Welcome to another packed issue; we really did
have a job to squeeze in everything we wanted into
this issue - there’s never a dull moment in the world
of football grounds what with the demise of a num-
ber of non-league clubs and the turmoil others cur-
rently find themselves in. Read our reports on the
most notable on the pages that follow.
The summer break is here, but it won’t last very
long with the World Cup and the CONIFA alterna-
tive in London (see p.77). Another notable occur-
rence is our Scots correspondent Jock Gardiner’s bid
to visit all 18 Highland League grounds in 18 hours
in aid of the Abeerdeen FC Heritage Trust. To find
out more about the cause and to follow his progress
search for the hashtag #AFC18in18 on social media.
