Grounded

<p>In 1989 British football was shaken to the core when ninety-six people lost their lives in the Hillsborough disaster.This combined with the Bradford City fire four years earlier enforced wholesale changes within stadiums?some clubs? electing to move lock stock and barrel to brand-new arenas. Grounded is a unique memoir of the author?s visits to these grounds done in sequential order from Scunthorpe in 1988 right through to West Ham in 2016 each chapter correlating with trips to their former domiciles and summarized with his opinion on their comparatives?not as obvious as may appear. In the process he details what he finds there how the journeys didn?t necessarily go according to plan and the friends he made and in one instance lost whilst indulging in his favorite pastime?a hobby an addiction or merely a candidate for the lunatic asylum? Read it and you can draw your own conclusions.</p>
