Some of you will probably have seen this before but I only came across it the other day.

I think this is somewhere in Slovakia.

Palace's old ground 'The Nest' (ie the ground before Selhurst Park) was a bit like that, right by the Selhurst railway line.


Here you go



(Palace v Man Utd by the way!)

I don't know who the club are but I'm an instant supporter!

Football and steam trains - an unbeatable combination.

That was used in Euro 2004. I think to get to the far stand, you have to go through a wide tunnel UNDER the pitch

Yes, it would have been used as it is Braga in Portugal.

Isn't Monaco's ground built on top of a car park or something similar?

Eidi stadium in the Faroe Islands.

If you get bored with the match, you can always watch the trawlers.

I know Tynie's been here. Not th greatest of settings for the ground to be in, but the view afforded from the main stand is stunning.
