I'm down for the Liverpool game at Wembley on Saturday wish I'd noticed the West Ham v Juventus game on Sunday earlier it's sold out Was a decent night, atmosphere was pretty good, and the locals seemed to like the new stadium. Guy next to me was a season ticket holder who admitted he had nearly given it up, but is now fully on board with the move. Getting out of the stadium itself was simple enough, with loads of space in the Olympic Park to move about. Queue for the tube was quite slow, but no worse than Hampden, Murrayfield or Wembley. Train was fairly quiet, but again it will be interesting to see how they go on a normal Saturday/Sunday in London. West Ham looked decent but not great, especially without Payet, but the new Norwegian Nordveidt looked a tidy player, and Feghouli looks a threat, and scored the third. First time I've seen Noble in the flesh- classic British midfielder. Lots of huff and puff, decent tackler, but gives the ball away a lot without getting the same stick from the fans as others. Andy Carroll spent the game being wound up by the two hoofball centre halves, and just being generally shite. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rab B Nesbit Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 Went to Aresenal Ladies v Notts County Cup QF at the Hive last night. I'd been to Underhill but the first time at Barnets new ground. Two good women's sides with Arsenal coming from 2-1 down to win 3-2 with a last minute penalty. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthernLights Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 I was at Starthspey Thistle v Buckie Thistle. It was a long day out with a train to Inverness then another to Aviemore before catching a bus to Grantown-on-Spey. I left Aberdeen at 8:20am and wasn't back until 11:45pm. Their ground is very basic. The whole thing is enclosed by a big steel barrier, a few cabins for facilities and a very small stand. Goals were not in short supply as Buckie ran out 9-2 winners. I think its probably the highest scoring senior game I've been to. There was a good turn out from the Buckie fans as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rab B Nesbit Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 Hit the FA Cup trail early this afternoon with Sporting Bengal United v Ipswich Wanderers. Played at Wadham a stones throw from Walthamstow dog track. 0-0 draw with the woodwork rattled at both ends but the Sporting should have won. Replay on Tuesday. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross. Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 Aarau v Servette this evening. Haven't made it to either of Aaraus league games so far and missing the live football. Glorious evening for it too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergeant Wilson Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 Just back from FCUM v. Telford, finished 0-0, attendance 2124. Overall good experience, the ground is good but still needs a fair bit if work. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Aldo Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 Not a completely random match, as such, but went to Man City v Sunderland yesterday. The Etihad is a cracking stadium but the atmosphere was terrible. If the Sunderland fans weren't there the place would have been silent. There was also a fair amount of empty seats and I expected more to be going on given it was Guardiola's first game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is because Manchester City are an absolute nothing club with a pathetic fan base who got lucky with obscene amounts of money thrown at them by corrupt foreigners. Best league in the world though: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calum_gers Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 Man City averaged 28,000 in the third tier, not bad for a nothing club with pathetic fanbase. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaggy Snake Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 Going on holiday to New York on Thursday and got tickets for New York City against LA Galaxy at Yankee Stadium this Saturday.

kerrdavidson95 Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Not been to it, but just watched the Reykjavik Derby between Valur and Viking with the former winning 7-0. Some horrendous defending, sublime finishes and a hilarious own goal made it a thoroughly enjoyable watch. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you ignore the shitty temporary away stand it's a cracking small ground. The club is literally the only good thing about an otherwise horrendous town. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
