International Women's Day seems a good excuse to post some images of one of the most beautiful stadiums i've been to...
17.3.24
Italy Level 4
CF Maceratese 2 FC Sambenedettese 3

The wonderful "Old Knitting Crew" of Berchem Sport, displayed at the game v Llantwit Major in the Fenix Trophy game in November.

England Level 7
Marlow 0 Plymouth Parkway 2
Admission £12
Attendance 252 (40 away)
A deserved win for Parkway whose dominant first-half display was rewarded with two goals. The second-half was closer but it was Parkway who created the clearer chances. The Alfred Davis remains a gem of a ground.

FA Cup Round 3
Brentford 0 Argyle 1
Admission £15
Attendance 16,790 (2,457 away, sold out)
A first visit to the gTech, given Griffin Pk was a classic, it is a likeable ground. Even game chance wise, quality away support, fine winner and a memorable day. Tomas Frank showed a lot of class after 👏

Happy Christmas you beautiful people. Yarnbombing BS4 style.

England Level 11
Chard Town 3 Yatton & Cleeve 4
Admission £3 (less than 45p a goal!)
Crowd est 35
A very enjoyable game which included 3 long-range goals. The pitch at Chard is so steep it prevents them progressing up the pyramid but in beautiful winter sunshine it was a joy to photograph.

Not the greatest looking floodlight but I loved the angle I got of it and that's what made it my favourite floodlight photo that I took this year. FK Bezanija in Serbia.

Gloucestershire FA Challenge Trophy
Last 16
Shirehampton 0 Hallen 2
Admission £6, attendance 120
A first visit to Penpole Lane with its new and for this level, decent and bright floodlights. A goal in each half won it for Hallen, the first a peach of a lob, the second a decent header.

Grounds that didn't make the book.
Sportsklubben Hardhaus, Norway.
As an ex-dockyardee, I'd have liked this one to have, but I don't like the aesthetic of 7 aside and I already had 4 others from Nordland for the book. I hope to go back and watch an 11 aside game though. Its a beautiful region.

Grounds that didn't make the book
Rotation Dresden, Germany
I do love 11am kick-offs, particularly when it lets me have that finest of breakfasts, a bratwurst and a beer. A "filler" game before the afternoon match I was shooting for the book and it was one of the better ones, I loved the pavilion.

Grounds that didn't make the book.
Roche, England.
A hard one to exclude. I took this in the final months of my parents lives, a Cornish gem in what was my dad's heartlands. But the PL post code was represented by a club further north and I couldn't justify two entries due to conscious bias alone.

Grounds that didn't make the book
FC Gotor, Spain
With the Convent of Our Lady of Consolation dominating part of the backdrop, this was on the reserve list but the Aragon region got two other entries included so never made it. I got a 7 goal thriller on my visit, as well as crisp winter sunshine.

I won't routinely post floodlight friday, but I loved the angle of this one i took at FK Bezanija in Serbia. Its rare you get a vantage point of a game from above the floodlights so there was no way I wasn't gonna miss the chance to try for this shot and I got lucky with timing.

Grounds that didn't make the book.

Athletic Club (Bilbao) Instalaciones de Lezama Campo 2.

SD Amorebieta were the home side when I went. The Arch is from the original San Mamés which the club moved to Lezama as a nod to their history. It remains a shame some national stadiums didn't do similar.

Grounds that didn't make the book.
Tampere United, Finland.
The world's only ground close to Lenin and Moomin Museums. Pyynikin urheilukenttä was a temporary home for fan owned United. I loved the wooden stand dating from the 1920s + the beer+home fans were great. They now play at Tammelan Stadion.

With the new album making it three back-to-back classics, the gig was never gonna disappoint. My fave band to emerge in the last ten years or if you'll indulge me, to emerge during the ten years I was worked on my debut book. Superb.

Grounds that didn't make the book.
U.D. Oliveirense, Portugal.
In daylight there's a view of the Parque de La Salette from the side in shot, but its quite cluttered and you could barely see it at night. But I liked the stadium, its hemmed in by urban surrounds and the atmosphere was terrific.

Grounds that didn't make the book.
Hälsö BK, Sweden.
Again this came mighty close but there was a better example of a ground on a Swedish archipelago just 15minutes ferry ride from this one. I did like this place a lot though, and it was incredibly photogenic.

Grounds that didn't make the book.
FSV Krostitz, Germany.
This one came close. In autumn it looked glorious, the locals were nice and the hosts wore green, so pretty much all my boxes ticked but Germany got 13 of the 200 entries, the highest of all, I couldn't squeeze it in.
