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.

BELGIUM: KFC Dessel Sport (1930-2011)
Lorzestadion, Dessel (formerly KFC Dessel Sport)
Belgium, province: Antwerp
1 V 2005 / FC Dessel Sport - KAS Eupen 0-2 / Tweede Klasse (= BE level 2)
27 III 2010 / FC Dessel Sport - White Star Woluwe 5-0 / Derde Klasse B (= BE level 3)
Note 1: KFC Dessel Sport were founded in 1926 (as Desschel Sport FC) and played their home matches at another Lorzestraat ground before moving to this, the so-called Lorze stadium, on the other side of the same road four years later. In the summer of 2011, the Lorzestraat stadium was knocked down (cp. last three photos in this series) and the club moved to a new stadium, named after Armand Melis.
Note 2: below, a compilation of photos taken on four different visits, chronologically: matchday visit, May 2005 = photos 14-16 / matchday visit, March 2010 = photos 2 & 17-28 / non-matchday visit, September 2010 = 1 & 3-13 / non-matchday visit, August 2011 = 29-31. Most of the September 2010 photos have been re-edited by Anneke te Boekhorst.
