A group of us from England ( and one from Germany) arrived in Romania, in the north east of the country in Bucovina. this ground hop had the great name of 'Football in Heaven' and at the end of the trip all of us would agree with the title - from the breath taking scenery to the generosity of all the locals we met.
Our first game was south of Suceava, where we had an early Friday evening kick off from the Romanian third division game, the highest level game we would see but certainly was not one of the best we saw.
The away team ran out easy winners but the stadium is what most of us will remember, they seemed to have started building the main stand but stopped just after the first bits of concrete were put in place. However this did not stop it being used as a stand, seats bolted on the bare concrete and there you go, a sort of finished stadium.
But it may only have looked half finished but it still looked far more complete than the pitch next door, with overgrown terracing and a home made stand!
the trip had started and this first game had just wetted our appetites.
