Lads I know look at me funny for this one but between rigging PAs and chasing flat whites I've clocked a fair few stadiums and pitches around this town. These are the ones that get me, in no particular order except whatever order my knees can still manage the terrace steps. Half sport, half pilgrimage, all bad knees after.
