Re: Stadiums you've been to?
Too busy watching the matches (and being a little stressed) for photos lately. And of some of the other grounds, who really wants to see pictures of total crapholes like Gillingham?

Re: Stadiums you've been to?
Got the chance to go to La Bombonera last year, was absolutely brilliant!
its in a dodgy area, but that aside the stadium itself is incredible from the side with the corporate boxes to the terraces.
here are some photos i took
this one, apart from showing the shitty state of the pitch, shows how close the boxes are to the pitch, when you're at the front of it the sideline is practically under your feet

Moses Mahiba, Durban (Aus v Germany)
Royal Bafokeng, Phokeng (Rustenburg) (Aus v Ghana)
Mbombela, Nelspruit (Aus v Serbia)
Free State, Bloemfontein (Greece v Nigeria & Germany v England)

Re: Stadiums you've been to?
Moses Mahiba was the most impressive, although the beer ran out by half time.
Mbombela also very good, had an awesome seat just off the halfway line, 4 rows back in the top deck, excellent view.
Free State only had a minimal upgrade so parts were showing its age, best location though, right in town.
Royal Bafokeng, athletics track, open stands, and 25 odd kms from the town. Rustenburg is a craphole. Mining town, and as a white person, you don't actually go into Rustenburg. The nightlife revolves around chain restaurants in a shopping centre. It took 2.5 hours to get back to the shopping centre after the match. The good thing though was drinking 9 rand (GBP0.90, AUD1.40) longnecks in a shebeen opposite the stadium before the match. When a schooner size crappy budweiser was 30 rand inside the grounds, 9 rand was excellent value, and better beer!
Speaking of beers, can recommend Hansa & Windhoek. Carling Black label ads are like VB ads, only less subtle.

No Mbombela as yet, still trapped on my camera, with all my non-stadium photos of Kruger.

Re: Stadiums you've been to?
Great photos. A good time for me to reiterate my fondness for The Den as a venue. Looks smart and has stood the test of time over the past couple of decades.
