On the third day of Christmas….The best new ground visited
Dec. 28 | “On the Third Day of Christmas my true love gave to me….a trio of new grounds to see” This was a toughie. We saw games in forty new grounds in 2011 and so to pick three was very difficult because all had endeering factors. Whyteleafe’s...
On the first day of Christmas….The best atmosphere
Dec. 26 | Welcome to our annual “awards” – celebrating all that is good about the game from our tours around the world. By 31st December we will have seen 115 games in 2011, which as CMF reminds me is one almost every three days. She would...
Not a NIMBY tonight
Jul. 21 | Few of us live on the doorstep of our favourite team. We all have to get in the car, jump on the train or hop on a bus to get to a game these days. When I travel abroad to watch football these days I will always try to find a hotel close to the ground,...
The day the sausages ran out
Jun. 3 | So after nearly 11 months my Danish season draws to a close with an afternoon we all love – a double header. With so many teams playing in Copenhagen these days there is always a game on somewhere, especially on National Holidays such as today....

May. 26 | If I had to be cast away on a desert island and could only take a few items I am quite clear what number one on my list would be…OK, number two then behind Eliza Dushku. MARMITE. As the saying goes, you either love it or hate it. I have been...
Is it too late for the English game?
May. 19 | Last week I was privilaged to be in the Brøndby Stadion for the derby game versus FC Copenhagen. Whilst a couple of other regional sides may argue, this is the biggest game in Denmark. For any first time visitor to a game abroad they would not believe...
Søndag prædiken
May. 9 | With the 2010/11 season coming towards an end in England, attentions turn once again to the Nordics for my regular fix of football. Denmark still has a few rounds of matches left although in the Superliga there is only pride to play for after FCK wrapped...
One man and his dog Henrik
Apr. 6 | Who wants to watch Champions League football anyway? Dull, negative football being played in sanitised corporate heavy stadiums. Wouldn’t you rather get back to your roots and watch a game untainted by commercialism? So here is your choice for...
A home away from home
Feb. 10 | Over a year ago rumours started that England would be playing Argentina in a friendly in February 2011. Nothing too unusual about that, apart from the venue. It seemed that for some strange reason the game would be played at Parken in Denmark. Some...
