Football pyramid challenge

Quoted from bradzmilne

I’ve seen the ground hopping tours of the Netherlands.

Believe Mike Dean is a big advocate of them.

Might look at it moving forward

I’d just do it yourself, can please yourself and get tickets you want and in decent places.

I agree about lazio, it’s the same when I go to Hellas, some would hate it behind the goal but I love it. Italian football is simple though; wanna sit and watch the game, sit down the side stand. Want to get involved, get behind the goal…

Me and my four best mates from back home have each been putting £20 in an account for years with the idea of going to the Euros next summer for our 40ths. I was badgering everyone for ages to get signed up for the England travel club and get to some home qualifiers/friendlies with me and maybe an away qualifier or two to get our points up but it fell on deaf ears, so the plan was changed to just going and not getting tickets but just going wherever England where. Fine. Then six months ago one of them decided he's not bothered about going Germany. So the plan changed again to a little tour of a few countries for some end of season matches in a few countries. Now one of them has turned around and said he doesn't wanna go to any footy at all so we're just going on a normal holiday. I guess I should be excited and grateful that I've got mates to do this with but I'm still a bit copulated off to be honest!

What's been your favourite ?

I have been to a good few , lot's of random one's though - I did Braga ,Porto and Besitkas which were all pretty decent and unique in their own way .

Went to Havant yesterday , good family club - it seems less serious the lower you go .

I really want to do Dortmund , going to try hard to get a ticket for the Euros next year for that - not sure it will be so easy .

Braga is on my list. Love that stadium.

Quoted from bradzmilne

Porto is beautiful, stadium was nice too.

Would love to go to Besiktas… How was that as an English fan?  

Horses for courses, in regards to picking a favourite.

I love Italian football, the first ground I did was Lazio & I’ll always have a soft spot for them. However, the was fierce and there undoubtedly scary undertone being stood in the Curva Nord… It didn’t bother me but it would have others.

St. Petersburg for a World Cup Semi & Wembley for a euros final.

Saw games out in Rwanda too, while I was out doing some work.

Too many genuinely special memories to pick one. I’m very aware I’m an absolute nerd but we all get our kicks somehow!

However, home is where the heart is… Nothing quite compares to BP.

I can get hold of Dortmund tickets, I thought it was a little bit touristy but it’s another “must do” for anyone interested in that type of thing. Just PM me if you need any assistance.

Besitkas was amazing , crazy atmosphere there tbf , I didn't have any problems with their fans they all seemed pretty nice , I know there has been trouble in the past but Istanbul is an amazing city ; i went with my wife and kids (not to the game ) and they were very welcoming and friendly .

That's great you have done so many grounds  , I don't think you are a nerd everyone's got their thing .

I will let you know about Dortmund , if i get no luck for the Euros for sure .

Cheers

That's a shame  , I was the same for Brazil world cup was setup to go for years , and then just didn't end up going . Regret it a bit now .

Bragas ace , great town to .
