This has come up in the past, maybe some truth in the rumours!

So what would be the benefit in doing this? Would it be a Business choice or is it a way of helping to develop our U23 players with learning to cope with a different type of league?

Waffles, lots of waffles.

 

[Is it PotG?]

Where did this sprout from?

 

[Gwylan]

Sounds like he's trying to mussel in

I think a Belgian club came to their rescue (Club Burugges if my memory serves me correctly)

More like West Hams 'ground'

Lots of clubs seem to use Belgium as a back door way to get young African players an EU passport.

 

[Insel affe]

This will end in tears, keep your money TB and concentrate on Thee Albion, your doing a terrific job.

 

[Goldstone1976]

We’ll be their feeder club.

Waffles, lots of waffles.

Washed down with beer after the sausages and finish with the chocolates.

Picture is of the Heysel Stadium, so I guess this particular game may have been moved.

They play at Stade Joseph Marien, (capacity 5500) in the middle of a forest, just 10 minutes on the tram from Gare du Midi. They are known as being a quirky left wing side, a Belgian St Pauli if you like.

That’s not their ground. They play at Stade Joseph Marien, in the middle of a forest, just 10 minutes on the tram from Gare du Midi. .

It's Withdean with terraces

 

[Vicar!]

Front view, the ground has been used since 1919 and is one of the oldest in the Belguim League. They are a classic sleeping giant, have kept their own identity through a rash of mergers in the Belgian league. Friendly club, barman bought me a drink when I first visited, and put on a game on the video as the afternoon scheduled match had been postponed.

Interesting mural in the gents dedicted to a local working girl. It's that sort of place.

 

[Machiavelli]

For the fries. Or it might be because he's interested in one of their players, Fritz Saus.

 

[Stat Brother]

Imagine the size of stadium Martin Perry could build on that site:-

We’ll be their feeder club.

No links to our club, but Tony Bloom is poised to buy Belgian second division club Union Saint Gilloise.
