How could we forget Kenilworth Road, with a bunch of conservatories down one side, and the entrance through a house.

Unsurprisingly, you can only get at Venezia's Stadio Pierluigi Penzo by boat.

J'les aurai!
used to like the old stadiums before all seaters came along,it's like the heart & soul have been ripped out of them
for some reason there's nothing like vast expanses of empty terracing
some of my favourites i did see before the seats went in were anfield,old trafford,white hart lane,highbury,the dell (it was just odd),goodison,villa park,st.andrews,roker (probably all time fav this or WHL),molineux,st.jame's park,stamford bridge,baseball ground,ninian park,craven cottage
there's a few i regret not seeing,maine road,victoria ground,ayresome park,hillsborough,brammel lane and the biggest hampden park,must of been awesome before the seats went in
the parc des prince in paris is one of my favourites too

I am loving the fact that even the Italians have graffitied "ACAB" on the wall

It would be nice to think they sold souvenir scarves: they'd make a mint.

Prompted by a FASCINATING similar thread on another board. Football grounds with unusual and/or interesting features & facts about them. GO.
SC Braga. Has a mountain at one end.
Atletico Madrid (the very Albion-named Stadio Vicente Calderon) has the Madrid ring road running underneath one stand.
Everton have their own church stuck inside Goodison Park
Edna, do you think that possibly, you could be every man on here's ideal woman?!?!?!? Putting up stadium porn......my word!!

Anyone who's ever tempted to suggest the Amex is too far out of town and away from the local amenities can DO ONE. This is a new stadium in Colombia

Fill your boots
The last guy I went out with was more of a rugby man, and he could not quite get to grips with the whole Albion thing on my part. I don't think I've ever actually gone out with a fellow Albion devotee. Perhaps this is where I've gone wrong Let the Dunk see the yellow card.

Madness. You've got thousands of candidates on here. Odds are at least ones single. Were it not for the fact that I'm engaged to the possible re-incarnation of Florence Nightingale AND Mother Theresa, there always has been an allure attached to a women in a football shirt
