With work due to begin on the redevelopment of White Hart Lane in the summer of next year Spurs fans still don’t know where they will be travelling to follow their side. With talk of a Tottenham Chelsea Wembley groundshare across the tabloids we caught up with MF of Spurs news to get his thoughts. Groundsman: What do you think of the idea of moving to Wembley while White Hart Lane is redeveloped? MF: I’d rather not thanks. The rake of the seats is too shallow until you get into the Gods, it’s predominantly red, the beer is rubbish, it’s… Read more »

A lot has been made of German football in the English media in recent years, more so following the financial machine of FC Bayern and fan owned Broussia Dortmund reaching the 2013 UEFA Champions League final. The no frills direct approach of the Bundesliga, famously known for fan owned clubs, cheap tickets and the ability to swirl down a sturdy German beer in the spectator viewing area, further backed the prestige and fanfare of the German Bundesliga. Not surprisingly, these traits of the league trickle down the league system through to the Zweite, Dritte and Regional Bundesligas. My article here covers… Read more »

Ground: Meadow Lane (Revisiting) Still 52/92 Game: Notts County 2-0 Yeovil Town Date: 19/10/2015 Thoughts on the ground: Being a Glovers exile living in the East Midlands, Notts County is the away game I look for first on the fixture list.

On the trail of Championship football, blogger pb1uk heads to Teesside. Middlesbrough was the destination as Boro went in search of a 7th consecutive win in all competitions. Their visitors, fellow Yorkshire side Leeds United. Ground: The Riverside Stadium 52/92 Game: Middlesbrough 3-0 Leeds United Date: 27/09/2015 Thoughts on the ground: After travelling over 350 miles in 4 days I arrived in Middlesbrough ready to tick off my 3rd new ground in said period.

Two years ago, two teams were separated by 2 divisions, now following a rapid decline, Yeovil find themselves not only in the same division as Portsmouth, but at opposite ends of the table. Yeovil fan Ollie Marsh made his way to Fratton Park with the Glovers faithful, hoping for revival in the clubs fortunes. Ground: Fratton Park Game: Portsmouth 0-0 Yeovil Town Date: 03/10/2015 There aren’t many football clubs in England that can boast playing at the same ground for over a century, but Fratton Park has been home to Portsmouth since 1898.

Game: Carlisle United 0-1 Newport County Date: 26/09/2015 Thoughts on the ground: So, this was it. Ground 92. Left deliberately so as to attend a traditional ground with football history as the last ground. A ground with terracing and located within walking distance of the town centre.

Ground: Turf Moor 51/92 Game: Burnley 1-2 Reading Date: 26/09/2015 Thoughts on the ground: Turf Moor is one of grounds left on my 92 that I’d really been looking forward to ticking off, and I wasn’t disappointed.
