A website dedicated to the unsung gems of British and European football architecture.

Primarily intended to cover the best of Britain's Non-League football grounds, until I bought a new ultra-wide-angle lens. Now I have now become increasingly fascinated by Football League grounds (but not the Premiership!) as well as the odd stadium or two in Belgium.

Don't expect to see the new grounds - I prefer big covered terraces and pitched-roof grandstands, without an off-the-shelf 'stand' in sight.

'Potentially an anorak site' one review said - praise indeed, and before the latest floodlight section was included!

From the humblest of Groundhoppers to the most sophisticated of Stadium Buffs...
... you are all welcome!

Ghost Grounds
Left to rot, gone to seed - sad to visit but amazing to see, these grounds are like living archaeology as you imagine what it must have been like to watch games here.

  • Please note that all photos used on this site and on our products are copyright and should not be used on other sites without permission. It is rare for a request to use photos to be refused.

  • Football Grounds Frenzy is a Newlands Photographic production - designed and created by Mike Floate.

  • Our speciality is noticing niche markets and publishing related books to interest fellow-enthusiasts. Our series 'The Non League Football Grounds of...' is now into its tenth volume, and further volumes are already planned. Some have called me the Pevsner of non-League football - who am I to argue?
    You could write the next! Write to our address below for full details of what we require and what you will get from the venture.

  • Grounds Frenzy - the book which inspired the website. This perfect bound paperback book runs to 100 pages and features over 160 quality black and white photos of a range of grounds. The format has recently been imitated by the Penguin publication 'Posts'.

  • A further series is aimed at clubs themselves - we will produce books for them to sell. The first in the series gave Chelmsford City a photographic record of their last year playing at New Writtle Street - and the chance to make a sizeable profit. Does your club deserve to see itself in a book? For further details please contact by post -
