Looking at their last top flight season, they played most of their games at the adorable little 7,900 all-seater. Only a few had to be staged elsewhere.

Surely they can find a way to get some temp seats installed. Be a shame to rob football of that setting.
Venezia went up their own arses a bit with their kits, give me Cremonese's odd red and grey mix any day.
I dunno if they've got much space to work with. Even if they do, the thing they sacrifice is parking.Originally Posted by Ben
I saw a lad jogging past me in a Venezia shirt a few weeks ago. They’re definitely in the hipster zone.
Greenland have applied for CONCACAF membership, despite only being able to play football outside for half the year.
They’re also playing Turkmenistan today, which is the first time they’ve played a senior national team since 2013 (lost 1-0 to Bermuda), so I’m sure they’ll show some highlights of that one after the CL final later.
Just a casual 5-0 loss. Unsurprisingly it’s a bit tricky to get details of the match but it seems like they got to half-time goalless & then fell apart when the first goal went in.
Pub team from Gibraltar have won a Conference League qualifier & will be facing FC Copenhagen in the next round
There have been quite a few bad ones but that's the worst display of rubbish one of our teams has ever shown in Europe.
Unbeaten at home in Europe.
Another one likely to bite the dust this week unless they get a miracle. Mad considering how things looked for them a few years ago with the European money.
Didn't do a Rangers after all.
3 points ahead, 6 games to go, playing like dogshit for the last 6 or 7 games. We shall see what the Duffer is made of now.
Probably due a random world football update, sponsored by The Sweeper.
Auckland City have joined the A-League, becoming the second New Zealand team in the competition, and have started by winning all three of their opening games, including beating the other NZ side Wellington Phoenix this morning.
Turkmenistani side Arkadag, who are owned by the former dictator & are definitely not doing anything questionable, have finally failed to win a game after going 61-0-0.
Swedish fourth division women’s side Ängelholm finished second despite not conceding a single goal all season.
Copa Libertadores final is on tonight - 8pm on BBC3 or iPlayer, I believe.
Atletico Mineiro vs Botafogo, which is the fourth all-Brazil final in five years & will be the sixth consecutive Brazilian winner, so that’s good.
Not many shit hot wonderkids on display by the sound of it, but Botafogo have Thiago Almada, who will be well known to FM players & is potentially getting moved to Lyon in January if Botafogo win this & Lyon aren’t completely fucked. They also have a couple of other notable players in Igor Jesus & Luiz Henrique, who are both around the national team setup.
Mineiro, meanwhile, have their own FM hero in the shape of Hulk, as well as Deyverson, who sounds like a gold medal shithouser, so hopefully he’ll spark a punch up if the game gets one sided.
It’ll probably end up being tense & a bit niggly, with Botafogo coming out on top, but fingers crossed we get a game worth watching.
Great shout cheers!
Just going live now.
Dkokovic? Has Brazil ran out of celebrities?
EDIT: There's the first murder.

Good start🤣
Never like those, but it is funny.
Pat Nevin has lost his mind.
That was ugly looking & ended badly, but is it really his fault? Dude lowered his head right into contact. It’s a bit like those NFL ones where someone drops their head & the defender gets flagged for helmet to helmet.
Given this is South Americans I wouldn't put it past the kicking guy to be snidely trying to kick the other one's head off, and the other one snidely trying to jump into the foot to get him sent off.
Here’s the red for anyone who hasn’t seen it.
Maybe Mineiro will actually try to do something with their man advantage now. Other than just let Hulk smack it from 30 yards, I mean.
Not quite what I meant.
Turns out a geriatric Hulk being their talisman means they're absolutely shite.
Telles should be sent off for this rolling about act.
Another fast start to the half, albeit for slightly different reasons.
This final is like watching some old PES game. Everything direct and rapid with loads of skill moves.
Yet everyone's got a rating of 67 so the end product is rotten. Makes me want to get back to my Brusque Master League.
This is all setup for Hulk to smash one in the top corner in injury time from 40 yards.
This has been a pretty decent final. Botofogo never really looked in danger though despite having ten.
Mineiro were embarrassing there - barely did anything in the first half despite having an extra man for the whole time, then snatched at everything after they scored early in the second half - that attempted lob towards the end was particularly horrific.
