[Albion] Glad it wasn’t Panathinaikos…

I wonder if any of our fans saw ‘F*** Off Elgin’ graffiti?

never mind the graffiti, their newspapers make interesting reading

Except they don't play their European games there. They play at the Olympic Stadium (with a roof that's falling down )

I once saw Olympiakos v Ajax at the Olympic Stadium in front of 80,000. The doors got kicked in, thousands were stood in the aisles, it was complete chaos but a really exhilarating atmosphere. Then it dawned on me sat in the home end that I must look more Dutch than I do Greek, and there were not too many near me (ie none) who didn’t look Greek!

Part of a Brian Owen piece in the Argus:
'The OPAP Arena was an amazing experience.

“Well yes,” said my friendly newsagent in Monastiraki.

“It's a nice new stadium. But you should come to see my team, Panathinaikos.

"Our stadium is a true hell!”

Sounds tempting.'

Anyone else pop up for a look? I never got in anywhere but bloody ell, you wouldn’t want to play them after dark, or even before dark for that matter View attachment 170608View attachment 170610View attachment 170610View attachment 170611View attachment 170612View attachment 170612View attachment 170613View attachment 170614View attachment 170615View attachment 170609
