Footie Stadium 101

First it was the Emirates Stadium in London......

The stadium tour apparently costs 15 pounds, which I'm really not willing to part with.

Everything Arsenal.

For those of you who want to visit, the Underground stop is Arsenal (duh!!) on the Picadilly line.

Then, it was Camp Nou in Barcelona....

It doesn't say so, but this is Camp Nou....

People lining up to buy match tickets or tour tickets. This is another 18 Euro I'm not willing to part with.

Apparently, a footie stadium will not be complete without its megastore.

Inside, the store is made to look like a stadium.

By the time Estadium Santiagio Bernabeu is visited, I've learnt some tricks to keep myself amused (someone else paid for these tickets to get in).....

1. Take pictures of anything that spells the footie club in question to make all your footie fanatic friends jealous.

2. Look for a cutie... this one's Raul Lopez, number 24.

3. Take pictures of anything you can find that has the cutie's endorsement....

4. .....only to find that it actually belongs to another cutie with the same name.

5. Touch the pitch and make sure there is evidence that you have touched it....

6. ......especially if it's forbidden, just to impress your friends further. Then go home and brag about it.

Heee.
