Grom Warszawa v Kartofliska

Date: 22 August 2018 / League: Polish regional cup, 2nd round Final Score: 7-0 / Attendance: approx. 400? Preamble I’ve written about Kartofliska previously, but to remind you, they’re essentially the creation of a lower league blog that places…

Central Poland Epic Away Ends

Targowek 1953

This tiny away pen encapsulates the lower leagues with its tangled, overgrown entrance, half-broken seats and flimsy fencing. From what I understand, this ground is in danger of being modernized, so it stands to reason that this cage will…

Targowek 1953

Disclaimer: after enjoying a brief homecoming in 2021, it appears that Targowek are again living the life of a gypsy club, playing their home games anywhere but home – that’s possibly due to redevelopment issues. If that’s the case,…

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…

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…

Proch Pionki

Aside from an away end that has been previously compared (by me!) to a cross between a Burger King abattoir and an outdoor punishment facility, Proch Pionki’s stadium is a brilliantly imbalanced collection of weirdness: a Neo Baroque façade,…

Kosa Konstancin

For some, Kosa Konstancin’s ground might bring to mind a surreal and miniaturized marriage between Southampton’s Dell and Brentford’s Griffin Park – think lots of red and white colours, wonky angles and chocolate box stands. A joy for all…

Passovia Pass

The Jekyll & Hyde nature of Polish football is masterfully illustrated at Passovia (or, actually, Blonie, to give this ground’s true owner credit) – on the one hand, you have a smart, modern grandstand that would easily pass muster…
