Eco Posted November 19, 2012 Report Share Posted November 19, 2012 Watching Sportscene (SPL highlights prog) Inverness Caley Thistle looks amazing with the Moray Firth in the background, especially when the tide's in. Are there any other picturesque grounds in league or non league, or any in a similar setting ? I'm including AG with the beautiful Suspension Bridge/Avon Gorge in the near vicinity.

The Red Planet Posted November 19, 2012 Report Share Posted November 19, 2012 We should ask this question to the chap from Manchester who completed watching games at all 92 league grounds at AG last Saturday. Heard him on RB before the game. He said he would be in the programme (not, I think) and he would be interviewed on the touchline - did I miss that ?

Admin phantom Posted November 20, 2012 Admin Report Share Posted November 20, 2012 Have a nice view of planes landing into Bristol airport every Saturday afternoon. Wycombe had a nice surrounding area, but always seemed to be flooded when we went there. Apparently the Minimal Ground has nice views of empty seats and vast open spaces around the terracing . . .

MC RISK77 Posted November 20, 2012 Report Share Posted November 20, 2012 Gayfield Park in Arbroath is 5 metres from the high tide of the North Sea and is the closest ground in europe to the sea. You can see it if you get the train from Edinburgh to Aberdeen (which just so happens to be the most beautiful train journey i have been on).....Looks pretty spectacular to see a football stadium right on a beach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeygoblin Posted November 20, 2012 Report Share Posted November 20, 2012 Went to Bluetongue area, home of Central Coast Mariners (Aussie A-League) a few years ago. Palm trees behind one goal, backed by the ocean. Doesnt get much saucier than that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeygoblin Posted November 20, 2012 Report Share Posted November 20, 2012 Also Sollentuna United, in Sweden's third tier. Stunning views of the river with a hilly backdrop helped an afternoon of cider in the sun, whilst paint continued to dry on the field of play.

UREDS_91 Posted November 20, 2012 Report Share Posted November 20, 2012 The Faroe Islands are an island group situated between the Norwegian Sea and the North Atlantic Ocean, approximately halfway between Scotland and Iceland. Their national football team is playing with European national teams on pitch located next to the sea. There’s also a guy in a boat that collects the balls that fall into the sea during a match.
