Visiting Football grounds from July 13th 2011

After travelling to Highbury to watch a pre-season friendly between Fleetwood Town and Preston North End i decided to keep a blog of football grounds visited starting July 13th 2011 I.ts my first match and i never intended to start a blog . I'm a football fan , not a journalist or photographer so i've started a journey into the unknown and hpefully like a team starting from the bottom of the leagues , i'll improve along the way . I'll certainly miss goals , arrive late , miss photos i should have taken , capture unusual aspects of the game but it'll be my reports , observations , photos and opinions , no one else .
Inculded will be League Non League Minor League Grounds .I'll re-visit some grounds on my grasshopping journey to show a different perspective and report on any changes , improvements .

I've visited many grounds before including rugby , baseball, speedway,moto-cross but never kept a record . In the United states i was lucky enough to see the great Barry Bonds hit a home run for the San Francisco Giants and ground hopped to Los Angeles Dodgers , Anaheim Angels , Kansas City Royals , Cleveland Indians , Minnesota Twins , New York Yankees , New York Mets , Philadelphia Phillies , Turnerfield , home of the Atlanta Braves , Colorado Rockies , Oakland Athletics (The A's , )

I used to watch Baseball (MLB) on 5 Jonny Gould and Josh Chetwynd (as good as Saint and Greavsie) two of the best presenters of sport in my view . Josh was second to none with his stats and Jonny used to tag along laughing and joking . Jonny can be seen on Chelsea tv i believe and ' live' on 5 . Each year they would do a road trip watching baseball in the USA , goundhopping . It was a great advert for the USA and i could'nt wait for my own groundhopping trip with one of my baseball fanatical buddy's Chris Moss .

I'm only going to blog grounds i've visited and entered
