I'm no 'expert' on Czech football politics, but I believe this club was bought out by the 'fake' Bohemians, who then moved elsewhere, & thus this place became the FK Viktoria Zizkov training ground, & home for their B team.
Whatever, it's a nice little ground, & worth a visit, on the edge of Prague, about a mile from the nearest Metro, uphill, but there are a number of buses, if you've got a one day public transport pass.

Here is the entrance from the road.
![](http://lh3.ggpht.com/_8Mqu1wmEwRw/Svh8b7nLbuI/AAAAAAAAApY/LCI1GeS-ov4/s400/PICT0058.jpg)
To the right of that is this entrance, round the corner. Note the beer stands through the gates.
![](http://lh4.ggpht.com/_8Mqu1wmEwRw/Svh8vjVBg2I/AAAAAAAAApg/xyL84PQ87AI/s400/PICT0060.jpg)
Moving along, still outside, is the back of the main stand, which has the bar restaurant area on the first floor, with changing rooms & offices down below. Note the sign ,that still says Xaverov.

We go inside through the open gates we saw a couple of photos ago. To our right is the refreshment area, with the main stand just past it.
![](http://lh6.ggpht.com/_8Mqu1wmEwRw/Svh4o4h-ZnI/AAAAAAAAAn0/5mYMipdxyds/s400/PICT0034.jpg)
To our left, behind the goal, is an open stand, which, if momory serves me right, was the 'away' section.
![](http://lh4.ggpht.com/_8Mqu1wmEwRw/Svh3-VKm5oI/AAAAAAAAAno/nBmXze2pe-8/s400/PICT0031.jpg)
In the corner beyond the seats is the scoreboard.
![](http://lh6.ggpht.com/_8Mqu1wmEwRw/Svh4P4Z-JiI/AAAAAAAAAns/Fd_EqwNVFEE/s400/PICT0032.jpg)
From this spot we turn round, and get our first look at the main stand.
![](http://lh5.ggpht.com/_8Mqu1wmEwRw/Svh4eTXbDBI/AAAAAAAAAnw/mHLRn-EcLKU/s400/PICT0033.jpg)
Now at the front of the main stand we glance back at that open end.
![](http://lh6.ggpht.com/_8Mqu1wmEwRw/Svh4y-dCdRI/AAAAAAAAAn4/gGFcqBo-bLA/s400/PICT0035.jpg)
To our right, at the other end is another bank od open seating, set above the pitch, with other club buildings, for the secondary pitches, & the rest of the complex, behind.
![](http://lh6.ggpht.com/_8Mqu1wmEwRw/Svh4-OXZIEI/AAAAAAAAAn8/E80KIj8CTt4/s400/PICT0036.jpg)
Here we are, by the players tunnel, looking up into the stand.
![](http://lh5.ggpht.com/_8Mqu1wmEwRw/Svh5GdFrRsI/AAAAAAAAAoA/nXukmpNCjnI/s400/PICT0037.jpg)
The small telly gantry in the stand.
![](http://lh6.ggpht.com/_8Mqu1wmEwRw/Svh5Qjif36I/AAAAAAAAAoE/1awUuFoXg0Q/s400/PICT0038.jpg)
Looking at the far goal, from in the 'VIP' seats.
![](http://lh3.ggpht.com/_8Mqu1wmEwRw/Svh5ZMBW6tI/AAAAAAAAAoI/nKeIpaGxjlY/s400/PICT0039.jpg)
And the other end, from on the gantry.
![](http://lh4.ggpht.com/_8Mqu1wmEwRw/Svh5mRrCOuI/AAAAAAAAAoM/EdNK5YLQPpA/s400/PICT0040.jpg)
Over the pitch, we see there is nothing at all on the down the far side. This is a three-sided stadium.
![](http://lh6.ggpht.com/_8Mqu1wmEwRw/Svh5rk6vV2I/AAAAAAAAAoQ/UdbIh41YVaY/s400/PICT0041.jpg)
Another view across the seats.
![](http://lh3.ggpht.com/_8Mqu1wmEwRw/Svh54PuSr3I/AAAAAAAAAoU/bHf6JQn2-2Y/s400/PICT0042.jpg)
On the pitch now, we look at the main stand.
![](http://lh4.ggpht.com/_8Mqu1wmEwRw/Svh6OwlwbHI/AAAAAAAAAog/rTv5P6hSBm8/s400/PICT0044.jpg)
Looking directly at the tunnel & dugouts.
![](http://lh3.ggpht.com/_8Mqu1wmEwRw/Svh6lgVE37I/AAAAAAAAAoo/Vz-_VOPq-jg/s400/PICT0046.jpg)
An angled shot of the dugouts, stand in view behind.
![](http://lh4.ggpht.com/_8Mqu1wmEwRw/Svh6xhLNbvI/AAAAAAAAAos/IWkvNPjGsgE/s400/PICT0047.jpg)
Stepping back a little, we get a side angle of the seats from the pitch.
![](http://lh3.ggpht.com/_8Mqu1wmEwRw/Svh7GzNj8-I/AAAAAAAAAo0/HccseFQ7vkE/s400/PICT0049.jpg)
Moving along we turn toward the higher seats behind the goal.
![](http://lh5.ggpht.com/_8Mqu1wmEwRw/Svh6Z6QZnlI/AAAAAAAAAok/EVWdGTLhi-I/s400/PICT0045.jpg)
Back behind the pitch perimeter, it's open hard standing, along with assorted 'football ground junk', to the bank of seats behind the goal.
![](http://lh4.ggpht.com/_8Mqu1wmEwRw/Svh6EtRFWUI/AAAAAAAAAoY/aY4-0FpDYr4/s400/PICT0043.jpg)
Now we are behind the goal, at last. Time to see what's the other side of those buildings...
![](http://lh4.ggpht.com/_8Mqu1wmEwRw/Svh68Y664UI/AAAAAAAAAow/afyIGAtufoY/s400/PICT0048.jpg)
Fenced & locked, it open hard standing...
![](http://lh4.ggpht.com/_8Mqu1wmEwRw/Svh7RS32kNI/AAAAAAAAAo4/fzCDJxxQIz4/s400/PICT0050.jpg)
Here's a better view, through the fence behind the goal.
![](http://lh6.ggpht.com/_8Mqu1wmEwRw/Svh7q56-qpI/AAAAAAAAApA/U-soHjk0V2M/s400/PICT0052.jpg)
This is the same goal area, as the photo above, local indoor tennis club behind.
![](http://lh3.ggpht.com/_8Mqu1wmEwRw/Svh7fn68fEI/AAAAAAAAAo8/P8v5fPfwdvA/s400/PICT0051.jpg)
The far side of this pitch is railed off.
![](http://lh5.ggpht.com/_8Mqu1wmEwRw/Svh70gwuJxI/AAAAAAAAApE/EXPMfg_lJeA/s400/PICT0053.jpg)
And there is a sction of terracing, further along.
![](http://lh5.ggpht.com/_8Mqu1wmEwRw/Svh7_MMcnYI/AAAAAAAAApI/h7qi2SU8RGo/s400/PICT0054.jpg)
Behind that there is a third pitch.
![](http://lh6.ggpht.com/_8Mqu1wmEwRw/Svh8O3cCreI/AAAAAAAAApQ/bLH0Vq42v5I/s400/PICT0056.jpg)
And along the far side of that is a stretch of covered terrace.
