Phil Masinga ex-Leeds, played for Bari in the south of Italy.
I thought we'd had Bari before. Maybe I'm getting mixed up.

He also played for Salernitana which is also in Southern Italy so I think one of us might have got this

Yes WR we have already had Bari (a stadium that looks a bit like a spaceship) and yes PM did play there, but it’s not Bari

Lovely part of Italy is Salerno, just down the coast from Amalfi.
Think they have just got promotion to Serie A.

Particularly (IMO) ugly looking monolith of a ground from the outside, at least.

Can say with confidence I've not been to this one, don't recognise it at all.
Initial thoughts going be the trees and how clean & tidy the area looks is somewhere in Scandinavia?

A 2nd thought is North America but have been to quite a few of the bigger city stadiums but still plenty to go at.

Been to FC Copenhagens ground and am sure that is not it, not sure how many other stadiums in Denmark would be that size (estimating 40k+).

Was edging towards Sweden, Holland or Germany.

👍 Adam - the equally very German sounding Fritz-Walter Stadion, home of 1. FC Kaiserslautern 🇩🇪

I think it’s one of the ugliest grounds (externally) put up to date, but if you’re a 1.FCK fan you probably love it :duno:

Feel I should know it as it looks British, their is a cricket field in top left corner.

How many countries play cricket and have older stadiums without much parking ?
