This was the venue, a sports hall, photo a little dark as it was night time.

The venue was 'only' three nearby streets away from the local Metro station. Looked simple enough. Unfortunately it was way down below, somewhere down here, & I got well lost on my way down there!

Once I found it & was inside the game had already started. The main bank of seating was on one side, with a few rows at the end to my right.

Back in the hall, this small group are away fans, from Pardubice. The night before I had been to their city to watch their town ice hockey side.
