London Stadium - West Ham
My name is David, and welcome to my website, featuring my Football grounds/stadiums I've been to, both in the UK and overseas.
The grounds I like to visit are from the Premiership and Football League clubs, Welsh Premier League, Scottish Premier League and Football Leagues, and also Football Leagues from overseas. After each set of pictures from each ground, I am now adding small maps so you can see how to get there. More will be added soon.
I also visit Non League grounds (from around the UK) and "Lost Grounds" - Sites of old football grounds, which were once the home to League clubs*, but now either no longer there or just a mere shadow of their former self. Sites where the fans once stood, and where the cheers of the crowds, once loud and vibrant, have now become just a distant memory and have gone in the mist of time..
(* League - as in English Premier, Football League and Nationwide Conference, Scottish Premier and Football League)
On my travels around, I aim to get to as many football grounds as I can. I take in grounds from the:
English Premiership
English Football League
Welsh Premier League
Scottish Premier League
Scottish Football League
Overseas League Grounds
(I also like to take in visits to non-league grounds - See my Non League football: Grounds page)
Before anything else, a thank you. I'm not always able to get to a match, but it is nice to visit them all the same
Can I take this opportunity to say a big thank you to the various people at different clubs I have visited in the past, who have shown me such warm hospitality. It always makes a ground visit so enjoyable and leaves happy memories. I appreciate it very much.
CAN I RECOMMEND THESE EXCELLENT SITES
