Just A Glimpse

I caught a glimpse of the Estadio Algarve while lucky enough to be in Portugal last week, not realising that on the first night I was there a friendly was taking place between Sporting Lisbon and Real Sociedad.

If you're on holiday in the area next month then Portugal play their Euro 2024 qualifier against Luxembourg on the 11th and tickets to see Cristiano Ronaldo and colleagues are good value at €10-20.

The Darlington Arena is another stadium I've seen from a window on my travels and, perhaps fittingly for a ground with a slightly bizarre history, this coming Friday evening (11th August) at 7.30pm the 25-000 seat venue will host Step 7 action as newly-formed Darlington United host Fishburn Park in the North Riding League.

Admission is free to the game.
