h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I am writing an entry about London Football Grounds and have been sent to you. I need details about the grounds, facilities, historical facts etc. I hope that you are able to help with this entry.

Ive been checking the members list and apart from me theres only one member online but somemore will come around.

Okay, that'll be great. Thanks for the assistance.

SP, I'd strongly recommend that you take a look at The Internet Football Ground Guide, here: http://dspace.dial.pipex.com/town/park/yfh45/ground.shtml . It's a fantastic site giving comprehensive details of all English League footie grounds. You could also follow the links in the 'Club culture' section of the Virtual Supporters' Club page to go to the official sites of the London clubs. They should contain some useful information on those clubs' grounds.

Good luck with the entry!

I've just had a quick look. The title's a bit misleading isn't it? Only seems to be London's Current Premiership Football Grounds. Plus you seem to have missed out the most famous stadium in London. Where's Wembley???

Still being built.

Not finished inputting all the grounds yet.

I'll be barracking you in Peer Review if you leave out Brisbane Road, Leyton!

When I've finished the entry, I'll let you guys take a look first before I put it into PR.

If you need any more help, give me a shout - I'm around sporadically. I did a couple of seasons working for BBC London on Saturdays, so I've reported from Craven Cottage, Selhurst Park, Kingsmeadow, Griffin Park, Loftus Road, Upton Park, Underhill and the New Den and been in what passes for a press box at White Hart Lane. I've also been to most of those as a fan, plus the old Wembley (for football AND for greyhound racing) Highbury, The Valley and Brisbane Road, although for one reason or another I've never got round to Stamford Bridge...

I've been to Stamford Bridge, the last time Leeds played in the Premiership. I was however absoloutely leathered, so I may not be of much use.

this may help a bit, it goes down to league one and then some, and there's a section "old stadiums"...

Having been to a large number of them as an away fan I'll keep an eye on this.

Are you going to include details of former stadium to give it an historical context. ie Highbury and Plough Lane for starters

Mind you, there's a danger in beginning that kind of thing - where d'you stop? Off the top of my head, I reckon sure Millwall were still playing at The Den (the old one) well after Wimbledon stopped playing at Plough Lane, for example...

Tell you what I'll rattle away and twy and dig up the historic grounds for a separate entry.

Nice one
