I've finally been shown how to put photos from disc to blog, beleive me I'm extremely 'technophobic', so this is no mean feat(!), and I've just started up a grounds photoblog.
There's not much on it, and it won't get updated too often, but it should grow as the summer progresses.
Thanks for allowing this unashamed advert!
Good site! I may have to start one next season, camera will be primed as well.
Snaps of Chesham United now added.
Mishi - good snaps at both Chesham and Amersham - I played at Amersham in the 80s and it now looks much better than then! I also remember a year when Chesham got a good running together and played a side from a much higher division (Football league) in the FA Cup and - when looking to maxamise the attendance - found some terracing under a bank of earth! Is this one of those you snapped I wonder?
Think it may have been Cambridge United in 1979/80 season? I have the programme somewhere.
yes it was, i was there that day, it was a real struggle for Cambridge, the pitch was a mudbath, Roger Gibbons finally made the breakthough for cambridge who went on to win 2-0 and went out to villa in the next round.
I too have the programme, it still in my car.
Thank you, that's kind of you.
Thank you to anyone who looks in, enjoy!
Another one added to my list. This time a foreign ground. That of Calais SO, at the impressive Stade du Souvenir.
Many thanks for allowing to indulge myself by mentioning the grounds I'm publishing photos of on here.
I'm not after compliments, I do it because I enjoy it, and hopefully, by mentioning each one on this thread, it will give people the opportunity to look at some snaps, who might be interested in a particular ground, but no have time to look at my blogsite otherwise.
Looking at the 9th photo down that's one hell of a slope they've got!
to see two more grounds added, neither non-league, but Stade de France, in Paris; & Leyton Orient.
I wil be adding a few more over the next week or so, which will be non-league clubs, including what's left of the old, derelict Collier Row ground.
I'll post on this thread when i've done so, in case anyone's interested.
thanks again for allowing me to indulge!
JA Drancy, just outside Paris, who are Division Honneur, which is level six.
thank you for allowing me to indulge & mention my site on here again.
Hope some of you enjoy looking in!
Thank you to those who have personal messaged me, saying they've enjoyed the posts on my blog i've plugged on here.
I've just added another, a couple of weeks ago I had a look at the Edgware Town ground, still standing but for how long...very sad!
I went there with Northwood once, to play Romford, in Isthmain Div 1 towards the end of the 2k/2k1 season. Even then I'm not sure it was ever up to standard.
Welling United....also home of Erith & Belvedere of course.
Then two more grounds from Drancy, in France.
Thanks to anyone who takes the time to view them.
More to follow in the not too distant future.
Mishi, keep up the good work mate. Really enjoy the site.
Thank you once again to anyone who chooses to look at them.
Better late than never, should have been the first lot I did really, my own club-Dulwich Hamlet! Not surprisingly, the biggest group of snaps for a ground so far!
Thank you once again for anyone who looks in.
Good photos again,ive only been to the outside of Dulwich Hamlet on the way back from kent to middx,have to agree with you about not having covering behind the goal, for people who like to watch behind the goal it is hard to create an atmosphere.
You're doing a fantastic job Mishi , love the photos of Champion Hill in the snow.
Brook - how long have you had covering behind the goal? And has anything been built next to the seated stand along the side?
thank you again to anyone who looks in.
A shame that the "Warren" is only being used for ressies matches. Are there any plans for another club to move in there?
It was stated in the latest edition of Groundtastic that Hayes and Yeading were moving back to Yeading for 2009/10 and selling Church Road, Hayes for development.
