NORTHERN IRELAND: Ballymena United FC

Ballymena Showgrounds, Ballymena (Ballymena United FC)

Northern Ireland, county: Antrim

27 VI 2019 / Ballymena United - NSÍ Runavik 2-0 / UEFA Europa League qualifier R1, first leg

Note 1: in 2010, the Warden Street Stand, erected in 1980 (to be seen in pictures 4-6 below), was knocked down and replaced by a new all-seater stand (cp. pictures 11-12). Until early 2019, the ground was also used for stock car racing purposes (cp. picture 7-8).

Note 2: below, a compilation of photographs of two different visits: pictures 1-7 = non-matchday visit, August 19th, 2009 / pictures 10-26 = match visit, June 27th, 2019.
