In which the author, as a sequel to his tour of all of the non-league football grounds in Suffolk, undertakes to watch each team play an away match outside of the county. As a general rule, I find that the lower the level, the better the season diary. But try as he might, when few of the matches attract a crowd of three figures and there is sometimes no hot food or even a programme to review, this lot often proved a bit too small to generate much atmosphere. Taken with the author's adequate but slightly pedestrian prose, the book is definitely for armchair groundhoppers. For us, it's a treat, and I did appreciate the inclusion of reproductions of the programmes and numerous photographs, many quite good, of the grounds. ( )

It is amazing what one can learn from books such as this. In the chapter devoted to the Walsham-Le-Willows versus Wivenhoe Town match, I learn that the home team's main stand 'is constructed from concrete and metal'.
