Welcome to 42 Grounds

Welcome to my first post of this, my new blog, 42 Grounds.


2012/13 is shaping up to be a season like no other in Scottish football and it is my intention to visit all 42 grounds in the Scottish Premier League and the Scottish Football League.


Why?


Partly because I've always wanted to visit all the grounds in Scottish football. I've been to many, but why not set myself a challenge to see them all in one season? Secondly, this looks like it will be an interesting season for Scottish football - we have several clubs competing in Europe and several ambitious clubs being promoted to different leagues, not to mention the unmitigated drama that is Rangers Football Club. Thirdly, I feel that Scottish football and Scottish towns in general don't have the best of reputations. I wanted to see if this was justified.


This could be the dawning of a new brave world for Scottish football and I'm going to document my journey, from Berwick Rangers in the south to Ross County in the north and Stranraer in the far south-west to Peterhead in the north-east and 38 league grounds in between, I'm looking forward to this adventure and I hope you'll visit regularly to see how I'm getting on.
