Shaun & David's Grounds Tour

17th August 2019 Ground Number: 29 Ground: Galabank Stadium, Annan Home of: Annan Athletic FC Match: Annan Athletic V Albion Rovers Score: 3-2 Attendance: 449 Ground 29 saw us visit southern Scotland and the charming town of Annan to take in Galabank Stadium, home of Annan Athletic FC. Football has been played at this ground since 1953 but you wouldn't be able to tell as it's an impressively modern looking football ground. We aimed for the official club car park on arrival as encouraged to do so by signs close to the ground however it was full when we arrived so local street parking it was just a few minutes walk away from the ground. We arrived at the ground just as the game was kicking off and the Annan PA system is loud. And I do mean LOUD! The neighbours here most definitely know when the teams are emerging let me tell you. Into the ground we go then (after the obligatory selfie of course) and £12.00 entry is the adult price here. Very reasonable we tho

20th July 2019 Ground Number: 28 Ground: Easter Road, Edinburgh Home of: Hibernian FC Match: Hibernian V Alloa Score: 2-0 Attendance: 5544 Our first match of the 2019/20 season would take us back to the Scottish capital to tick off our final ground in Edinburgh. This time we're at Easter Road, home of Hibernian FC.  New work commitments are playing havoc with our ground touring schedule but we're determined to get it done this season so although the updates may be less frequent stick with us as we get through this quest!  David had scouted where to park in advance and, although he went the scenic route, we found free on street parking about a 10 minute walk from the ground. Easter Road is one of these grounds where you have  to buy a ticket in advance. No cash gates here. So, off we go to the Club Shop to buy tickets and, of course, a pin badge! The Club Shop can be found below the Famous Five Stand and, it must be said, is an impressive affair.
