Product Description

Review
one of the most conclusive guides to supporting football in Scotland --Daily Record

'bloody funny and spot on about going to the game - in all its wierd and wonderful forms --Herald

Product Description
Some people bag Munros; Gary Sutherland hunts grounds. Come rain, shine, sleet and snow, he visits each of the 42 football grounds in Scotland during one season, documenting the singing, the swearing, the sheer nonsense of what occurs every Saturday afternoon (and sometimes Sundays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays too). A strange sort of safari, Hunting Grounds offers an alternative travelogue round Scotland that covers every aspect of the beautiful - and often not so beautiful - game: the town and their teams, the fans and their obsessions; from practical factors like public transport and facilities, to the more important things like grub and pubs. Bets are placed, buses are missed, tears are shed and pies are scoffed. Join him to re-live a glorious Scottish football season without leaving home.

5.0 out of 5 stars Who ate all the pies?, 21 Mar 2008

By	SmudgerSmokes - See all my reviews

This review is from: Hunting Grounds - A Scottish Football Safari (Hardcover)

Well, the author did of course! I found this book to be very witty and gives the reader an insight into many of the lower league clubs in Scotland, you know the ones i.e not Celtic or Rangers. The book expands on your general run of the mill Football Grounds Guide, telling you the best places to eat and drink before going to the game, who each clubs rivals are and there are many amusing moments with some of the wackiest and also most loyal fans. There are many decent photos in the book too.

5.0 out of 5 stars A MUST READ for any fan of the Beautiful Game in Scotland, 26 Aug 2008

By	BadgerMeister "badgermeister" (Oregon) - See all my reviews

"Hunting Grounds" is an absolute delight. I've lost count of the number of people I've urged to buy this book. Sutherland takes the reader on a journey which encompasses the glorious pinnacles of the Scottish game (Ibrox, Hampden) to the (ahem) less lauded arenas of Scottish football - Central Park, Cowdenbeath on a dreich Tuesday might in January, anyone?

With great humour and insight we are treated to the best (and worst) of what Scottish football has to offer the punter: the clubs, the stadia, the fans, the foul language, and the pies. It's all here.

A perfect holiday read. And essential preparatory reading for those about to undertake their own football odyssey through the underbelly of the Scottish game.

Gary Sutherland should be awarded a medal for this daring, intrepid and hilarious book. A joy to read. Highly recommended.

1.0 out of 5 stars Most disappointing, 7 Mar 2008

By	Paul Kirkwood "kirky2004" (York, UK) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Hunting Grounds - A Scottish Football Safari (Hardcover)

This book is like a blog in print - and a rather dull one at that. Endless references to pies and pints but very few telling observations of the games and its grounds. The format - with far too many sub-headings for each ground visited - hinders rather than helps. The author's repeated attempts at humour soon become wearying. The pics are poor too.
