Notes : Welcome to the 118th edition and the start of the 2024 / 25 season . The summer may have been dominated by EURO 2024 and the Olympic Games , but many football clubs have spent the downtime upgrading their grounds or , in some instances , moving to pastures new . As usual , we take a look at some of the new developments , with the promise of further ground moves to come during the season , such as Cambridge City ’ s long-awaited move to Sawston . The clock is now also ticking loudly for Goodison Park , with this being Everton ’ s last season at this classic venue . We hope you enjoy this issue .
Next issue : GT119 - 1 December 2024
