Lost League Football Grounds - Tapa dura

In the twenty-five years since the Bradford City fire and the Hillsborough Disaster four years later, more than a third of all teams currently playing in the top four divisions of English football have relocated, and this is a process that is continuing rapidly. Currently under construction or at an advanced planning stage are new ground for teams like Chesterfield, Everton, Liverpool, Portsmouth, Southend United, Tottenham Hotspur, and Bristol City. During this period a number of the most famous grounds in the country-such as Highbury (Arsenal), Ninian Park (Cardiff), Maine Road (Manchester City), Ayresome Park (Middlesbrough), Roker Park (Sunderland), and Leeds Road (Huddersfield Town-have all disappeared. This new book provides a full and detailed history of the lost league grounds of Britain, and includes a great selection of photographs from in and around the grounds, with an eclectic mix of nostalgic memorabilia to bring some old football memories back to life.
