I seem to remember in December reading somewhere that Manchester Juniors had changed grounds – however, the website directions still agree with the cherry red and traveller books. Can anybody confirm this and whether any of the other teams in the ML have changed grounds during the season please

I am in Lisbon on Saturday 19th April for a rock music concert (Porto the night before watching the same band) and would be grateful with help in trying to identify if it possible to get any morning or afternoon games in the capital city on that day and also on the Sunday. Alternatively, any locations on Sunday between Lison and Porto. I understand that fixtures are only available nearer to the time at some (or all) levells. Ideally, I would be interested in lower level leagues

Re Mike Roe's posting on St Mirren, the new ground at Greenhill Road is scheduled to be ready in January 2009 with the club expected to seek dispensation from the SPL to play at Love Street until then.
This week's Pyramid News reports that Rutherglen Glencairn won't be using their new ground until next season to allow the pitch to bed in and that Blantyre Vics may sell Castle Park and move to a (unspecified) new location with an artifical pitch. Evening Times recently reported that Johnstone Burgh, whose Keanie Park ground is plagued by vandalism, were investigating a move to the McMaster Sports Centre which is currently part-time home to amateur side Thorn Athletic. Kirkintilloch Rob Roy have firm plans to move to a new ground for which planning permission has apparently been secured. Finally West Calder United, who have been issuing programmes for some games this season, are expected to move from Burngrange Park to a new home, possibly at the end of the season.

Had the chance to do 3 games in the Illawarra on Good Friday
but just did Wollongong United because wanted to see their new ground.
The other 2 would have been revisits.
However, next week will be Illawarra new-boys, Thirroul FC! Just one station north of Bulli
and directly under the escarpment!

BEDWELL RANGERS of the Herts Senior County League are moving to the old Walkern FC ground next season.
In order to give groundhoppers a final chance to visit their existing ground at the Meadway Playing Fields in Stevenage, Bedwell Rangers have arranged a midweek home fixture against Baldock Town on Tuesday, April 8 with a 6.15pm kick-off. Admission is free and programmes will be on sale at £2.
Please email the club at andyd@bedwellrangersfc.co.uk so that they know how many programmes to print for the game.

Just to let you know that on Easter Saturday St Neots play their last ever first team match at Rowley Park, before they move to their new ground in readiness for next season, when they take on Sleaford Town in a United Counties League Premier Division match, although some reserve matches will be played here after this date.

Edinburgh Counsellors have voted for the demolition of Meadowbank Stadium currently used by Edinburgh City I believe. A new smaller stadium may be built on the site but it's early doors at the moment.As reported in the NL Today, Kirkintilloch Rob Roy also plan to move out of Adamslie Park at the end of the season to a new ground on the Glasgow Road.

The Scottish Junior football scene will be alive and kicking during May and the majority of June so you will have no problems picking up a fixture or two around the end of May. Junior football is totally Saturday only during the dark nights of Winter,( midweek games just don't happen) as the majority of Clubs don't have working floodlights, it'll soon be coming out of its Winter hibernation as the days get longer. With all the rain we've had you'll probably get a game most nights as the glut of waterlogged games are cleared, I've met many a hopper up these parts in June suffering withdrawal symptoms from a lack of football down South.
Is there anywhere in the Country selling ' Groundhopper' scarfs, T shirts and general odds and sods? I was thinking of knocking up a scarf for us neutral 'Hoppers', but not sure if there would be the demand or whether they may already be an outlet supplying them. You can usually spot a football traveller by the rucksack & plastic bag but what about a scarf that would be an instantly recognisable emblem of the 'die hard hopper'?

According to their website, Tipton Town have postponed tonight's home game with Oldbury United due to the tragic death of one of their supporters.

To answer John Mollitt yes you should have several games to choose from in
period 19-24 May in Scotland. The juniors will go on until, probably, the
second week in June. The rainy weather has seen a number of postponements
and the midweek programme will start in mid April probably with teams
playing Mon and Wed to catch up. As 24/5 is Scottish Cup final day some junior games that day will have
early kick offs.
Tues 18 March - Central Scottish Amateur League, Colville Park v Leith
Athletic, to be played at Hamilton Accies FC, 8pm.
Tues 25 March - u18 schoolboy international, Scotland v N Ireland, at
Hamilton Accies FC, 1pm

A quick note to give an update into the latest ground news in Bundesliga 2. I attended Hoffenheim v Freiburg on 22/02/08, and the latest news in respect of their new stadium is that it should be completed after the Winter break in 2009. Give yourself plenty of time to get to the old ground, it is situated in a very small village and is not the easiest place to find from Sinsheim which is the bigger town nearby. The country roads can get quite congested as they were not really designed to cater for the volume of traffic.
It may also be desirable to try to arrange a ticket prior to attending, but I cant offer any advice as to how to go about this. Most of the games are sold out for home supporters, and I only got in as Freiburg did not sell all of their allocation.
Augsburg have now commenced work on their new stadium, but this is very much in its early stages, and I would presume they will still be playing at their old stadium until the end of 2008/09.
Paderborn finally look to be moving into their new stadium before the end of this season, and expect to play only 3 or 4 more games in the old stadium prior to moving.
In Switzerland St Gallen will move out of what I consider to be one of the finest named in the world, The Espenmoos, at the end of this season.

I am thinking of taking a short break in the Glasgow? Edinburgh? Ayrshire? Borders? area from 19 May to 24 May. Are there likely to be many/any non league fixtures still being played at that time of the year?

Have only been able to take in one game during my present 1 week sojourn in Japan, Shonan Bellmare v Vegalta Sendai, which resulted in a 1-0 victory for Shonan. There were about 4000 visiting supporters from Sendai in the 10,000 crowd but sadly the game wasn't as exciting as the atmosphere. I wouldn't rate the J2 any higher than the NSW State League so a few ex-A League players should feel at home here in the J2 despite the rather inflated hefty pay-checks!
Today is the day I've been looking forward to. Grilled eel on a bed of rice and seaweed for lunch! Doesn't get any better than that I can tell you!

On 22 Feb, I attended a game at Den Haag (1-1 v Omniworld, attendance less
than 4,000) through a contact and with free car parking. There is a strict
Den Haag season ticket and clubcard system for HOME fans only, although
clubcard holders can buy match tickets on the day. Other clubcards are NOT
accepted ! AWAY fans are "bubbled-in" - ie: as for Cardiff v Wolves FA
Cup tie on 16 Feb, away fans can only attend IF they have travelled on the
away supporters official transport, they have NO other access to the game.

| 6/3/08 14:03 Eric Thompson -
I notice that the Dutch have introduced a member's card again - this time in the first division. I have just applied for it myself, but has anybody had any experience of this? Does anybody know an inexpensive way of getting into Den Haag's new ground, without buying one of their club cards (which requires two weeks to produce)

I went to Cracovia v Lech Poznan match on 07.05.06 kick off at 15:00. Attendance was listed at 4,000 & there was no crowd trouble. I was next to the main! stand. Opposite this were the fanatics who jump up & down during the match, if anything like the match I saw at Wisla Krakow they do this on the seats & expect you to join in. Behind one goal was nothing as they appeared to be about to build a new stand. Behind the other goal were the away fans. They appeared to arrive & depart on special buses, with the police surrounding them outside the ground presumably to get them back to the station. The half a dozen matches I have done in Poland I've not seen any crowd trouble although you feel as though something might happen. This included Legia Warsaw v Wisla in 2005. Hope this helps.

Picking up on George and Maureen Osborne’s post about going to Cracovia vs. Gornik Zabrze.
Haven’t actually been to a game in Krakow, but a group of us were in Warsaw a couple of years ago, and went to the Polonia/Legia derby, and there were all sorts of crowd problems, which were decidedly unpleasant. I think that very weekend the Cracovia game was actually played behind closed doors!
Since this isn’t a derby, then it’ll probably be O.K, but I’d check (you may have already done so) and see if there’s any history of problems with this fixture, and I’d keep an eye on the games leading up to it.
Our contact at Polonia suggested lower league alternatives if we ever went to Krakow. These were Kmita Zabierzów (2nd league) and Hutnik (3rd league) – the former are at home the weekend you mention, the latter have no game.
Hope that helps!
