Aalesunds in Norway used to play at a ground with similar safety standards until a few years back



They play what looks a really good little ground now though.

The Stade du Fort Carre, overlooking the Med in Antibes. Hosted one game during the 1938 World Cup in France. Check out the war memorial and fort.

Revolutionary idea from Siena in Italy; a stadium built below ground so not to spoil the awesome surroundings of Tuscany. One stand is just a grassy hill.

Stooper Always loved the old terrace at Burnley



Leek's town is a tidy little bit of kit, and the factory next door looks immense under the floodlights



Love Odsal, always a great away day (especially as the whole terrace is uncovered)

and Vale Park, definitely suffered from redevlopment



splendid
