Description

The Silence of the Stands is a poignant and uplifting travelogue that chronicles a unique season in football. When the game disappeared in March 2020, writer and broadcaster Daniel Gray used its absence to reflect on everything the game meant to him. He made a pledge to be there whenever and wherever fans were allowed to return, and this book is the result of that promise.

Gray's story is a moving and heartfelt account of a surreal age, offering a poignant peek at a time of social history from the two-metre-distanced tea bar queue. With behind-closed-doors matches and travel restrictions, trips to Kendal and Workington seemed impossibly exotic. This book is a joyous and surprisingly uplifting exploration of a season that no one wishes to repeat.
