DiegoDiego Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 Portogruaro 1-0 Opitergina.Probably the best game I've seen all season. First versus third in Promozione, the sixth tier of Italian football (and there are actually about seven hundred clubs above this level).Porto have a very tidy set up, proper tickets, a decent range of merch and their streak sandwich is the best food I've ever eaten at a stadium. They had one season in Serie B a good few years back and retain a fanbase of around 700. A banner hangs on the main stand saying "President, let us dream, we want to go to Serie A." They even had a handful of ultras on their tiny curva.The stadium itself is a nice one incorporating a velodrome and a tiny basketball court sits behind one of the goals.It was end to end for 88 minutes with very little between the two teams but plenty of chances. Then Porto smashed a winner on the volley from a tight angle. Defeat was very harsh on Opitergina who actually had one of their best games of the season. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DiegoDiego Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 Whats the price of a ticket for such game...€10 is pretty standard for that level. For comparison I pay €14 at Cittadella who are near the top of Serie B. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Connor1874 Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 Was down at Stamford Bridge for the first time on Saturday, in the Toon end no less. Cracking day out, drinking mainly in the Earl's Court area. Nice ground, good atmosphere from the away end, but Chelsea fans are shite. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great day in the sun.Took in conference C showdown between Broxburn and Linlithgow last Saturday. Broxburn winning 4-3 after being 3-2 down. Two poor defences with Lithgae probably being the better team in the 2nd half. Still to see Penicuik this season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been following the EoS closely this season. Great to see the Scottish pyramid really taking off, but this is where you can't help but feel we need to reshuffle the top 4 leagues into top 2 perhaps. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazing atmosphere and experience. The Veltins Arena doesn't look impressive from the outside but inside its a great stadium. BVB showed why they were top of the league. They were the better team and took an early lead. Schalke got a penalty via VAR in the second half which made it exciting, but the winner for BVB was deserved. It was a great trip to Germany and definitely worth the effort. I was there too. 2nd Derby but the first in the Nordkurve. Toyed with the idea of going to see Werder vs Fortuna but ended up going to Viktoria Koln vs Bonner SC. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We play our home games at the new Portobello High School, got Easthouses there on Sunday. They cuffed us 12-1 last time round, but they also cuffed us 13-0 way back last season and we pumped them out the Edinburgh Cup after, so I expect a response.

LondonHMFC Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 Off to Napoli this weekend, as per usual Italian ticketing is fucking atrocious. Honestly never come across a country where they f**k about so much. Was looking forward to visiting Sorbillo for some pizza, but a bomb was let off there last night over unpaid "protection" money. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
