I regularly wander the web watching non league fixtures, for little or no reason I'll stop for a looksee. Today it was Newcastle Town v Bootle, the Newcastle as in under Lyme (Stoke really).
What grabbed my attention was the bike track / velodrome, I had no idea this existed. Anyone ever attended, ridden their boneshaker around it?
Venezia. Would love to visit. Wedged in among houses, docks, yachts and what looks like a theatre of some sort. Snug as a bug in a rug. An actual lagoon only metres away and the Adriatic in the distance.
I'm not sure I'd even look at the match.

I bet they don’t have a coracle like Shrewsbury used to have to collect the balls from the river.

I've always loved the idea of being able to watch football in a climate that meant you didn't need a roof on your stadium

I heard they are going to dig down to expand their stadium.

Behind one end, there was a wall very close to the goal, so close that the East Stirling players would be hovering waiting to pounce on the inevitable underhit goal kicks.
Brechin City's Glebe Park, the marvellous ground which has a hedge running down one side.
"Things had started becoming increasingly desperate at Loftus Road but QPR have been handed a massive lifeline and the place has absolutely erupted. it's carnage. It's bedlam. It's 1-1."
"This one in Hungry is unlike any stadium I've seen before:"
Can see where they spent their budget on that one, Notre Dame roof draped over Dagenham and Redbridge's stadium with an underground carpark behind the goal. Very odd.

I think it's the oldest football stadium in Italy.
Would be great for QPR to play a preseason match there
Good god, surely the winner? Raises many questions but, can you play the ball of the train and what is that bloke up to making gesticulating gestures? He'd want to be careful, I got nicked for that once.
Edit...just the 'gesturing' you filthy minded sods.

Spectacular.

I'd love to go again, though I may need to rob a medium-sized bank first.

Cacran, who play in the Slovakian 6th division, have a fully operational train service running pitch side. Supporters view is often blocked by a train going past. Sorry just seen earlier post. Blame the injections I'm having in my eye at moment.
