I grew up believing that everyone must live within walking distance from a football league ground - after all I could walk to watch the Palace, and when we moved to South Wales I could walk to see the Swans! Being spoilt like this until I was twenty meant that I soon gave up on watching League football when a further move meant I had to travel to see a home game. I decided that I preferred to make a journey worthwhile and get to a new non-League ground rather than traipse across South London to an increasingly depressing Selhurst Park.
Only in recent years have I re-discovered the pleasure of a large traditional ground, and with a new wide angle lens I could at last include most of the ground in a single photo.
Included in this section will be traditional grounds, with all-seaters accepted under strict ground taste regulations. Hey! Why has no-one suggested that a traditional Kop terrace be preserved?!!
