For such a small crowd it actually was a good atmosphere in the away end.
I thought Queens Park played at Lesser Hampden nowadays.
Apparently they will play in the main stadium next season as well according to the lady on reception.
Why is that?
Lesser Hampden is being developed at the moment (feels like it’s been going on for ages, not sure if it’s delayed/behind schedule).
I went past Lesser Hampden , but feel it would be a shame if QP played there. As I said in my post there was a great atmosphere amongst the 1,300 Raith fans who outnumbered the home fans about 2 to 1.

My mate saw them play there earlier this season.
At Lesser Hampden?
The reason I went yesterday was to visit the National Stadium. I have previously been to Celtic and Rangers as well as Raith's ground in Kirkcaldy. As Raith are my Scottish team it seemed too good an opportunity to pass up.
My understanding is QP have an arrangement with the Scottish national team can use Lesser Hampden for training and the FA allow QP use the National Stadium for matches.

Apologies if this isn't the done thing in here but I have created a product that I think people in this thread may be interested in.
It's called the Groundhopper Notebook, and it is a tool that Groundhoppers can use to record the information and match stats of games they go to. To find out more, visit the post below, which I created here on Charlton Life last week.
Have to admit, I was pleasantly surprised by the noise the PSG supporters make - the ultras specifically. They were 1-0 down for most of the game (before an injury time equaliser), and they didn’t stop singing/bouncing. A couple of different tifos throughout the game too.
Was it easy to get tickets Tom? If so how much
Getting tickets was fairly easy. I managed it through their online exchange site, and got ours for approx 120 EUR each. There were cheaper options though.
Hoffenheim is the least supported club in Bundesliga . They are seen as a bit of weird club as they are a product of lots of money being thrown at them. Situated in a tiny town too, not a big city
Managed to go to a St Pauli game back in 2010 when they were in the Bundesliga, thanks to having a friend that was living in Hamburg that knew someone who was able to get a ticket. Amazing atmosphere, one of the best that I've experienced at a game, even though they lost.
Would love to go back one day, unfortunately my friend has now moved, and given St Pauli look like they're about to get promoted back to the top flight it seems like tickets will probably be like gold dust for a while.
Kaiserslautern is one of the coolest grounds I've been to. I've found Bundesliga tickets a mixed bag to buy. Most are achievable besides the obvious ones, where you have to use an agency. If you want the £10 terrace experience then you do have to go down a level or two, which isn't a bad thing.
No trouble for me getting tickets for my last ground hops. After Wycombe away Stewart of Charlton Life fame and I got an Uber to Marlow for 2 games in 1 day. They've won their playoffs and join the Isthmian Premier.
I'm currently at Paris 13 Atletico who are top of the French 4th tier (the 1st level it gets regionalised). To get more fans in entrance was totally free, and I even got a proper ticket.
I travelled to Recife on Saturday for a double header weekend. Saturday I saw Sport v América MG in a top of the table game in Serie B. This game was played in the 2014 World Cup venue as Sport's ground is being redeveloped. It was a good game which finished 1-1, the standard being top end of the Championship. Very good value for the £8 admission.
Yesterday I saw Náutico v Figueirense in a Serie C game, this was played an hour after the England game finished so was able to watch our boys at the ground. This one finished 4-0 to Náutico and was a really good game given the level. The swimming pool and basketball court are on the same site as the football. This is probably the best ground I have ever been to.
Basingstoke v Bracknell in the Southern Premier South on the 26th August finished 1-1, they play on the Hampshire FA HQ. Bracknell played with 9 men for 30 minutes and more than held their own.

Thank you for taking the time to read this.
Friday night - Hoffeheim v RB Leipzig 1-1
PreZero Arena
Fritz Walter Stadion
Quite possibly the best football atmosphere I’ve witnessed. Absolutely quality
Brita Arena
Another good atmosphere in Bundesliga 2
I’ve tried getting tickets to a couple of club games in the past in the Bundesliga and they’re like gold dust.
kaiserlautern €27
wiesbaden €12.50
I’ve got 5 stadiums lined up for the Euros, but not the same as seeing the club fanbase.
I did Monchengladbach and Fortuna Dusseldorf a few years ago which id recommend.
what Euro games have you got?
im going to Albania v Spain & France v Poland

Hungary v Switzerland (Cologne)
Turkey v Georgia (Dortmund)
England v Denmark (Frankfurt)
QF1 (Stuttgart)
Will also have tickets for England’s QF/SF/Final if they get that far. If things go to plan in the group stage then the QF would be in Düsseldorf.
The other ones were between 100-200 EUR.
