Is this the craziest football ground on earth? 🤯 Meet the Great Strahov Stadium in Prague—technically the largest football stadium in the world with a mind-blowing capacity of 250,000! 🏟️

​It features 8 full-sized pitches end-to-end, has stood for 100 years, and is even held up by wooden beams in parts. From dark history to hosting massive rock concerts like AC/DC and U2, this place is unreal.

A truly must see for any football fan visiting Prague

Flew back this morning from Copenhagen and managed to get home, get a quick nap in and get over the BET365 for England U21s Vs Slovakia U21s, my 41st match of the season.

Unfortunately this one ended my run of 0 0-0s in 26/27.

A real stale game where England struggled to cope with Slovakia's 10 men behind the goal approach who very strong and rigid in their 5-3-2 shape. No space through the middle, no luck out wide. A couple of half chance headers in the first half from Will Lankshear but not much to write about. A poor game. Onto the big cup game at Stafford Rangers tomorrow.

Parking the bus has a whole new meaning at Hanwell Town FC! 🚌⚽🏟️

Ever watched a non-league football match from the top deck of a double-decker bus while tucking into pie and mash? We headed down to the Oliver Connell & Son Community Stadium for an incredible FA Trophy clash between Hanwell Town and Enfield Town!

From panoramic pitchside views on the bus top deck and great matchday grub to classic non-league vibes and dogs roaming the touchline, this is groundhopping at its absolute best.

Would you watch a game from a double-decker bus? Let me know in the comments below, and make sure to share this with your football-loving mates! 👇⚽

Apparently there's no football for 3 weeks?

Here's my games over the next 9 days!

4/7 more than likely featuring a Bellingham!

The football ground where you can slam dunk like LeBron... but drums are strictly banned! 🏀🚫🥁

I headed down to Darlaston Town FC for their Pitching In Midland League Premier Division match against Abbey Hulton. For £9 entry, you get proper non-league football charm, four cantilever stands, zero dogs in sight, and a random basketball hoop right inside the ground!
Darlaston are fighting to turn things around this season following last year's relegation, and this clash didn't disappoint.

Is it just me that doesn't want this?

I think drinking on the terraces is currently a USP that helps convert the professional fan into a fan of non-league.

I also don't want to be standing up every 5 minutes when on a groundhop for someone to go and grab a b**r.

What's your thoughts?

Andy Burnham has told reporters that he is set to scrap the law that bans football fans from drinking in the stands.

7th tier football in a massive 12,000-capacity stadium?! 🏟️

Spent Friday night under the floodlights at Sixways Stadium as Worcester City took on Stratford Town in the FA Cup. From a great atmosphere and proper non-league action to ticking off ground #266 on the road to 300, it was an unbelievable evening.

Have you ever visited Sixways or caught a game here? Drop your recommendations in the comments and let me know where you're heading this weekend! 👇⚽️
