NOTES
The dawn of the 2016/17 season has seen a plethora of new grounds and stands opening. In this
issue we make a bee line to the best of them to
bring you our assessment of the new build at AFC
Fylde and the revamped Olympic Stadium, now
hosting West Ham. As well as these, other new or
revamped facilities are either now open, or will be
shortly, at Melksham, Hayes & Yeading, Silver Jubilee
Park (Hendon & Edgware Town), Slough, Fisher and
Darlington. Throw in new stands at Barnet, Liverpool, Tadcaster, Corinthian and Bristol City - to name
just a few - and there’s plenty for you to get your
teeth into this season.
You may notice that we have no Holiday Snaps
section in this issue. Rest assured, it will be back
from GT87.
