Phnom Penh Olympic Stadium
I imagine that the zenith for many of the urbexing bloggers and Instagramers is to “conquer” a sports stadium. Extraordinary structures punctuating city-scapes constructed for such specific purposes that, in theory, are built not to facilitate commerce or generate wealth, but for entertainment and achievement, wrapped in impenetrable layers of security to keep you out. I can see the appeal of sneaking in and Continue reading
New Signing Bingo
At the best of times, Footballers give pretty monotonous interviews. But there is nothing duller or more repetitive than the obligatory new-player-signing-interview conducted by the club and splashed about across social media to keep the fans engaged.
Don’t believe us? Then grab a pen, print our New-Signing-Bingo-Scorecard out, press Continue reading

Enjoy your week.

The National Stadium a.k.a. “The Bird’s Nest” glowed orange as we approached, but the lights suddenly went out. We however much preferred the sight of cold steel weaving in and out, both Continue reading
Gentrification & the BSC; Promise for Die Alte Dame
In his article “Why Hertha BSC Berlin is not a German Powerhouse (and Probably Never Will Be)“, published in Bundesliga Fanatic, Max Regenhuber openly discusses the reasons why Berlin’s #1 has underachieved compared to clubs of other major German metropolises.
The historical account is spot on; Hertha have had a turbulent past, frequently Continue reading
A Gift from Cliftonville
A small gift given to me by Between Distances after his return from the Emerald Isle. I had to celebrate it on here!
Cliftonville F.C., founded in 1879, is Eire’s oldest Football Club and also the club with the oldest serving ground, “Solitude”. In Ulster, they are one of the very few professional clubs with a strong Republican following, making Belfast Derbies hot and Continue reading
