York City confirmed as a new one for the 92, just waiting to see if Boreham Wood needs ticking off as well next season.

How many leagues below us were they at one point? I only ask so I can shock friends down the pub when they're a league above us next year.

Come to think of it, we've never been the same since Leicester cathedral was closed for work in January 2022, the same year York started their rise back up the leagues. Somebody obviously disturbed the tomb during renovations...

I believe they were same level as Harborough Town (from next season) when we were playing Atletico in the CL.

Having seen djurgarden in stockholm last year and malmo earlier this year, me and my daughter have really caught the sweden bug.  Great country and great atmospheres at games.

We are planning to do the last of the 3 big cities and see ifk göteborg next.

Anyone been?  What's the liveliest fixture to attend ?  @CosbehFox i see you are well travelled.  Any thoughts?

Goteborg’s main city rivalry is against GAIS but games v Malmo and v AIK are also red hot

We went to watch Örgryte at the olympic Gamla Ullevi. Hardly anyone there in such a big stadium but was decent nonetheless

As @Sir Steve Howard says Gothenburg’ has a silly amount of teams for a city its size. So you’ll like get at least a second game in the city. Hacken is a bit out of the city but within Gothenburg

I did consider hacken previously actually.  Its been relatively easy to get tickets for the other two games ive seen so hopefully will be for a 3rd and maybe even fourth.  Thanks for the input both

Trying to see if I can justify a trip up to Scotland in July for the Scottish League Cup fixtures. Went Aberdeen for work yesterday and called into Pittordie. Marvellous old fashioned. Literally ground - golf course - beach. 

 

If anyone is particularly aching for live, competitive footy this summer, the Under 19 European Championships are taking place in North Wales this summer. Wales games are all at the Racecourse, Wrexham (steelwork finally going up on the new stand there). However, you have Denbigh, Bangor, Caernarfon as other venues. You have Croatia v Serbia at Caernarfon!

Planning a trip to Scotland.

Got the week off after the World Cup so will have a couple of days in Stranraer (jealous eh!)

for their game with Edinburgh City on the Tuesday followed by Queen of the South v Aberdeen on the Wednesday.

Depending on the conference league draw there's a possibility of either Hibs or Motherwell having a home tie on the Thursday.

QoS has a brilliant terrace while Dumfries is quite a reasonable place to visit. I saw them in the League Cup a few years back.
