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.
Sint-Truidersteenweg, Hoepertingen (formerly k Hand In Hand Hoepertingen) Belgium, province: Belgian Limburg 26 IV 2014 / HIH Hoepertingen - RC Peer 4-2 / Belgian Limburg, Provincial League 2 - promotion play-off (= Div. 6) Note 1: HIH Hoepertingen moved to a new ground at Weg op Berlingen (later renamed Freddy Feytonsstadion) in mid-2014, leaving the Sint-Truidersteenweg pitch to its own devices. Since, it has been taken over by Intesa, a society dedicated to giving care to mentally and physically handicapped people; for their benefit, the pitch has been turned into a garden and playground. Note 2: below, a combination of photos taken on two different visits: no. 1-14 = match visit, April 2014 / no. 15-27 = visit to the ground's ruins, August 2017.
