Simply photos of matchday and stadium visits, mainly in Belgium and the Netherlands, occasionally in Britain or farther afield. Additionally, some historical information about grounds and clubs is provided. Others call it 'groundhopping', whereas I prefer 'football tourism'... but things have run slightly out of control: therefore, this is Extreme Football Tourism.

Netherlands, province: Guelders
24 V 2011 / SV DVS '33 - SV DZC '68 3-0 / Zaterdag Hoofdklasse-1e klasse promotion/relegation play-off (NL levels 4 & 5)
Note: Founded in 1933 as a merger of two smaller clubs from Ermelo, EFC and Ajax, SV DVS '33 (named SV Ermelo for two seasons, 1956-58) initially made use of both older clubs' grounds - Ajax' Terrein Knevel being the main ground and EFC's pitch at Hamburgerweg remaining in use for training purposes. After leaving Terrein Knevel in 1945, the club successively played at Sonneheerdt (1945-±1946), Terrein Loedeman - Oude Nijkerkerweg (±1946-51), Terrein Jan Hamstra - Oude Nijkerkerweg (1951-62), before settling down at their current ground - then situated at Hamburgerweg, nowadays at Sportlaan - in 1962. In 1983, a first main stand (the one visible in the photos below) was constructed, offering 370 spectators a covered seat. In 2012, this stand was replaced by a new, much bigger successor. The old stand was sold to vv Staphorst, where it was rebuilt at Sportpark Het Noorderslag.
