The 92 Club
The 92 Club is a 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 Football League club in England and Wales.
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 Football League, and other clubs move to new stadiums.
The 92 Club was founded by Bristol Rovers F.C. supporter Gordon Pearce.[1][2]
