The game was in the top division of the regional Hradec Kralove area leagues; fifth rung of the Czech pyramid. A five goal thriller, enjoyable, in nice autumnal weather, a perfect end to my 2010 Czech trip!

The ground itself was down a dirt track off of the road. You cannot see the place from the road, so if it hadn't been for these signs i doubt if I would have found it in time for kick off!
![](https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/_1SQ4PYUuBUk/TRExygH24_I/AAAAAAAAC08/Ebu9kvpwE94/s400/DSCF2776.jpg)
After a good few hundred yards this is the ground.
![](https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/_1SQ4PYUuBUk/TREx0lkN8wI/AAAAAAAAC1A/N7KWp_j6lPc/s400/DSCF2777.jpg)
The way in.
![](https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/_1SQ4PYUuBUk/TREx2dRlMOI/AAAAAAAAC1E/o8LFluqkh84/s400/DSCF2778.jpg)
On the other side of the entrance booth was this fixtures poster.
![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/_1SQ4PYUuBUk/TRE1KPxBTiI/AAAAAAAAC7c/AgLroA2l6XY/s400/DSCF2879.jpg)
The booth was not in use, and this table was used for the people collecting the gate money.
![](https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/_1SQ4PYUuBUk/TREyCH86qjI/AAAAAAAAC1g/3fwUlsgkcFQ/s400/DSCF2784.jpg)
Here we see it from inside the ground.
![](https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/_1SQ4PYUuBUk/TREx8jsqNeI/AAAAAAAAC1Q/KCHyzbUm4og/s400/DSCF2781.jpg)
Straight ahead is the back of one of the stands.
![](https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/_1SQ4PYUuBUk/TREx_5wLBWI/AAAAAAAAC1c/Dg1bNcbfrQ4/s400/DSCF2783.jpg)
These steps lead up to the seats. But we will go up them later.
![](https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/_1SQ4PYUuBUk/TRE1HyOoPZI/AAAAAAAAC7Y/09ZOneaS8r8/s400/DSCF2878.jpg)
Turning left, as we will go round the stadium in a clockwise direction, is the clubhouse.
![](https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/_1SQ4PYUuBUk/TREyDxUTvSI/AAAAAAAAC1k/4cipB-0XdTg/s400/DSCF2785.jpg)
Part of the small bar area.
![](https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/_1SQ4PYUuBUk/TREx4spKaOI/AAAAAAAAC1I/YI7D45pIb_I/s400/DSCF2779.jpg)
Back outside, there is hard standing, with a bench by the pitch perimeter.
![](https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/_1SQ4PYUuBUk/TREyGINji5I/AAAAAAAAC1o/ZMRRTTjTUxw/s400/DSCF2786.jpg)
In the corner behind the goal, one fan is hanging up his club flag.
![](https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/_1SQ4PYUuBUk/TREx6rb-qpI/AAAAAAAAC1M/t1n926QBUjw/s400/DSCF2780.jpg)
No idea why, but later on an old Chelsea one appeared!
![](https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/_1SQ4PYUuBUk/TRE0B7Knd7I/AAAAAAAAC5U/UFNE0k1jOLk/s400/DSCF2844.jpg)
Here we look along the front of the near stand, from the area in front of the bar.
![](https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/_1SQ4PYUuBUk/TREyH9DPFJI/AAAAAAAAC1s/zPPsZPx5Se8/s400/DSCF2787.jpg)
Bar on the left, it must be pleasant in warmer weather, to the corner. BBQ not fired up today!
![](https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/_1SQ4PYUuBUk/TREyKa-xnlI/AAAAAAAAC1w/ecwCQsjfOzg/s400/DSCF2788.jpg)
Behind the goal there is plastic bench seating on top of flat concrete slab terracing.
![](https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/_1SQ4PYUuBUk/TREyM9_F03I/AAAAAAAAC10/zJwX8o0RI3s/s400/DSCF2789.jpg)
Down the touchline, near stand on the right.
![](https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/_1SQ4PYUuBUk/TREySfniDbI/AAAAAAAAC2A/aXVOmXyuTAg/s400/DSCF2792.jpg)
Stepping more to our left we get a better view of it, and see the other stand down the other end of that side, further along.
![](https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/_1SQ4PYUuBUk/TREyUQO69qI/AAAAAAAAC2E/zp7bZpOZYFU/s400/DSCF2793.jpg)
The benches continue along, to the goal area. Note the pitch marking to the middle left of this picture.
![](https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/_1SQ4PYUuBUk/TREyQ5f7fEI/AAAAAAAAC18/3-drSpKTx-c/s400/DSCF2791.jpg)
There is a small size all -weather pitch here.
![](https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/_1SQ4PYUuBUk/TREyO35RwQI/AAAAAAAAC14/B0tbaQEhpQ0/s400/DSCF2790.jpg)
The benches stop just before the goal.
![](https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/_1SQ4PYUuBUk/TREyWr8YJ5I/AAAAAAAAC2I/9hCcK-FReNc/s400/DSCF2794.jpg)
But the unusual slab terracing continues to the corner.
![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/_1SQ4PYUuBUk/TREyZTUE7CI/AAAAAAAAC2M/l8jt0PRf3ek/s400/DSCF2795.jpg)
From behind the goal we turn to the stands side.
![](https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/_1SQ4PYUuBUk/TREybOpEt7I/AAAAAAAAC2Q/g4WShYYNGqE/s400/DSCF2796.jpg)
It is completely open on the other touchline.
![](https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/_1SQ4PYUuBUk/TREydQ5Ck2I/AAAAAAAAC2U/Lvb9sOm4jRE/s400/DSCF2797.jpg)
We are heading toward the next corner.
![](https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/_1SQ4PYUuBUk/TREyfxNVGPI/AAAAAAAAC2Y/BUcUQOtM3fU/s400/DSCF2798.jpg)
Almost at the other side now, we glance back along the steps of terrace.
![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/_1SQ4PYUuBUk/TREyiMgtWjI/AAAAAAAAC2c/RaS4wtMCnOk/s400/DSCF2799.jpg)
Corner flag shot, over the pitch to the stands.
![](https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/_1SQ4PYUuBUk/TREykPNvt0I/AAAAAAAAC2g/sfwbE9-lg7c/s400/DSCF2800.jpg)
Down the side, a small section of ordinary pitch perimeter fence, then past that tall netting.
![](https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/_1SQ4PYUuBUk/TREymbl2CcI/AAAAAAAAC2k/XsAv-68Vv5E/s400/DSCF2801.jpg)
That runs the full length of this side, no concrete underfoot.
![](https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/_1SQ4PYUuBUk/TREypEAogSI/AAAAAAAAC2s/rimnX1Ghvng/s400/DSCF2802.jpg)
Over the area we look over to one of the stands.
![](https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/_1SQ4PYUuBUk/TREyrCCKUiI/AAAAAAAAC2w/VEMm0JkaIuo/s400/DSCF2803.jpg)
To the left of the netting is a second pitch.
![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/_1SQ4PYUuBUk/TREywRkcsNI/AAAAAAAAC24/HqgEMqO4F_o/s400/DSCF2805.jpg)
That pitch has dugouts over the far side.
![](https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/_1SQ4PYUuBUk/TREyuCp8fCI/AAAAAAAAC20/N0nMipkyACo/s400/DSCF2804.jpg)
Back to the main we, we see the dugouts across the halfway line.
![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/_1SQ4PYUuBUk/TREyy-Ee8WI/AAAAAAAAC28/jXovxKJxGUc/s400/DSCF2806.jpg)
Moving along the open side we are now opposite the second stand.
![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/_1SQ4PYUuBUk/TREy1YDkDxI/AAAAAAAAC3A/RLWYZaBTcRY/s400/DSCF2807.jpg)
Both stands in this shot, from near the corner.
![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/_1SQ4PYUuBUk/TREy3M_tmpI/AAAAAAAAC3E/sjUOEXqAIvg/s400/DSCF2808.jpg)
There is also a hoarding or two on the netting.
![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/_1SQ4PYUuBUk/TREy5G5dVYI/AAAAAAAAC3I/5JSkuY5SQR0/s400/DSCF2809.jpg)
Right in the corner is a scoreboard.
![](https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/_1SQ4PYUuBUk/TREy7HYIhcI/AAAAAAAAC3M/dh9wUXLxe7M/s400/DSCF2810.jpg)
Set back behind that is presumably the groundmans area.
![](https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/_1SQ4PYUuBUk/TREzAhACweI/AAAAAAAAC3U/c_TUXwh-SO8/s400/DSCF2812.jpg)
Behind the goal now, actually under the scoreboard, it's fencing at ordinary height behind the goal, to the left, as we look across the pitch.
![](https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/_1SQ4PYUuBUk/TREzCa_GroI/AAAAAAAAC3Y/o-tPS6laXT4/s400/DSCF2813.jpg)
Though there is high netting once more, behind the goal itself. Still no hard standing underfoot.
![](https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/_1SQ4PYUuBUk/TREzEqmFX5I/AAAAAAAAC3c/v5eqtVBmR_w/s400/DSCF2814.jpg)
A proper photographer! Puts my little 'digital box brownie' to shame!
![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/_1SQ4PYUuBUk/TRE0z86Kp3I/AAAAAAAAC60/2awe3wCmbTU/s400/DSCF2869.jpg)
Behind the goal, turning toward the stands side.
![](https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/_1SQ4PYUuBUk/TREzGUSjjAI/AAAAAAAAC3g/f4t2JTBMFgM/s400/DSCF2815.jpg)
The goal area has certainly seen better days!
![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/_1SQ4PYUuBUk/TRE046vaJzI/AAAAAAAAC68/Ez1PFfl4BSw/s400/DSCF2871.jpg)
Same direction, past the next post.
![](https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/_1SQ4PYUuBUk/TREzIEWMSzI/AAAAAAAAC3k/QE10uBtKxnA/s400/DSCF2816.jpg)
Past the high netting, the fence continues to the corner.
![](https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/_1SQ4PYUuBUk/TREzLAKzlkI/AAAAAAAAC3o/c3ToEOJ5DSE/s400/DSCF2817.jpg)
Almost at the last side.
![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/_1SQ4PYUuBUk/TREzNHBlmmI/AAAAAAAAC3s/Wg8W946A8D4/s400/DSCF2818.jpg)
After a little gap in the corner the perimeter railed fence starts once more along the side.
![](https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/_1SQ4PYUuBUk/TREzPzlVX_I/AAAAAAAAC3w/WYJxARZmkyc/s400/DSCF2819.jpg)
Behind it it's a little tight with the overgrowing trees.
![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/_1SQ4PYUuBUk/TREzTHPFCvI/AAAAAAAAC34/Ztvx27SE7FA/s400/DSCF2820.jpg)
At the side of the stand at this end.
![](https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/_1SQ4PYUuBUk/TREzVKdiJwI/AAAAAAAAC38/ad2wZdF8DN4/s400/DSCF2821.jpg)
The steps up to it are at the rear.
![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/_1SQ4PYUuBUk/TREzbhJz08I/AAAAAAAAC4I/QFAQSmdCBsg/s400/DSCF2824.jpg)
From up in it we turn back to the open end.
![](https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/_1SQ4PYUuBUk/TREzdpT09MI/AAAAAAAAC4M/HYNjXRPPgEw/s400/DSCF2825.jpg)
There are three rows of seats along it, in the club green.
![](https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/_1SQ4PYUuBUk/TREzgb_VfEI/AAAAAAAAC4Q/h_Dh_ZxzO4Q/s400/DSCF2827.jpg)
A similar angle, from the front.
![](https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/_1SQ4PYUuBUk/TREzlMPPH_I/AAAAAAAAC4Y/7S6xi_5K8MY/s400/DSCF2829.jpg)
At the end of this stand is the tannoy box.
![](https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/_1SQ4PYUuBUk/TREzmlXgYwI/AAAAAAAAC4c/IEqu7dTXGsg/s400/DSCF2830.jpg)
Here we see it from on the pitch.
![](https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/_1SQ4PYUuBUk/TRE07oNCphI/AAAAAAAAC7A/qdHp3KMzEW0/s400/DSCF2872.jpg)
Beyond it is the changing rooms area, hard standing outside, and the dugouts.
![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/_1SQ4PYUuBUk/TREzonhfoAI/AAAAAAAAC4g/N8zqWOcKwxw/s400/DSCF2831.jpg)
With the stand where we came in, just past them.
![](https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/_1SQ4PYUuBUk/TREzqRUPyRI/AAAAAAAAC4k/9QjfiXi605Q/s400/DSCF2832.jpg)
The dugouts from on the pitch.
![](https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/_1SQ4PYUuBUk/TRE09V2RKjI/AAAAAAAAC7E/oxBROfU2LZQ/s400/DSCF2873.jpg)
Looking toward them.
![](https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/_1SQ4PYUuBUk/TRE0_6Cw_gI/AAAAAAAAC7I/Twex0NhmfnU/s400/DSCF2874.jpg)
Just inside the players tunnel.
![](https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/_1SQ4PYUuBUk/TRE1F8TFybI/AAAAAAAAC7U/f6JhcxB1KO8/s400/DSCF2877.jpg)
On the outer wall of the changing rooms is this nice club noticeboard.
![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/_1SQ4PYUuBUk/TREzsED5LDI/AAAAAAAAC4o/IbRPH_oMzNM/s400/DSCF2833.jpg)
By the last stand now, with the terraced end in the background.
![](https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/_1SQ4PYUuBUk/TREzyABISWI/AAAAAAAAC40/9FEFtkCb2oM/s400/DSCF2837.jpg)
Same design as the other one, steps again at the back, as we saw at the beginning of this tour.
![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/_1SQ4PYUuBUk/TREz0NQJH-I/AAAAAAAAC44/k25MVuuGIQw/s400/DSCF2838.jpg)
From up inside it we look over the tops of the dugouts.
![](https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/_1SQ4PYUuBUk/TREz2OM8ZYI/AAAAAAAAC48/mxCDqAiq6Fg/s400/DSCF2839.jpg)
Once more three rows of seats.
![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/_1SQ4PYUuBUk/TREz6xxyD6I/AAAAAAAAC5E/KvK5SMoNfVw/s400/DSCF2841.jpg)
At the other end of it, looking out to the terrace.
![](https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/_1SQ4PYUuBUk/TREz9V8NfpI/AAAAAAAAC5M/7TvVx7YG7cM/s400/DSCF2842.jpg)
Before turning round.
![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/_1SQ4PYUuBUk/TRE0EJzluXI/AAAAAAAAC5Y/H5dzdS2dABo/s400/DSCF2845.jpg)
Along the touchline, from the front of the stand.
![](https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/_1SQ4PYUuBUk/TRE0Hb1TKYI/AAAAAAAAC5c/EqCWFNnHb4M/s400/DSCF2846.jpg)
And down to the corner, where we began.
![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/_1SQ4PYUuBUk/TREz_q1LunI/AAAAAAAAC5Q/5IURiivSkNE/s400/DSCF2843.jpg)
We finish the stadium tour by seeing the stand from the front.
![](https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/_1SQ4PYUuBUk/TRE1D1990mI/AAAAAAAAC7Q/dkBe__P9diM/s400/DSCF2876.jpg)
Now quite a few snaps, by my standards, from the match:

Final score:
![](https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/_1SQ4PYUuBUk/TRE02IIoDOI/AAAAAAAAC64/xpdHp1UXPZU/s400/DSCF2870.jpg)
He looks disapointed as he leaves the pitch, which is quite apt, as although I've really enjoyed my brief visit, it is tinged with sadness as I head back to the train station, as this match concludes my October 2010 visit to the Czech Republic! Roll on October 2011 for my next one!
