No, I'm afraid not, I just have his "The Football Grounds of Europe", which was published ahead of the 1990 world cup in Italy. My, how time flies, it doesn't seem like over seventeen years ago. The book actually includes a photograph of a speedway race at Wroclaw's stadium and speedway gets a few mentions. Both books you and Wibble speak of are bloody hard to get now. Can't get my hands on the pair of them unless I trust some soul on Amazon.

The Football Grounds of England and Wales is probably quite outdated now as it was written more than 20 years ago, and many clubs will have moved grounds. However, from memory it also had a very good section on stadium design principles.

I mean, aside from the clubs that have moved grounds, stadiums such as St James' Park, Anfield and Old Trafford are probably unrecognisable from those depicted in the book.

I found a copy signed by Mr.Inglis in 'The Back Page' a store in Newcastle, the treasure chest of any sports fan. A quite superb collection of DVDs, books, programme and various items from football and other sports including a book shelf fully stocked with every available Speedway book. There was a copy from 1989 available (even signed by Mr.Inglis) but I decided to leave it and spend it on other pieces of sporting literature. However, it wouldn't surprise if the continuing trend in new stadiums starts than he has another go at doing an edition. Most of all, stadium design has become increasingly funcitional and boring.

AAAAAAH did nobody notice the date of the article.........
This was clearly a ploy on behalf of the Rangers board, to ensure that Rangers would actually get a game at Hampden in the near future. A bit extreme but desperate times call for desperate measures.
Now they have made it to the final of the Mickey Mouse League Cup I am sure all plans to re-develope Ibrox will go on the back burner until next season.
