What a great hobby I have. Watching live football in all weathers , travelling the country at all hours of the day & night. Meeting like minded people of all different cultures, backgrounds & careers. Looking into the history of clubs & grounds. That’s
#groundhopping
for you
Surreal day yesterday. Visiting & watching a game at the famous Hampden Park along with visiting the site of the second Hampden Park (1884-1903) now called Cathkin Park. The remains of three sides of the terraces still remain Great Football history
Pleased to back involved with

Again you may have noticed my

hobby has taken a backseat recently. Health, financial & mainly just slowing down to get on top day to day activities are the reasons. Mental health is thankfully spoken about openly now, but still needs to be managed every day

1. Not often I say it, but for a Step 7 game I would have paid to watch this game. High temp throughout, technically good with both sides committed to winning a game of football. Great little set up. 👏

I love my grounds with character & Twerton Park home of
@BathCity_FC
certainly has that. Not everyone’s cup of tea, but for me how can you not love those old terraces ? Very friendly stewards,a team who play football the right way. Good luck for the rest of the season
Not been at my best the last few weeks mental health & health wise,but so so grateful for my family around me.Time again to take stock & enjoy the simple things in life

Look at what my local club has recently completed. 👏👏👏. If you have not ticked off this ground or you have not been for a little while. I suggest you pay it a visit. You will be pleasantly surprised.

Toilets next then new changing rooms at the end of the season 👍🏻❤️⚽️
I always maintain that
#groundhopping
is a great hobby which every individual can set their own parameters. Saying that please explain why just to get a tick some go to watch 45 mins each at different grounds on purpose on the same day ? Surely just enjoy a game of football .
Even though I had games lined up this week I have decided to finish

until possibly the last week in June. Pleased with number of games as 100 was target especially as I had a winter break (13/11-26/12) due to work. 95 new grounds ✅Most watched team

Really enjoyed my first visit to
@Emley_AFC
this afternoon. From the moment I arrived at the ground to the final whistle everyone was very helpful & welcoming. Club seems to have some very good individuals at the core. Playing surface & match programme deserve a special mention.
@em_sandy
This backs up my case Emma that the WSL & Championship needs to increase the team numbers in each division. Having just a 22 game league season is very stagnant. Yes the top sides in cup competitions would disagree , but it needs to change quickly to continue to grow
Congratulations to all the

South Central . How did the away side end up losing that I don’t know. They were the better side for most of the game .Saying that a good side grinds out wins & the home side certainly did that. Enjoyable contest
