    This will be the TV gantry for Wednesday.

  • Flitting between this and the Cray game in the club house.
    We came out the stronger team in the 2nd half and won 3-2.
    Gate of around 100, 2.5 Charlton fans.

    March Town v Desborough in the United Counties yesterday.
    March won 1-0 in a scrappy encounter for the crowd of 280.
    The stand is the second oldest being used in the UK.

    The grandstand at Great Yarmouth Town Football Club is the oldest surviving football stand in the world. Dates back to 1892.

    Couple of matches in Glasgow this weekend:

    a very chilly Fir Park for Partick Thistle v Airdrie

     

    A slightly less chilly Ibrox for Rangers v St Mirren

    Do Rangers tickets go to general sale often?
    A poor following from Paisley as well considering it is on the door step.

    Yep, Rangers aren’t very good at the moment so it’s relatively easy to get tickets for anything other than an Old Firm match. 

    It’s a slightly convoluted process and tickets aren’t always cheap (my brother paid £50 for a Europa League ticket on Thursday!) but it’s definitely possible.

    No problem getting Partick Thistle tickets (and very good pubs in the vicinity)!

    Ternana 2-1 Feralpisalo in Serie B, about an hour north of Rome. 10 euro entrance. Very old school experience with litter chucked off tiers and stewards and paramedics smoking. Good atmosphere for an attendance of a few thousand. I counted 11 away fans, they're from a little village on Lake Garda. 



    Then my 3rd time at The Olimpico, seeing Roma 1-1 Fiorentina. 60 euros entrance, maybe 1500 away fans. Quality atmosphere as always.

    Ternana looks a great little ground.

    What nights is the dog racing on?
  • Been to a few games at CD Estepona near Malaga over the last month. They play in the regionalised 4th tier of the Spanish league which includes a couple of the bigger sides B teams. Pleasant 3 sided ground with a synthetic pitch, although the smaller yellow lined pitches marked out in each half can be a bit off putting at first.

    Normally kick off at midday and nice to watch a decent game in the sun. Picture from the game v Yelclano Deportivo a couple of weeks ago.

    A mate of mine who's an avid ground hopper, shared this picture tonight. Turns out this Grade A Mad Shit is taking place at the ground of our good friends, St Truiden.

    Thankfully I was a long way from Reading today. 

    Alemannia Aachen 3-1 RW Oberhausen: 22700 for a 4th(!) Division West game. 

    The stadium feels a bit Leicester or Southampton, except one end is a terrace holding 11600 (€10/ticket). Well worth adding on to a Cologne, Dusseldorf area trip. 


    Taken from Twitter, the banner didn't quite reach me:

    In Morroco and attended HUSA Agadir's 2-0 victory over MSSM.

    An impressive stadium which will host AfCon games next year and World Cup matches in 2030.

    I was at PSG Vs Rennes on Sunday.

    Have to admit, I was pleasantly surprised by the noise the PSG supporters make - the ultras specifically. They were 1-0 down for most of the game (before an injury time equaliser), and they didn’t stop singing/bouncing. A couple of different tifos throughout the game too.

    Queens Park V Raith Rovers at Hampden Park.

    For such a small crowd it actually was a good atmosphere in the away end.

    I thought Queens Park played at Lesser Hampden nowadays.

    Apparently they will play in the main stadium next season as well according to the lady on reception.

    Lesser Hampden is being developed at the moment (feels like it’s been going on for ages, not sure if it’s delayed/behind schedule).

    Was it easy to get tickets Tom? If so how much

    I went past Lesser Hampden , but feel it would be a shame if QP played there. As I said in my post there was a great atmosphere amongst the 1,300 Raith fans who outnumbered the home fans about 2 to 1.
