Have been slightly disappointed with the African Cup of Nations. You expect some tasty tackles and calamity goalkeeping, but its been just a bit dull. Teams tend to stay at the edge of their own box, giving lots of space for nothing to happen in the middle third of the pitch!

Following a team in Irn-Bru Divison 2 takes you to all sorts of places…

Cowdenbeath FC. Must be unique in having a stock-car racing track around it…

Raith Rovers. Ah, the glory days of SPL past have left them with 10000 seats but not that many fans! There are two mighty stands, one at either end, then an individual collection of assorted stands makes up the rest of the ground!

Like Raith, Airdrie have a smart 4 sided 10,000 seater ground, known as New Broomfield or as they Shyberry Excelsior Stadium! Shame they only ever open one stand and will never even fill that!

Alloa play at Recreation Park – or the Rec, and quite literally it is! I can’t find a photo to do it injustice, but – it has an artificial pitch!

Then you have Queens Park. They play at an Hampden Park! Nuff said.
