This website will be featured in an upcoming book that is due to be released in November. The book, called "Around the Grounds" will feature a comprehensive guide to all 92 clubs from the Football League and the Premiership, with stories from fans of each club, and this site was chosen to represent Lincoln City.
The book (full title - Around the Grounds: The Essential Fan's Guide to the Clubs of the English Football League) will be released in November and will contain 300 pages. It is already available to pre-order from Amazon at £16.99.
TK has received national recognition in the past through Zoo Magazine, FourFourTwo magazine and several other publications, but this will be the first time that the site will feature in a book.
However, the book promises to be an interesting read because of the type of book it will be. It won't be your run of the mill "ground guide book", it will take the opinions of fans from each of the teams and profile some of the more unusual stories from fans on away games and various other aspects of the game.
