No longer in use, but not much beat old CarisBOG/Tony Brown's.

Similar to Glenferrie in that drivers would slow down to catch a glimpse of the Footy. Also the Uni terracing or Zoo as it is now is in full view. The old man burnt a few couches and assorted house hold items there in the 70's and was pretty cool to watch a few matches with him there later on.

Below are the Uni gates, first part of the stadium built and meant to mirror those of Edinburgh's premier teams stadia. Legend has it Students would apply for these positions of ticktees and would let essentially everyone in for free and the only way the RFU would make any money was from Pubs in and around the ground which they intelligently had full ownership of.

EDIT - Just realised how much of a Victoria Park feel the last snap has.

"Scornicesti was the home town of communist dictator, Nicolae Ceausescu. He wanted to make a "model-town" out of Scornicesti, which was actually more like a village, with a population of aprox. 10.000. So he built new flats, tearing down the old houses along the main road, and he also built a large stadium(for a small town), with a seating capacity of 30.000. It was one of the most modern stadiums in the country, at that time. He also created a team, recruiting some of the best Romanian players of that moment, some of them having to play there, against their own will. Of course, after the fall of his regime, in '89, the team was dissolved, and the stadium abandoned. The main stand is home now for a few homeless people."

"I was at the last game of Ciudad Murcia in La Condomina June 2007 against Las Palmas.
Real Murcia allready played in La nueva/new Condomina by then.
The owner of Ciudad Murcia (founded in 1999... and allready in segunda A) sold his license to Granada 74 and bought Cadiz back. Leaving this stadium with all of it´s history behind. Actualy it died allready when it´s real owner Real Murcia moved to there new stadium."

fuark, want some people to find more abandoned former communist stadiums. Fucking love them

 

OK! Here's one for you! This is a soviet water stadium. When people were not using it a public swimming pool, they could catch some competitive wind surfing which was apparently pretty exotic at the time. I have not been able to find much info on it so I dont know what year it was built or abandoned, but pretty cool none the less!

 

THEN
