Not the grandest of grounds I admit, but I think we can all agree that the view is rather stunning at Hásteinsvöllur stadium, located on an island off the south coast of Iceland.

My 20-year-old daughter (who went on her first home match aged 8 days!) is in Monterrey now!
She went in July for a year's study in Spanish at the university.

We've had strikers that would be more likely to hit the mountain than the net.

I know what view I would like to see
Looking at another five thousand Clarets fans in a premier league fit size stand it's to small of a stand and honesty be told makes us look small time
It's had lots of work done and has the best view to take in a game and the most expensive stand to watch a game from
You can go site seeing anytime I go to a football match to see a game of football and be amongst full house atmospheric crowds
Although it is a stunning view a would much rather be looking at a big bank of Clarets instead all day long UTC

I think you have to applaud the work Burnley Borough Council has put in on the Burnley Wood area.

Was our 24th wedding anniversary yesterday!
Think I took the current Mrs. Dougall on that match in 1996 to celebrate!!

I'll bet they don't get dopey commentators saying..... Here we are at one of the oldest stadiums in the country, and in the distance behind the Bob Lord Stand is Pendle Hill bathed in sunshine.
