Skegness - Seaside Memories and Football.

 Hopping About. I’m not sure if there’s something that happened in life that pointed me in the direction of visiting a different, usually new, football ground rather than go and watch the teams that I support and love. it's just something I've enjoyed doing since my teens. Skegness Rocks I could blame my brother, Harry, because I distinctly remember him telling me on one of the early games he took me to about the 92 club and how some supporters like to visit every league ground. That was probably when he took me to watch Crewe Alexandra v Darlington (a 1-1 draw BTW) just before Christmas 1980 and his way of explaining why we were going to get another ground ticked off his own list of “to do’s”. That day he’d chosen Crewe because Jimmy Greenhoff was making his Crewe debut just after leaving Manchester United. It seems a strange transformation from division 1 to division 4 but Jimmy was joining his former Stoke boss Tony Waddington for his brief stay at Gresty Road. Groundhopping
