🧵Thread of the first game and ground I watched in every country to pin to my profile 🌎🏟️
It's my dream to travel to and watch football in as many countries as I can
Here's the ones so far 👇

Grounds 220🏟️ Stade Poitevin 🇫🇷
Really nice ground this. But just feels a bit passionless. It's dead quiet
Saw they used to have ultras here. So bit disappointed
Very soulless. Angoulême put on a much better matchday experience and are in the same tier. Ground is great and unique though

Ground 219 🏟️ Avenir de Matha
17th ground in France🇫🇷
I am well impressed with this one. Great numbers turned up as well
The non league ground in this area are really impressive for the very small populations of the towns
Matha fans ecstatic as they beat their bigger rival, Cognac

Ground 217 🏟️ ES Saintes Football
15th ground in France 🇫🇷
France is full of these nice sports complexes that are free for the public to use. They'd never build us this in Worcester🤣
Not many here but a decently vocal crowd for a lower tier women's game

Ground 216🏟️ Butthole Lane - Shepshed Dynamo
An incredibly friendly and welcoming club. They even have a groundhopper book where you can sign your name in
"Take a souvenir from the butthole" the program men say

Ground 215 🏟️ Derry City
Country 19 - North Ireland 🇮🇪
Not Derry City playing unfortunately but great to see this beautiful ground.
Some young kids still singing with a drum though! Fairplay to them
Great city from what I've seen. Can't wait to see more later. Nice people

First new country badge of 2025 booked. The match is 115 minutes after I'm scheduled to land
So hope for no delays. That might be asking a lot of Ryanair though 😅
Northern Ireland!

Ground 214🏟️ Wycombe Wanderers
57/92
That was the best experience I've had at an EFL club. Sang loud for 90% of the game. The ground is stunning too. That's exactly the type of club I wish my club was like! Limbs at the end was the cherry on top
Definitely gained a soft spot!

Ground 212 🏟️🏴 The Rock
A ground I've wanted to do for a while. Home of the oldest club in Wales, Cefn Druids (according to their sign)
It's Wrexham women today though. The documentary team is here. Might make an appearance
Loads of American Wrexham fans too

Ground 211🏟️ Kempsey - Worcester Uni
Usually I wouldn't count a ground like this. But I'm making an exception. As this is the first time I've ever seen a game in my town on futbology. So thought I'd come get it ticked off
I've played on this pitch hundreds of times

Ground 210🏟️ Racing Club Warwick
They've done the best with what they've got here. But it's a pretty bog standard 3G ground. Nothing wrong with that, just won't last long in the memory. Nice clubhouse though
First new ground of 2025👌

2024 is finally over
Really not the year I was hoping for travel wise. I'll be massively making up for that next year 🤞.
Disappointed with 9 countries. Only 5 of which being new 🏴🏴🇫🇷🇹🇷🇦🇩🇱🇮🇦🇹🇸🇰🇭🇺
Here's to another year of groundhopping 🫡. Happy new year everyone

2024 ends with a double game day. So many people from all over Europe came to do the same thing. Nice meeting them all

My girlfriend wanted me to post her Futbology 2024 stats
Spent most of the time reading a book instead of watching but technically still attended lol
Her favourite was Nantes🟡🟢 and I'd have to agree it was the best overall experience of the year. It's brilliant there

Ground 207🏟️ MK Dons
56/92
Only half time but has to be the worst overall experience in the 92 so far. Just soulless. MK and Crewe fans very quiet. Mk made good noise in the first 5 mins I suppose
A fan said "loads have turned up today" which was funny

I liked this one a lot. Humble little club in the black country. Proper family feel and had some passionate fans even supporting their team with a drum. I recommend this

2024 is almost a wrap.
Game of the year has to go to Worcester City winning step 5 league title. 4-1 at Pershore Town. Not necessarily because of the game itself, but the celebrations after. 4 decades since a league title and one step back to where we belong. The future looks even brighter now🔵⚪️

My first UECL game last night. Not including qualifiers. Never expected to see Greek ultras at league 1 Shrewsbury. But that's why the UECL is so great. One of the very few things uefa has got right recently

Ground 203🏟️ Quorn FC
Worcester come back from 3 goals down to get a point against the best team in the league. Their keeper stopped us winning with a brilliant save in the last second
The wind gave them 2 of their goals as well. Both teams finding it difficult to play
