Ross. Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 Local derby yesterday, Aarau v Wohlen. Last home match before the winter break so Aarau reduced the price to 10CHF. Only 3700 odds there, it was f*cking freezing and the game itself was an absolute bag of shite in quality terms. 1-0 to Aarau though, which I think makes it 12 games undefeated against Wohlen. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mantis Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 Looking for any feedback about Lisbon. Going there mid January. Looks like Cova da Piedade on Sat 14th. Sun 15th both Benfica and Belenenses are at home at the same time. Could go to Belenenses and just do a stadium tour at Benfica. Benfica v Boavista or Belenenses v Rio Ave... also I'm sure I read somewhere that somebody got refused entry to Belenenses with just a simple compact camera (mind you my phone would probably do). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great and beautiful city to visit, however watch yourself down some of the side streets at night as there's a real chance of wee gangs trying to rob you. If your digs are off the beaten track think about getting a taxi back especially if you're steaming. You'll also get quickly bored with the amount of people trying to sell you drugs. And watch your feet for all the dug shite on the pavements. Football wise I went to Benfica on my visit - it's very easy to reach on the underground. Impressive stadium and they have that eagle that flys about. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Mantis Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 I'm going by soccerbase which has been reliable in the past. Certainly has the matchdays in order which is the main thing. Also the official UEFA site. Times are likely to vary but it looks like the top league is always Sunday. I also use the groundhopper app for iOS which is absolutely brilliant. 17 minutes ago, highlandcowden said: Am in Lisbon myself 15th,have the specific match days/times been posted yet? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigTamMuller Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 Also went along to the Clyde v Arbroath game, 2 penalties, a free kick and two outside of box strikes. Red card in game also, first thought was yes it was a red with the player going in with his studs over the ball. Interestingly, the guy that was sent off was a substitute and the guy he replaced could also easily have been sent off before hand for an aggressive over reaction and 'head-butt'. Good game though, thoroughly enjoyed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theminsk Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 Was at morton v hibs tonite on saturday night. £18 entry was a decent crowd but bit expensive to see a championship match .. Crowd was quite loud decent game tho morton could a scored a few in the first half . Hoping to go to stenhousemuir v east fife on Tuesday but all depending on time a get away from work 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not being an arse licker here, but genuinely the friendliest places tend to be in Scotland. Been particularly well received in Annan, Queen of the South, Stenhousemuir, Arbroath, Partick Thistle, Ross County, Dundee, Airdrie, Stranraer and Montrose. We were also given a great welcome by one person in the ground at Brechin even though there was not even a game on and we had effectively trespassed through an open gate. Rather than threaten to call the police when we told him we were just having a look around the ground he offered us a drink. I think the only negative experience I can recall up there was not even at a ground. It was in a pub in Forfar prior to a match when the landlady having already served me came over and asked if it was a football shirt I was wearing and then asked me to cover it up and said if she had known she would not have served me. There was noboby else in the bar so I don't know who was going to get offended. In hindsight I should have just got up and walked out. As is also the case up there some of the bigger clubs down in England are impersonal and you don't really get to interact with anybody other than a steward from the club. The smaller places are generally better. Next new ground for me is Whaddon Road for Cheltenham v Wycombe Wanderers on Friday 30th of December and I will go into the new year with 19 English and Scottish League grounds remaining having started this season with 32 to do, so that's 13 new ones knocked off since July.

Salvo Montalbano Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 What did you make of Portland Road, Rab? I went to see Town v Birmingham a few seasons back. It had a nice old-school feel about it I thought, although the seats were a bit short on leg room due to the age of the stand (I was in the same stand as you but in the upper section). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was great Salvo like you say a real old school feel to it. Really easy to get in and out of. I went for thr cheaper seats down the front and it was good view. Wouldn't like to sit there on a wet day mind 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
