Ground Image Of The Month

The football 'off season' is a time for forgetting about football and taking a rest from the game we love, a time to recharge your batteries and reflect on the season gone and to look forward to what may lie ahead, after spending those autumn and winter months trying to keep warm in those cold drafty football grounds, the summer gives us a break from all that and to enjoy the warmer climate, but certainly not this year, the summer of 2007 has been a total washout with the wettest May-July on record.
One way or another the floods have affected the majority of the country, but the first area to be badly hit by the weather was Yorkshire and especially Sheffield Wednesday’s Hillsborough, the heavy rain resulted in the River Don which flows past the ground bursting it’s banks and leaving up to six feet of water (that’s Row F) this also affecting the electricity supply and telephone lines in the surrounding area.
After a horrendous summer with a bit of luck we can be compensated by a much milder winter, which means a reduction in match postponements, late trains and one of my football pet hates, footballers who wear gloves, after an off season which will be best remembered for these three spoken words, “It’s raining again” or “It’s F***ing raining” or maybe it should be ‘Carloz Tevez affair’ then let's have a long, dry and enjoyable 2007-08 season.
