For all Football Fans ....

I understand Wembley is almost ready!

I would like to share with you our beautiful stadium, Est�¡dio do Algarve near Faro, which was opened on time for Euro 2004, along with the high-speed train (225km per hour) from Lisbon to Algarve, ready for the matches.





It's nice living in a "third world" country!

 

as we are at it, I would like you to show you the "Stadio delle Alpi" in Turin, which opened in 1990.
The name means "Stadium of the Alps" = the Alps are a chain of high mountains located all along the north border of Italy...

 

Miraflores, that is absolutely stunning ... the location makes our pale into insignificance!

But both are beautiful and enjoyed not only by footfall fan but music fans also!

 

Nothing compared to the Stadium of Light in Sunderland I'm afraid. The location is perfect, right next to the pub and a few chip shops. I love it and I'm not biased in any way.

 

Good to know, kasabian. One certainly wouldn't find a nice fish and chips anywhere near the stadium in Turin, I give you that one!
I would actually love to have the possibility to buy fish and chips in Turin: I am sure there would be plenty of people to buy them, if only somebody would set up the activity...

 

Neither can you get them near our Statium although they are available in the tourist resorts but I've not tried them.

 

... and I bet all your stadiums were on time and within original budget!!!!

I STILL can't understand how on earth the final cost was �£800M !!!!!!!!!!! More than double the original budget of �£325.5M......and HOW many year late?????
