Full Description

Scottish Grounds 1990s is a photographic series by photographer Tony Davis that celebrates Scottish football stadiums in the 90s.

The limited edition A5 zine contains 27 black and white photographs across 28 pages.

These stadiums had survived the test of time, braving the elements of decades of bleak, harsh winters coupled with the relentless tread of hundreds of thousands of dedicated fans as generation after generation followed in their forefathers’ footsteps.

Widespread stadia redevelopment had already arrived in some parts and was soon to blanket the British Isles, with seemingly new uniform structures replacing the old iconic grounds that gave each club its own identity.

Massive changes were just around the corner. But on these travels Davis discovered grounds steeped in tradition, each with a rudimentary, mystical feel. Uniquely quirky, they were a far cry from today’s modern lookalike stadiums.

“They were all quite magical. A ’Stadium Freaks’ paradise. Much of what you see in these photographs sadly is not there any more and it’s still changing all the time.” Tony Davis

Over the years Davis has compiled a deep archive of pictures that capture British football culture in the 80s, 90s, and 00s as well has being well known for his rave photography, his work with the British Culture Archive and Café Royal Books.
