If you find yourself in Madrid and Vallecano are at home then I’d definitely recommend checking them out - it’s dead easy to get to from the city centre. I really enjoyed my visit today. Their ground is quite old school, and has probably seen better days, but the lack of polish appeals to me with these things. It all felt like an authentic football experience. The game was a good one too. Vallecano easily the better team in the first half And went in 1-0 after a penalty for handball, but Elche were like a different team after the break: fast, counter attacking football that Vallecano struggled to deal with, and crosses that caused havoc whenever they swung in. Finished 2-3 to Elche. Absolute howler from the Vallecano goalie for #2. Vallecano had (a bit harshly) a guy sent off for a trip at 1-1 (that’s the aftermath in the picture), and there were a couple of good ‘handbags’ instances - about half the players involved in one just before half time. And it’s lovely and sunny here. Around 20 degrees. Feels a long way from the Glasgow I left yesterday morning. A great way to spend a Sunday lunchtime. And a quick epilogue to add to my weekend out in the bars, going to the football, riding public transport, etc in Madrid... A request today from my work to not come in for week and avoid socialising due to the upsurge in coronavirus cases there. Ole. (I feel fine by the way.) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adamski Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 (edited) A bit of groundhopping with a difference while the football is off - bike run this morning around all (I think!) the current senior and (now ex) junior grounds in Glasgow. Thinking this would make a decent charity cycle run at some point (for someone else to organise!) Pollok, Rangers, Benburb/Rossvale, St Anthony’s/St Cadocs, Maryhill/Drumchapel, Partick Thistle, Glasgow Perthshire, Ashfield, Petershill, St Rochs, Celtic, Shettleston, Vale of Clyde, Hampden.

Just over two hours - including stops for photos, taking wrong turnings, stopping to check etc! My geography of the East End isn’t great. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used the map on the WOSFL website for the grounds: https://wosfl.co.uk/your-local-club/ Granted that could be wrong/out of date though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Different Drumchapel. It's Drumchapel Amateurs that have Glenhead. Drumchapel Utd of the WoSL will be sharing Lochburn. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eednud Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 Adelaide University 1 Port Adelaide Pirates 4, South Australian State League 2 at University Ovals. This is Tier 4 (A-League, NPL SA, State League 1 then 2). Teams don’t need enclosed grounds until NPL but do need perimeter fencing at SL1. Crowd varied from 100 to 130 or more as reserves and Under 18s play before main game so always a few players/families/friends hang around plus it’s a public park and used by people going between the city and North Adelaide. Used to play there in the SA Masters League on Sunday mornings, early kick-off 9.30 usually accompanied with howler monkey noise from nearby Adelaide Zoo. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eednud Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 Meant to add this is the sort of venue for many games used the pools companies when they used Aussie games years ago. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ivo den Bieman Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 I saw Workington Reds draw with Newcastle Benfield a couple of seasons back in the FA Cup. Friendly wee club and quite a nice set-up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
