On Sunday it was time to visit the Alex Jack Cup final, one of the many non-League trophies in Scotland. Our neighbours Whitburn Juniors won it on a very sticky pitch. Real grass pitches in December 🥰

I went to Gala Fairydean Rovers Ams. v Hawick Legion last weekend, because it was played at The Greenyards. This is the home of Melrose Rugby, but they played away so Gala could hire the pitch. First time I've seen a football match here. Lovely town as well.

My favourite league in Scotland is the Highland League. Why? See for yourself. Lovely grounds and some great towns.

Maybe my favourite one in Italy is Avellino. Brilliant ground and great backdrop.

What is your favourite Scottish ground? Mine, by some distance, is Cappielow Park of Greenock Morton. The old main stand, the terracing and the brilliant backdrop with the crane make it the perfect ground imo.

Closer to home this time. Football in West Lothian, my adopted home.

Yes, I've been too. Loved the ground. After the game the two leaders of the barra brava were shot, but it seemed to be drugs related and nothing to do with football.

Just back from 2,5 weeks in Argentina. For me, it's the ultimate football country. Not only the big clubs are great to visit, but I also loved the smaller ones in the provinces.

No, it's Ullswater. I've been to Ambleside United and it's almost as stunning.

Not only heavy industry makes a stunning backdrop. Hills and water aren't bad either.

Let's start my Bluesky career with some football grounds with industrial backdrops.
