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.

And me

Bray Wanderers Carlisle Grounds
Do you miss Gay Meadow?
The Silverlands.
Home to Buxton FC in the Evo-Stik Northern Premier (same league as FC United). Current Derbyshire Senior Cup Holders.
These pics are from 2010. I grew up in Slough, and I used to frequent wexham park stadium as a lad when Slough Town were in the conference. This is the unused ground in ruins!
Back when it was in use.

I live 5 mins driving distance from this stadium - The Saddlers
Damn, even the most lower rated clubs in England play on grass pitch, here only the four main divisions play on grass, the rest play on land fields.
Something might be lost in translation, but I don't understand what you mean by "land fields"
Open paddocks would be my guess
Around 5 mins away.
I initially assumed open fields, but they'd be grassy wouldn't they?
I was thinking
Still grass!
- I knew someone would have posted it before me. The bo-ehs! And a great write-up on the local amenities.... although you forgot to mention the 1970s offie which still stock cans of Tennents with Linda Lusardi on the side...
Behold the splendour of Dalymount Park:
If the football isn't to your liking why not take a 20-second stroll around the corner to Phibsboro shopping centre/plaza? It's got it all: Eddie Rockets food emporium, Tesco, a newsagent. There's also a genuinely decent-sized pharmacy.
I'm talking about this type of playing field, in portuguese we called it Terra Batida, don't know the proper english name

Sand/dirt by the look of it! Football is played on grass in England at all levels.
Our climate helps though!
It does look like that. I can't find a decent overhead shot that's not computer generated.
This is the best I've found of an actual picture but it was taken before the area north of the stadium was finished, so it's just dirt in the picture.
