Welcome to The Pitch Inspection!

A journal bringing you investigations and football stories on the good, bad and ugly side of the game we love.

The Pitch Inspection was founded by football fans Kevin Scott and brother Russell Scott, an investigative journalist whose work is regularly published in the national press.

Every fortnight we plan to bring you exclusive investigations and interesting deep dives on our national sport. We will shine a light on the murky side of football as well as providing fun stories that discuss the positive side of the game.
