Groundhopping: Ground Log

Every ground you have stood in, in one place — on your phone, offline, and yours to keep.

GroundhopBook-style diaries make you sign up, sync your ground count to someone else's server, and then ask you to subscribe to see it. This one does not. Add a ground, log a match, watch the count climb. No account, no sign-in, no internet needed on matchday.

ENTER AN OLD MATCH IN THREE TAPS Most match diaries make you swipe a calendar back two hundred and fifty times to reach a game you saw in 1998. Here the date is three dropdowns — year, month, day — with the year list starting at this season and running back to 1950. Three taps. A Today button sits beside it for the game you have just come home from.

WHAT YOU CAN RECORD
• Grounds — name, resident club, city, country, capacity, the year it opened, a photo and your own notes. Mark the ones you love as favourites.
• Matches — the ground, the date, both teams, the score, the official attendance, which stand you were in, a one-to-five rating and as many notes as you like.
• Competitions — you name them. Type "Second Tier" or "National Cup" once and reuse it; colour-code each one and filter your history by it.
• Photos — attach photos to any match and open them full screen later.

YOUR GROUND COUNT, AND THE NUMBERS BEHIND IT The dashboard shows four figures that matter to a hopper: grounds visited, matches seen, countries, and how many games you have been to this season. The reports screen breaks it down further — grounds per country, new grounds per year, and matches by competition — and exports the lot to CSV to share or archive.

Seasons run August to May by default, the European convention. If you follow a calendar-year league you can change the rollover month in Settings and every figure follows.

A MATCH HISTORY THAT READS LIKE A DIARY Matches group by day on a timeline, each with a colour-coded marker for its competition and the score set in large type, so a season scrolls past the way it happened.
