Gotta be a fairly big hitter over in that there Belgium in order to have a Stade named after him.

Joseph Charles Marien (25 January 1900 – 1950) was a Belgian marathon runner. He competed at the 1928 Summer Olympics and finished in 56th place.[1]

Ok so I'm sure Stade Waffles, Stade Tin Tin and Stade Poirot have already been taken by more illustrious team in Belgium.

We know the Belgiumists are short of celebrities, but come on, Stade du crap snickers runner?


Maybe Unkie Tony should look at changing the name:-

Stade Barber-Out
Stade Possession
Stade Not a Money Pit.





and in case you were wondering - no I really don't want to interact with the outside world, today.

That is indeed one Joseph Marien.

There is also another Joseph Marien who was the USG president until his death in 1933.

That's a relief.

I knew I was playing with fire as I half expected there to be a Joseph Marien who single-handedly kept a battalion on German soldiers at bay while keeping hoards of 'undesirables' safe from their clutches.

The '' Stade de Poirot '' would be an interesting concept

The seating could be one of those walking sticks that converts and opens up into a seat - Then when not being used the Stadium instantly converts to ''safe standing'' stadium
