Here's the hedge seperating the fans from the track at Kispest Honved (Budapest) v Sturm Graz at the Bozsic Stadion last weekend.

Far more impressive than any Scottish hedge IMO



The hotdogs, beer & smashing up the stadium by the Graz fans were interesting throwbacks to the 1970's.

Just like a drive up the A933?

no chance, thats no in the same class as brechins hedge.

East Fife have the best hedge. Raith Rovers definately have the worst hedge.

Saw a few nicely trimmed bushes at football grounds, but only remember the one hedge, at Brechin (which is a lot nicer a wee place than Arbroath is incidentally.).

Burntisland shipyard!

Brechin is a WEE place, correct! Arbroath is a far bigger place and a lot nicer too, we have a beach, they have a hedge. No contest!

Aye, and yer beach had a few added extras in plastic bags not that long ago. A hedge would have been a better hiding place surely?

East Fife's hedge used to be Raith Rovers' hedge.

Aye but Raith mucked up it's registration and p*ssed the hedge off so it came to us (taking cover!).

Hedges are fine but not practical. Give me a tidy bush anytime.

Really it was a hedge that was on the edge of our garden, but actually belonged to the council, despite us thinking we owned said hedge. East Fife came and took the hedge after we'd tried to put the hedge into our garden.

But we don't care cos its a shit hedge, can't even take it to the Perth Garden Show.

is the hedge behind the goals still there at stair park in stranrear? that was quality

Took me a while but I get it now. Very clever!

Haddington Athletic have a mighty fine hedge

What's more impressive is that behind that hedge is another one

"Glebe Park is the only ground in Europe with a hedge surrounding its perimeter."

- a phrase I often see banded around on football ground websites, but is this actually true anymore seeing as the hedge is replaced by a concrete dyke behind the segregation gate for about 1/4 the length of the pitch?

Don't think so.It never had anything on Brechins anyway .

Yes yhe Glebe have a nice hedge, quite pointy in part's.

Forgot to say well done to Stirling on Saturday for successfully landing the ball on the hedge and making the groundsman get his ladder out - Brechin's equivalent of the crossbar challenge

Did that not happen the week before at the East Fife game also?

happens almost every week...

Fancy hedging your bets it happens again?


Tree times!

That's not the statement. The Glebe is the only ground of a senior club in Europe with a hedge surrounding part of its perimeter.

People often forget we also have a hedge on the opposite side of the ground.

Fir f**k's sake!

You call it a beach but it is so bad they have not thought of a flag colour for it.

Oh also forget to mention we do have a beach - a bea(e)ch hedge

They certainly do

damn....beat me to it

think this beats getting the ball down from a hedge

This is the hedge thread. If you want a tree thread, please start your own.

How can you surround part of a perimeter?

brechin's hedge is class nothing will compete with it

I'll compete with it. I'll challenge it to a 100 yard sprint

Rumour has it the hedge at the Glebe once beat Bobby Mann in a 100 yard sprint.

I'm still supremely confident

But the hedge at the Glebe runs 3/4 of the length of the pitch. Are you sure you can last the distance?

We have a rather classy floral box arrangement in the corner between the North and Main stands. What looks like Mixed Pansies possibly geraniums from my lofty vantage point. I'll try get a photo next time.

Remember to start a 'rather classy floral box' thread though. There's no room for pansies in this thread.

anyone can beat bobby mann in a 100 yard sprint

rothes in the highland league have a very nice hedge if memory serves me right,i can remember it being in similar shape and size to brechins but a much lusher shade of green

It also continues to run for a further 20 yards past where the old peh/souvenir shop used to be.
