Reviews Club Shop GROUNDHOPPING INFORMER 2000-2001 By Thomas Hardt and Michael Seiss Agon Sportverlag, 162 pages, 25 Deutchmarks Inc P&P - Reviewed by 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.
