Wouldn't you just hate being a ball boy at the one in Singapore. You would need to be a good swimmer

Reminds me of the story about Gay Meadow, where they had a guy in a boat who would retrieve ball's from the River behind one stand.


The pitch in the Ukraine reminds me of some of the school pitches I use to play on.

i used to play on red blaes pitches. think it was a west of scotland thing as i've never really heard of it being used for football elsewhere, basically tiny red stones or gravel. slide tackles were a nightmare, i remember any time you either slid or were fouled the pitch used to rip the skin. the number of times i had my legs or hands torn with some of the red gravel caught under the skin so it had to get peeled back and disinfected, ah childhood memories

one stadium i always wanted to go to is inverness caley, one of the more picturesque stadiums in the country but they got relegated to the first division so no reason to go up for a while unless we get them in the cup (although our record against them in the cup might suggest not going)

might as well throw in a couple of other stadiums i like while i'm at it

celtic park

allianz arena in munich

The Bird's Nest that they used for the Olympics was pretty cool.

Not as cool as this one.
