So when this is all over, do us football ground nerds organise a Euro trip to some weird and wonderful ground ??
I would be up for it
In no particular order.
Prague
Budapest
Bucharest
All cheap as chips and great for doing 3 or 4 games over 3 nights.
Could do all 3 in 3 nights but only if fixtures married up
Are there 2 teams in Bucharest ?
Romania would be fascinating to visit
You don’t want @ElfsborgAddick involved. He will have your passport and money away before the flight takes off. He is an insidious little toad that has ruined my life for the last 4 years.
I get the impression Ricky Otto and Elfsborg have experience of going to matches in Europe - I have F all experience outside of England apart from some shit Spanish 3rd or 4th division game about 30 years ago whilst on holiday (a truly shocking game of football) - perhaps they can draw up a plan ?
I have been here before, a fantastic boozer and many others around it.
Easyjet 3 nights and flight would be around £160.
The city is very nice although the people are quite rude, @ricky_otto would mix in well of course. You'd be throwing money around like confetti(which I do not do) and still have change out of £150.
Go Friday, come back Monday and you'll get 3 games in and have a terrific drink.
Hopefully Otto will fancy a 'swim' in the Danube as well.

Elfsborg has done more than me for sure - but he is 10 years older. My Favourite overseas ground is Valencia - done that 5 times in the last 10 years. Most obscure - Pattaya United. Most hostile atmosphere - Hadjuk Split. Most expensive - Real Madrid. Strangest - Lazio.. subwoofers behind the goal, fans smoking weed and home fans segregated...all very strange.

You say that, in many respects I'd rather do lower division stuff(shut it Otto), as the grounds can be a lot more interesting.
I have been to Budapest - ok city - yep rude people - but with a group of Addicks to watch some footie and have some beers, who gives a fuck about them !!
Can’t remember which side is which - either Buda or Pest - but the hilly side other side of the river is more interesting, especially if you like your WW2 history

But as said earlier, Elfsborg is the man.
Subwoofers, wtf!
Valencia is decent, Spain as a whole for grounds is fantastic. The Vicente Calderon is up there in my top 10.
Most obscure-Quick Boys of Katwijk, played in sand dunes somewhere in Holland
Most hostile-Vasco da Gama v Flamego. It made 80's offs look like tea partys.
Most expensive-Real Madrid v Betis last November
Strangest-Viktoria Zizkov, fans beering it up and smoking 'stuff' on a 9.15 Sunday morning kick off.

Otto has asked me to get him a hotel on the Pest side of the city....................
sent off here for calling the ref a cnut. Wasn't clever and not proud. I was sent off three times in my less than illustrious playing career, and all for the same offence. Apologies to each and every ref on here - the language was wrong (but the sentiment was fair...)

There was me having you down as a gentleman.
I am really, but strange red mists descend on football pitches...as I said, not proud and with kids now playing sports, they are very clear that they always respect the referees. Do as I say, not as I did....
Not a 'who plays here', as I imagine it would be impossibly difficult, but I love the first floating 'stadium' in Africa. (their description, not mine!).
Limited scope for a pitch invasion. Decent crowd, too! Edit I see Singapore pre dated them.

lol
I have made you a better person Dicky.
Funny name for a football team.
But as said earlier, Elfsborg is the man.
Every hole is a goal Dicky, I keep telling you that.
