Sitter!
A tour of Christchurch Soccer Grounds, by Ron Griffiths (Sitter! contributor and Rangers AFC member)
"Rangers Park, (Rangers AFC) 10 out of 10:
Rangers are fiercely proud of the fact that they own their own ground and clubrooms (the other clubs in town do not).� It even has its own flood lights, which give off a little bit more light than your car head lights on full beam.� If there was an award for friendliest football club in Christchurch, Rangers would win everytime.� From 'joke-a-minute' Rick Fitzpatrick on the gate to the 'Last of the Summer Wine' trio on the embankment.� Cosy clubrooms and great atmosphere at the aftermatch function. (P.S. I support 'em but come along and see for yourself) $4 entry, $2 if a member, team sheet provided."
Ron then goes on with similar length blurbs about the other Christchurch grounds.� If you want to know more you'll have to buy a copy of Sitter! or accost Ron in the clubrooms at some stage. But for the record here's how Ron Griffiths rated the other grounds out of 10:

Barry from Presidents B reckons it should get an 11.]
