, 1972, with acts including Bo Diddley, Jerry Lee Lewis, Little Richard, Bill Haley, and Chuck Berry closing the show. Screaming Lord Sutch was there complete with the Downing Street Nudes, naked hippy birds dancing on the pitch, Gary Glitter got battered - great day out.
I've got a feeling there might have been a few more, but my memory seriously isn't what it was.
