<p><strong>Shortlisted for the 2023 Illustrated Sports Book of the Year</strong></p><p><em>Remarkable Football Grounds</em>is a collection of some of the most memorable places to watch and play football around the world.</p><p>Ranging from the stellar stadiums of the <strong>Premier League</strong> to windswept islands in the Scottish Hebrides or the far-flung Pacific, including stadia that resemble flying saucers, a crocodile and an armadillo! <em>Remarkable Football Grounds</em> features a range of the oldest, biggest, highest, quirkiest and furthest flung stadia and the stories behind their existence. Italian Serie B team Venezia can be reached by canal, with moorings nearby; Bamburgh Castle football ground lies in the shadow of a <em>Game of Thrones</em>-scale fortress, while Estadio Silvestre is a full-size pitch on the roof of a building in Tenerife.</p><p>Some of the oldest, storied stadiums are here, including Anfield for Liverpool, Fulham, which has a tunnel under the pitch and the two Dundee football clubs, that have sizeable grounds, Tannadice and Dens Park, just 183 metres (200 yards) apart.</p><p>At the quirkier end of the scale, the <strong>Aveiro stadium</strong> in Portugal looks like a giant children's playset, while in Gangwon, South Korea, the football pitch doubles as a ski jump landing area.</p><p>Many of the stadiums come with spectacular views. The Faroe Islands have produced some strong football teams in the past and many of their grounds are set in picture perfect landscapes. The same can be said of Norway's Lofoten Islands where flat land is at a premium and the pitch sides are used for drying fish. In Slovakia, the Janosovka football pitch has a narrow gauge railway that runs between the pitch and the grandstand.</p><p>Others are located in some of the most dangerous parts of the world. Nobody loves the 'away' fixture at Coroico which entails tackling the 'Death Road'.</p><p>Grounds include: <strong>the impressive new Qatari World Cup venu
