Eriskay, a stadium of rocks.

We were on the ferry from Barra to Eriskay when the Eriskay team got on in full kit. Beats a minibus for away matches!

Quite glad I started this thread now, there's been some fascinating posts. I love a stadium, me.

class thread! will try and dig out some of my faves tomorrow,

Think the best I've done abroad is Darmstadt (before the recent renovations) - class old skool ground.

I'm nearing my 250th stadium so want to pick a decent one, may take inspiration from this thread!

For all of SP's obvious shortcomings, I do LOVE a stadium surrounded by narrow streets and rows of houses.

Selhurst Park just looks like a work house from the 1800s Is there a blue plaque confirming this?

This one in South Korea has a ski jumping slope attached

And a cliff face, superb!

Likewise. I've never seen that picture before but now I have I am determined to get to a game there. It looks quite magical.

I assume that HNK Trogir in Croatia have a strong defence[emoji848]

Always found this one, and it's history particularly fascinating, doubles up as a cricket and footy ground. Cadbury's in Brum.

Ticked . The only ground in the world with a world heritage site at each end.

Not unlike the Amex when Bruno and Murray both play.

If Brighton had to go for building the stadium on Shoreham harbour, which was one of the options, it would have probably looked similar to this.

I just love the fact that it is a football book written by David Bauckham. For me, that even beats 'Anders Dreyer' in the European U21 Championships thread.
