Being in a country that’s going through a lockdown because of a pandemic is something that I never truly thought I’d be doing, and I’m sure most of you feel the same. Most of our concerns from a month or so ago seem trivial. I long for the days where I was trying to work out if I could make the last train home from Sheffield after an away game, or which football ground I was going to visit next. Or which country I’d be visiting and which game I’d be trying to go to.
Read MoreSt James' Park, Newcastle United
St James’ Park is one of the grounds that I was desperate to photograph. It’s HUGE and has such an aura about it that I’ve always found intriguing. The stands tower above you and it’s easy to imagine the wall of sound that comes from the stadium full of fans.
Read MoreStadion Letná, Sparta Praha / Sparta Prague
This month I was in Prague and had a chance to visit Sparta Prague’s ground. I didn’t manage to catch a game as I was actually there for the European NHL game (ice hockey is another of my loves!) and the dates didn’t match up. I definitely want to head back for a game as this stadium is beautiful.
Read MoreBootham Crescent, York City
As soon as I stepped into Bootham Crescent I was so excited to get started taking photos. The ground has such a special feeling with the mix of plastic and wooden seating, the hand painted row numbers and the little glimpses of houses behind the stands.

Haig Avenue is a lovely ground - I love visiting a ground with plenty of standing sections. They’re really proud of the new main stand and it looks great with all the yellow and black seats.

In my last post, I mentioned that I’d been to Madrid for a few days. While I was there it seemed like a pretty obvious thing that I had to visit the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium. It’s incredibly impressive from the outside with its spirals. I had a quick look at the plans for this stadium and sadly it’s losing the spirals.
Read MoreMolineux, Wolverhampton Wanderers
Today I landed in Manchester from Madrid and headed straight to Wolverhampton to visit Wolves. Dave showed me around and let me wander around the stands for a bit - it’s such an impressive ground and I can never get enough of their badge covering everything, the graphic wolf is just amazing!
Read MoreDeepdale, Preston North End
Today I visited Preston North End who kindly gave me access to inside the stadium. Paul, the maintenance manager, even took time out of his day to show me around and tell me a bit about the club and what it means to him. It turned out that as well as sharing a love of football, he also loved Marseille and had visited a lot of the stadiums abroad that I’d visited too.
