Paul Claydon
The newest version of this excellent guide is now available and features
again thousands of clubs in leagues all across Europe and even to such far
flung places as Australia, Japan and South America. The basic format is a
map of each country with the location of the prominent grounds marked.
There then follows listings for these clubs detailing address, telephone number and capacity. Despite being in German, most of the relevant details are
easily decipherable and this book again proves it worth to the serious fan.
The 162 fact-filled pages are contained in a professional colour cover giving
this publication a justified quality feel.
Available from Michael Seiss, Präsidentstrasse 13, 44787 Bochum, Germany.
OLD TRAFFORD PRINT AUGUST 1935
By Dave Weldon

unframed, £25 inc P&P. - Reviewed by Paul Claydon
This collectors item print of an original painting represents
250 hours work by life-long United fan and Groundtastic
subscriber Dave Weldon. It shows the rear of the main
grandstand looking from the Warwick Road North bridge
as it looked in 1935, just 6 years before it was extensively damaged by bombing in March 1941. The subject
has been extensively researched by the artist and only 500 signed
prints will be made available. These prints retail at £35 but a £10 discount is given to
Groundtastic readers. (Cheques to DG Weldon)
