A bit of a mish-mash of facts, trivia and history for the ground fans. Not really organised into a coherent whole, and has rather too much filler. The section on Archibald Leitch is good, but wrongly credits him with Arsenal's East Stand at Highbury (that was Claude Waterlow Ferrier - Leitch did the predecessor to the final West Stand - see Simon Inglis' 'Engineering Archie'). Not a bad little pot-pourri, though, to fill the aching void before the next Inglis blockbuster. ( )
