In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran are here to talk about a frustrating 2 points dropped at Crystal Palace. They then discuss the regeneration of Old Trafford. Finally, Nik is joined by special guest Michael Statham from the Football Oranje podcast - who gives us a more in depth look at our EL opposition FC Twente, and then runs through the (many) Dutch connections currently at United.
Hindmarsh. Home of the mighty reds
I was at that same Lebanon-Iraq game....I remember being torn on who to support, just as well it ended a draw
Griffin Park - Home of Brentford FC
I could also say this stadium is close by.
Town: Antwerp
Team: Royal Antwerp FC
Stadium: Bosuil
Capacity: 16,649
The stadium was built in 1923 and two of the stands are still in use. The Business seats building behind one of the goals was built in the early nineties and 10 years later the family stand behind the other goal was built to replace the demolished terrace stands behind the goal.
The original stadium:

i was 10 but i remember that Moussa Hojeij free kick that made it 2-2!
we ended up getting knocked out of the group stages!
Do you have a pic of that?
I posted the view from the top, covered almost half the stadium.
Good thing it did, we lost 1-0!!!! It hasn't been used again since

Great idea for a thread!
I remember standing on the concrete terraces at the far end there with my brother back in the day.
Shit, I didn't realise you lived in Cheadle, bit too close for comfort. Mind you I didn't realise they had a football team either.
There appears to be such a thing as Gatley AFC too!

Or the closest ground to where I now reside ...
Edgeley Road Stadium, the home of Stockport County FC.

I was there a couple years ago. Nothing like 50mph gusting winds blowing in with a storm on its way. Great sightlines and great views there, though.
Mine:
TWC Stadium at Uihlein Soccer Park in Milwaukee.
Univ. of Wisconsin-Milwaukee has a nice, though small, stadium.
Englemann Field:
Kimberley Park, home of Prudhoe Town:
Shielfield Park Berwick-upon-Tweed. Home of the only Rangers in Scottish football.... and Berwick Bandits Speedway
Taken from my chopper
The pitch at the bottom right corner of the picture is Old Shielfield, one of the former homes of the Gers.
The Ducket - only the brave. I don't miss the horizontal freezing rain.
Good thread btw

Current home of the Rochester Rhinos (let me know if the image doesn't show up please).
Side note at the top just to the right of center of the photo you see a complex of buildings, light brownish in color, that is where I work.
Pre-game to a WPS match (Women's soccer league)
Sadly having trouble tracking down a decent picture of old Holleder Stadium where the Rochester Lancers of the old NASL , the place my family had season tickets to back in the day.

Similar to Rampla Juniors stadium then
Yup. The stadium is built a bit on the sand. I guess the people of that small town hadn't heard that Christian song about the stupid man and smart man.
Fun fact (not really fact but highly probable) the team that plays there (or rater the town where this pitch is) has developed the most PL players per capita.

One thing that characterises the team in the stadium I posted is they don't hoof it. I guess they are fed up of going to get the ball every time they do in training, or during games (more likely that they have no protection from the strong coastal winds, so long balls are very wayward).
Either way, I wouldn't be surprised if the same applied to this team, which could explain that fun fact.
Read this as Klocknocker stadium.
Also it's bizzare that its named after German Company and it's in Virginia!The Oval, Belfast, home of Glentoran FC
That looks like a computer-generated image. Does it look like that in real life? Very impressive if it does, especially for the US.
Closest to where I was born - Moss Lane, home of Altrincham FC (and sometimes United reserves):
Closest to where I am now - Emirates Stadium, home of Arsenal FC:
Grew up and spent most of my days here:
Closest to where I live (and have for the ten last years) is Alfheim Stadion, of Tromsø Idrettslag:
(which I hate to go to, but I've played a few matches there and that's alright)

Bloody freezing there as well! Is Tutties Neuk still on the go?
