By the looks of things, Venezia will be in Lega Pro Seconda Divisione Girone A this year, just FYI!

Ah, "A Season With Verona". Think I've read it three times, awesome book.

Couldn't find anything, but worth keeping an eye on this http://www.lega-pro.com/sito/index.php

Venezia, Venice. As you can imagine, it's sh1t... and dangerous...

Wouldn't mind going to this health and safety hazard whilst in Venice...

Just reading through this remarkable thread which has kind of inspired me to post this. Has anyone out there been to a strange football ground, anywhere in the world? My own strangest football ground experience had to be Luton away 05/06 - entering the ground via a row of terraced houses and upon climbing the antiquated metal stairwell, looking left and right and being able to peak into other peoples back gardens (IIRC). Likewise Bradford was another strange one, as was Southend - though they were more dated as opposed to strange. The most notable "strange" ground I can recall in popular culture is in Braga, Portugal where it's cut into the hillside. I think The9 has been there, maybe he can confirm. That said, there are plenty more strange stadiums around the world so if you're not busy, take a look at that thread above and see if there are any stadiums there you've been to... and I'd love to hear your experience! I'm pretty sure we had our own strange stadium not too long ago...;

Thailand. Chiang Mai.

are you back often? It's gone backwards since I was a young 'un on a night out. Loads of fawning buffoons, knuckledraggers and gob****es to keep even the most hardiest of men entertained!

Not bollo..cks, 3rd highest for violent crime in the UK recently and I think our exam results were pretty poor, too...

Intellectually, it is one of the thickest in the UK. Allegedly. Additionally, it's also one of the most violent. Gah, it's still home though.

The cyber lynching continues... well done, Neil Allen and co.

Young Villa centre-half/midfielder. Very useful.
