As well as Pete Miles’ superb photos and lead arti- cle we take a brief look at the improved non-league set-up in Scotland, visit the new ground of Cove Rangers and take a long hard look at a magnificent new book dedicated to rare images of Scottish League grounds - Lifted Over The Turnstiles. And just to finish it off, we have a report on Jock Gardi- ner’s epic ‘18 in 18’ challenge to visit all the High- land League grounds in 18 hours. Finally, we had hoped to be in a position to report on the new Tottenham Hotspur Stadium but, as the opening has been delayed, we’ll save that for GT95! Groundtastic - The Football Grounds Magazine
