Roots Hall
This ground is pretty good for an all-seater, although I wouldn't
like to have to sit in some of the seats squeezed in on the old terraces. The stand looks
older than its 40-odd years; the two barrel-roofed stands were difficult to photograph due
to the extended ends which was a shame. I hoped to be able to get into the small
double-decker but its upper level was locked, a shame as it would have been a good place
to take a couple of photos. Frustratingly the sun came out as I was about to leave, but at
least I could retrace my steps for a couple of extra shots.
