Bucket List tour

Spotted on Twitter last week and Pocketed, and now he’s written it up in a handy blog post. Excellent, and well worth my procrastination in sharing it.

(FO because it tried to render the Faroese flag and failed)

But yes, it does exactly what it says in the title. Our man flies to Torshavn, hires a van, and spends a couple of days visiting local football stadiums. The experience is magical and the views are incredible.

There’s a lovely little passage about each of the grounds he visited, and some great photos.

The crazy thing is, you can literally just rock up to any ground and go have a kick about… Imagine doing that at Hampden or Wembley!

That does sound like fun. Unfortunately, it seems unlikely that I’m going to get to the Faroes any time soon, so I’m living vicariously through Andy’s blog right now.

But that’s not to say that we don’t have some amazing pitches of our own. Anyone who has ever had the pleasure of playing at Camps Bay High will know that this image from the school’s website:

…really doesn’t do it justice.

It’s got mountains; it’s got sea. Less snow, though. In case that’s what you were after.
