It’s all about the rebuild! This issue takes a look at
not only the new stands and stadiums opening
around the country at the start of the 2017/18 sea-
son but also a couple that have been radically al-
tered from when we last saw them. Cash-rich new
owners have seen both Salford City and Billericay
Town splash the cash not just on players but also
bringing their grounds into the 21st Century. What-
ever happens at these clubs over the next few sea-
sons, at least there will be a lasting legacy for specta-
tors.
Regular readers will notice that there is no World
News section in this issue. This is only a temporary
sabbatical and the usual four-page contribution will
return in GT91.
