Title: Holiday snaps Post by: larwood on Monday, March 31, 2008, 15:34:22 Thought i'd share my Sampdoria pictures with you lot.Genoa is an ok place,bit rough but then it is a port city so to be expected.
As for the ground,the Luigi Ferraris,it was easy to get to and reasonable easy to get tickets,just needed our passports.16 euros for a seat in the curva 8) Lots of female fans milling about as well,was quite a surprise for me,but a welcome one :D Outisde before the game, http://i129.photobucket.com/albums/p212/Larwood_Head/jamieinbed091.jpg http://i129.photobucket.com/albums/p212/Larwood_Head/samp.jpg A Samp stairwell 8) http://i129.photobucket.com/albums/p212/Larwood_Head/jamieinbed024.jpg Before kickoff.We were in the end facing the curva where the Samp ultras stand. http://i129.photobucket.com/albums/p212/Larwood_Head/jamieinbed095.jpg The seats aren't actually used to sit on :) http://i129.photobucket.com/albums/p212/Larwood_Head/jamieinbed098.jpg Samp were playing Catania,the away suport was very good considering the distance they would have come from the south of Italy.Samp had just scored. http://i129.photobucket.com/albums/p212/Larwood_Head/jamieinbed107.jpg Hard to tell but its me!! http://i129.photobucket.com/albums/p212/Larwood_Head/jamieinbed110.jpg The final whistle. http://i129.photobucket.com/albums/p212/Larwood_Head/jamieinbed108.jpg Samp won 3-1.Was a good ground,unlike the Stadio olimpico with its annoying running track and huge size,its a proper football ground.Paid a visit to the San siro and Venezia's ground,the Pierlugi penzo,which is like the Withdean,but worse :o Won't post any pictures though,tad dull :wink: Title: Holiday snaps Post by: Reg Smeeton on Monday, March 31, 2008, 15:57:31 Quality....

(Samp's flags are amazing, loved it in the Playoffs when we had those big flags up in front of the TE - what happened to them?) Title: Holiday snaps Post by: BANGKOK RED on Monday, March 31, 2008, 19:56:46 Iv'e been to Barcelona's Noo Camp (Sp?).
Quite an impressive ground but there was no match being played at the time. It was easy to tell just what an atmposphere the Noo Camp could generate as its stands where close too the pitch and very, very high. Very envious of you, must have been some day out.

Title: Holiday snaps Post by: leefer on Monday, March 31, 2008, 20:23:24 Really silly question Larwood as ive never been to grounds like that,are they like ours regarding drinking,or do diferent grounds and regions have different rules on booze,,,just wondering with the probs theyve had at some matches lately....

On a slight tangent...apparantly Roma have fitted extra secure seats in the away end for the ManUre game, but not in the home end. Ok, I think all United fans are losers BUT surely they deserve a bit of protection themselves after what happened last time?! Back to the point...ace pics Larwood! I would love to go see a game in Italy sometime Title: Holiday snaps Post by: herthab on Monday, March 31, 2008, 20:32:40 Quote from: "leefer" Really silly question Larwood as ive never been to grounds like that,are they like ours regarding drinking,or do diferent grounds and regions have different rules on booze,,,just wondering with the probs theyve had at some matches lately.... At German grounds a bloke comes round and supplies lager from a 'back back' type thing :mrgreen: Title: Holiday snaps Post by: Gelbfüßler on Monday, March 31, 2008, 21:44:17 Unfortunately the rules have changed in the Bundesliga recently, Hertha :(
You can still drink in the stands in the 2. Liga though, but the smoking ban in Germany among other things means it's starting to fall foul of the sterilisation we have in England. When I used to watch KSC (2. Liga at the time) I always came away pissing wet in beer where everyone would throw their beers up in the air when they scored/throw their beers at the pitch when they conceded. |
