Cheap Ryanair flights and 4 euros a ticket and I'm basically getting a European away day to Juventus for about fifty quid

Craven Cottage is a lovely little ground.
New stand looks really impressive, old classic stand is brilliant too (they still have wooden seats).

I don’t know if it ever came to fruition but I spoke to a woman once whose business involved installation of swimming pools and doing the tiling inside them and she said they were working on Craven Cottage putting a swimming pool on the roof of that stand. Did that happen? I’m sure it’s the Jags who have a pool in their stadium as well so I dunno if it’s just a Shahid Khan thing

I had a look and apparently it's part of the plans but I guess they're still working on it. Definitely won't be offering a pitch view or anything though.

The thing with Jacksonville that people forget is that it’s still Florida and you should be thankful it’s not a methed up gator

Allianz Stadium (Which is a stupid fucking name as there's about 100 of them so let's call it Juventus Stadium). Surprisingly impressed with it - I thought given it's size it would feel a bit rubbish, but not at all. It's Mestalla-esque in terms of steepness so it really does feel intimidating/imposing when you first walk in. The away section was utter shite but I guess that's to be expected given they're used to catering to more vociferous away fans than us. 4 urinals and 1 portacabin selling food was fine when there was 150 of us but I imagine it's a nightmare at a mens game. Ballache to get to, miles away from the city centre and surrounded by car parks and a shopping centre. But once inside, it's a decent place to watch a game. I'm sure the home end is nicer too.

2-1 loss, proper shit little stadium as well. Away end is crap and mixed in with the home fans, the beer was horrendous and nearly £7 a pint. Thank God Saints gave us a free drink voucher otherwise I'd have been fuming.

I was in the home stand when I went and it wasn't a sell out so I didn't mind it either.
