Epic Away Ends South Poland

Orzel Przeworsk

In a recent April Fool’s Joke, the club announced the looming demolition of their legendary away end. Tanks to those dickheads – I nearly swallowed my tongue due to shock – there are some things that just should never…

Epic Away Ends South Poland

Kmita Zabierzow

In my eyes, a good ground demands a special away end – and Kmita have just that. Slotted diagonally in the corner of the ground, this temporary-looking structure is made all the more special for the way in which…

Central Poland Stadiums Unknown Gems

HURAGAN POBIEDZISKA

Representing the idyllic side of Polish football, Huragan’s ground is a pleasure to visit: sat right next to a placid lake, its charms are copious and abundant – fringed on another side by woodland, it’s a relaxing alternative to…

East Poland Unknown Gems

Czuwaj Przemysl

Aimed at the truest of football connoisseurs, Czuwaj is not merely the most picturesque ground in Poland, but also one of the best you’ll find anywhere in Europe – centred around an outsized timber chalet, this place has you…

Epic Away Ends North Poland

Stocznowiec Gdansk

Who doesn’t love an old-fashioned away pen scattered with debris and broken steps? Given the level that this lot play at, I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s been more than a decade since away fans last turned up, but…

Central Poland Epic Away Ends

Proch Pionki

Not content with a Neo Baroque thing going on outside, there is little that is normal about Proch Pionki’s ground – and damn right, the away end doesn’t disappoint. Looking like a cross between a Burger King abattoir and…

Unknown Gems West Poland

Moto Jelcz Olawa

Deceptively normal at first glance, Olawa’s ground is actually bat shit crazy: of its non-standard design elements, look out for a crane booth, a bus stop that possibly doubles as some kind of executive cabin, and a flimsy two-tiered…
