Not a particularly high level, but I enjoyed having a gander at Taormina (Sicily) FC's home every day on my honeymoon on the cable car from the hotel to town.

Palace tried that in the 80s but Noades spilled his Strawberry Angel Delight on the plans and the rest is history.

Aldershot had a floral clock behind one goal in the sixties.

Did they have a hedge though? I'm sure they did.

Yeah, but they don't actually play football on it, it's just been made as a joke (right?)

Alas no just a **** off big bet around the ground.
Ulloa’s penalty would have got over it mind.
Apparently this doubles up as a stadium?
For all of SP's obvious shortcomings, I do LOVE a stadium surrounded by narrow streets and rows of houses.

I like this one. Cathkin Park, once home of Third Lanark FC. Used to be a proper old ground until they went out of business fifty odd years ago. Now most of the terracing- which goes around most of the stadium bowl- has slowly been subsumed by trees. It has a faintly Withdean-esque feel to it. They're trying to restore it now.
This is what it used to look like:

Very close to Hampden Park, by the way.
