In October 2017 I suffered a mild stroke and for the past 2 years I’ve done nothing but sat around the house at weekends when I’ve not been at work. Needless to say the significant other has become fed up with me being around the house, so she asked me to get a hobby and get outside for a change.
So the idea of visiting all 42 Scottish football grounds came to mind. Not only would it get me out of the house most weekends, but I’d also see parts of the country that I had not seen before or had not seen for many years.
Unfortunately when I told the SO, she agreed it was a great idea, so much so that she decided that she would tag along on the journey. I’m going to have to find another “hobby” for the weekends when I’m not at football lol.
Another reason for doing this journey, apart from keeping the SO happy, was that since seeing Hearts beat Hibernian in the 2012 Scottish Cup Final, I’ve become totally disillusioned with Scottish football as a whole. Hopefully attending games in the lower league will re-ignite the flame and spark my interest once more.
Anyway I hope you will all enjoy reading about my travels, even if my primary goal was just to have a personal account of my journey.
