So what would be the benefit in doing this? Would it be a Business choice or is it a way of helping to develop our U23 players with learning to cope with a different type of league?

This looks like their stadium, withdean feel about it.

Picture is of the Heysel Stadium, so I guess this particular game may have been moved.

They play at Stade Joseph Marien, (capacity 5500) in the middle of a forest, just 10 minutes on the tram from Gare du Midi. They are known as being a quirky left wing side, a Belgian St Pauli if you like.

That’s not their ground. They play at Stade Joseph Marien, in the middle of a forest, just 10 minutes on the tram from Gare du Midi. .

Front view, the ground has been used since 1919 and is one of the oldest in the Belguim League. They are a classic sleeping giant, have kept their own identity through a rash of mergers in the Belgian league. Friendly club, barman bought me a drink when I first visited, and put on a game on the video as the afternoon scheduled match had been postponed.

Interesting mural in the gents dedicted to a local working girl. It's that sort of place.
