Gdansk sees plenty of football tourists, but it’s to Lechia the majority will go. You should as well, but not before a visit to Stocznowiec. Simply one of the most extraordinary grounds I’ve seen, this lost world of football…
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…
