Anyone been to see Alicone Milan

Both beautiful and utterly shite.

Miles away from the pitch with a basically horizontal view.

Can't deny it has charm though.

Rangers played AC Milan at that ground in the European Cup in 57/58. San Siro was fog inundated or something.

We are somewhat spoiled in that Ibrox is such an iconic traditional stadium, but is also so practical.

Must admit, I do like a quirky or unique stadium though. Braga's certainly fits the bill.

That's fantastic. But equally, as above, probably a bit shit to watch a game in.

Every original/unique stadium should be preserved and celebrated, lest the generic boot of UEFA/FIFA stamps them out to be replaced with a generic four sided box designed by one of their 'preferred suppliers' to a rigid specification.

Like Hampden. I'm not a fan of it.

Although that stadium looks superb.

Hampden looks like a stadium in Aleppo compared to that.

They could lower the pitch and put in more seats if it wasn't for the water table.

Went to the world cup in Italy. I thought Stadio Luigi Ferraris in Genoa was very much like Ibrox.

Lovely sporting arena, utterly useless as a football ground. Would be shite for the fans.

Beautiful history though, I’ve obviously never been but it’s great that it’s still in reasonable condition and still used to hold sporting events. Theses old stadiums need to be preserved, especially one like this.

I love learning things like this, great post.

Inter used to play there as their home ground, before moving to San Siro after WW2.

Thanks for this. I remember when I was a wee boy watching the first leg from Ibrox which was broadcast live on tv - which in1957 was a very rare event. It was played on a very foggy and freezing November night and you can imagine what it was like watching it on an old black & white telly.

Great memories. Bet everyone was still glued to the telly though despite the picture quality.

Have actually been in that park had no clue there was a stadium there with that football history
