  This book is a celebration of the dugouts that grace the pitches of football's Non League clubs. The variety of styles and constructions demonstrate the social and geographical backdrop that the games are played under - as well as the sheer absurdities and subtleties that occur at the bottom of the football pyramid. This humorous, yet in-depth collection of photos takes a look at the quirky side of football, where teams play to small crowds on pitches that range from picturesque to downtrodden. Top clubs may have their ergonomically designed seats and heated dugouts, but at the other end of the game the managers and substitutes talk tactics and shelter under portable huts, leaky roofs and crumbling walls - showing the true spirit of our glorious national game. Dugouts contains more information than you ever realised there was to know about Non League dugouts. Simply, this is a must-have buy for football fans across the leagues.
