Legia stadium, Saturday night - in her role as an ambassador for the Marki Fire Department, my favorite devil and her friends helped drum up a record busting take for the absolute legends that work at OSP Marki! Over 2,200k raised in just two hours.

So grateful to @warszawskifestiwalpiwa for the support and to enable the message reaching further <3

Final post from last week's jaunt to Torun, and I've got to say - this stand don't half look good from the right angle. Definitely better than the standard slab of plastic found at most modern venues 😍

Just going through a Krakow folder that I seem to have forgotten about, and came across these pics of the away pen at Pradniczanka Krakow - holding 60 seats, it's best described as snug.

I can't remember who the opposition were, but I do remember the only person to enter the away section that afternoon was yours truly.

The ghost of Wloclavia past 👻 On this day, two years ago, I visited Wloclawek for their match against Elana - with pubs yet to open, I did the next best thing and found an old stadium to break into 😍

A beautiful place is the former home of Wloclavia Wloclawek, and I say that in spite of nearly vanishing forever down an open manhole.

While I've no idea of this ground's current status, I'm sure I remember reading it's been purchased by a local entrepreneur who was planning on turning the place into a car park - please may I be mistaken 😢

Good away numbers at Elana at the weekend, with a handy set of just under 300 making their way to Torun - along with Gryf were contingents from Lechia Gdansk, Chojniczanka Chojnice, Starogard and GKM Grudziadz.

Spoke to a GKM lad before the match, and he somehow managed to convince himself that I was American - now I've been called a hell of a lot things in my life, but that sure was a first 😂

Not the classic I was after yesterday, but then I guess that's a sign of the times - still, a very solid day trip and an enjoyable afternoon regardless.

Need to edit the rest of my pictures over the next couple of days, but in the meantime have a starter pack involving Elana's second half show 🔥

Sneaky Welcome to Torun pint, if this games a dud, I swear I ain’t coming back to this city ever again!!!

Like everyone else in Poland, I've been struck by

Like everyone else in Poland, I've been struck by some bastard monkey cold, but there ain't no way in the world that I'm missing Elana Torun today - on paper, it looks a delicious fixture🔥

Just ironing my pants before I head to the train station, but in a twist of fate Google Photos has reminded me that, on this very day, back in 2019, I saw Elana play for the first time.

They were visiting GKS Katowice, and while the match passed in a strangely subdued atmosphere, about ten minutes after the final whistle the verbals began to fly between the two sides, leading to determined efforts at confrontation.

I'd like to think this is an omen for this afternoon's match, but in all truth I've had such poor luck at Elana that I'm just going to be grateful if away fans enter without an issue 😐

Phwoar - they don't make 'em like this anymore. Google has kindly reminded me that on this day, three years back, I was giving this magical stand at Sokol Pniewy a very thorough examination.

What a beauty this is - built, apparently, when the club were in the top flight in the early 90s. Given their current crowds of 100 or so, it's hard to believe this ground used to fill to the seams.

From memory, it all went wrong when the club was bought by GKS Tychy who then decided to boot Sokol from the top flight and use their license for themselves. Since then Sokol have been left picking up the pieces in the basement district leagues.

Ha, just been reminded by google that, five years ago precisely, I was at Lech Poznan for this memorable Lecter-inspired show 😈

As a devoted Silence of the Lambs fanatic, it's fair to say I had a very giddy moment of excitement when I saw this flag drop unfurled 😍🔥

I can't say this weekend's fixtures have inspired me, so have volunteered to work this Saturday instead - still, looking forward to next week, and reckon my plan is set in stone: Elana Torun v Gryf Slupsk next Sat.

I've visited Elana several times, but have tended to have rotten luck whenever I've been - despite promising much, most of the games have tended to disappoint so I'm hoping my fortune changes as I'm definitely due a banger there. Anyhow, here's some assorted snaps from my six or so previous visits.

I had hoped to be posting pics today of Unia Skieniewice's match last night against Motor Lublin - but after stepping out of the office into a miserable downpour I decided to head to the nearest pub rather than the train station 🍺

So instead, have a few pics of the main stand at Olimpia Grudziadz, a side I visited precisely three years ago.

On this day: so, two years ago I was waking with a monstrous hangover following a mental match in Olawa that got called off after 30 minutes after both sets of fans went completely nuts.

My visit to Rokita Brzeg Dolny provided the tonic I needed - a beauiful ground and a chilled out audience more concerned with eating sunflower seeds as opposed to ripping out seats and whacking their rivals.

Was out and about in Warsaw's Praga district a few nights ago and bumped into this fella - the one and only Kazimierz Deyna 🤩

Despite depicting the golden boy of Poland's golden era of football, I'm told the monument very nearly ended up in a rubbish skip a few years ago and was only rescued at the last minute by a pub owner who then kept it in his garden for the next couple of years. Now back on public display, find King Kazik on Wilenska street.

Happy birthday 🎉🍰 On this day, 96-years ago, Polonia Warsaw's Konwiktorska ground was opened to the public 👏

With both Odra Opole and GKS Katowice set to relocate in the new year, this looks likely to be the only traditional, old school ground to survive in the top two tiers of Polish football 😢

While I realize many Polonia fans hanker for a redeveloped stadium, I absolutely love the sense of history this place evokes - I for one would be happy for them to keep it as it is.
