what would be the best shout between -

  • North Shields
  • Heaton Stannington
  • West Allotment Celtic 

Looking for the biggest crowd / best atmosphere. 

Ta.

North Shields have been rubbish for a while, but still miles bigger than the other two. Not been to West Allotment's new location yet.

It's where Newcastle Blue Star used to play before the move to Kingston Park Stadium,before they went bust Sarge. 

Also known as Wheatsheaf Park,Wheatsheaf pub and Premier Inn nearby, Gosforth rugby union played their recently as well. Artificial surface.

Hibs 1 v 4 Slavia Prague, Women's Champions League. Att 1,287.

Hibs were outclassed by a bigger, faster, more proficient side but they were in the game more than the score suggests, and they weren't under the cosh by any stretch. A few of the visting players picked up bookings and I don't think they enjoyed the, er, robust Scottish approach. Jamie-Lee Napier is a class apart and will be playing full time football somewhere soon. Slavia's third goal was a properly outstanding drive from distance, I'll be looking to see it again when the game reaches iPlayer. 

Nice of Rachael Boyle's husband to come and support his wife. If the women are WAG, is he a HAB?

After a good start thought they got seriously under the cosh in that 1st half they got carved apart a couple of times before the equaliser and then taken apart  in the 20 minutes before half time. Thankfully competed much better in the 2nd half and could have pulled 1 back. Hopefully they can compete over there in the 2nd leg.

I've admired this thread (and in particular the recommendation to download the Groundhopper app) from afar but finally decided to make an account this evening. I write a blog in my free time about my visits to various football games (some more random than others) and I would appreciate if you could have a look/ let me know your thoughts. So far, I have written about trips to see Cliftonville, Feyenoord, LA Galaxy and Kaiserslautern. I also wrote something on Kilmarnock's win over Rangers at the end of last season as well as a piece on my season following Racing Club Strasbourg Alsace a couple of years ago. A friend guest contributed a post on his recent visit to see Riga FC take on FC Copenhagen. Hopefully you find some of the posts interesting!

that's excellent fella - anything that captures someone's love for the (fucking stupid) game that we all follow, the more inexplicable and tenuous the better,  is top quality in my book - good work  thumbs_up.gif

Maribor 2-1 Aluminij

A great game of football last night. Fifth versus first but nothing between the two sides.

A really good match day experience. Everyone involved was very friendly and spoke perfect English, from the club shop to the beer vendors and the stewards. The stadium is lovely too and right in the centre of town.

Plenty on here will be familiar with Maribor thanks to the regular pumpings they fish out to Scottish sides and you can buy prints of their beautiful match posters from such glorious occasions.IMG_20190914_201327.jpegIMG_20190914_200232.jpegIMG_20190914_225753.jpeg

Thanks for the kind words - I enjoy writing the posts so I’m glad to see people seem to be enjoying reading them!
