NOTES
There’s a nostalgic feel to this issue with Mike
Floate’s excellent new book Covered being the lead
article, which should kindle a few memories
amongst our older readers. Alongside this we reminisce over Cambridge United’s Abbey Stadium,
South Liverpool’s Holly Park and the much-missed
Ayresome Park in Middlesbrough. Andy Dakin is
back with the second part of his Rugby League
grounds article and many of the photos used will stir
the interest of those that have a fondness for the
traditional old grounds and stands that once were
so prevalent in football. As the winter nights close
in we hope GT83 brings you a bit of light relief. Enjoy the read.
