Guide to the Grounds

I bought this wonderful poster on ebay a couple of years ago and have finally got around to scanning it in.

I love it because it comes from an era in football where all the clubs were seen on an equal footing. If the same poster were to be made today I doubt you'd see the clubs from Division Four (or should I say League Two).

In the UK we still hold onto the fact that all four of our professional leagues are important. Most Italians won't know much of what goes on in Serie C1 for example. However, as time goes on the importance of these leagues is diminshing.

Personally I think this is a shame, I like to think all 92 clubs have equal precedence (with Cardiff City coming out slightly higher than most). Here's the poster, enjoy:
