Got to do the 42 - Martin McNelis

Events in the summer of 2012 inspired Martin McNelis to undertake a long-held ambition to visit all forty-two professional grounds in Scotland. Within an eight month period he travelled the length and breadth of the country, as such this book provides a unique snapshot of the Scottish game in a period when many seem to have written it off. Along the way Martin overcomes many obstacles, including the unpredictable Scottish weather, questionable sat-nav directions, changed kick-off times, reluctant sons and, on occasion, unhelpful stewards. What emerges is an odyssey that establishes the keen interest at all levels in the Scottish game from the Champions League to the Ramsdens Cup. Reports of fitba's demise are greatly exaggerated.
