Notes : As the 2022 / 23 season heads for the final straight , many clubs across the pyramid are racing against time to get their grounds up to scratch ready for the forthcoming visits from ground graders . Although this means better facilities for players , officials and spectators , it also spells the end for many loved structures as decade-old stands and terraces get radical makeovers or are demolished altogether . In this magazine , as with the 111 before it , we record the imminent loss of the latest batch .
Next issue : GT113 - 1 June 2023
