Matchroom Stadium

Frisbee Road is where the Ultimate Frisbee Tournaments for London are held. Honest. Whereas this stadium is way down in Australia, rather than in the Orient. In Brisbane to be exact. It sounds kind of like Breastbone. Speaking of which, my gf, omg, they’re so spectacular, really.
First-​Hand Experience: More info about my personal experience at this stadium — Leyton Orient play here, about 3 miles from East 17 where my parents used to live when they first fell in love. Don’t get me started, I’m in an emotional mood lately.
It’s one of the most beloved and historic little venues in London, and vastly underrated. It needs a facelift and a renovation so badly but I can’t possibly give it less than a 4 because the fans create such an atmosphere and it’s such a jewel in North East London. It’s just a wonderful place. I was here as a kid, then as a teen, then as an adult as recently as 2007. I will be going back in 2016 and taking someone special with me. I love watching football here. It’s lovely.
I’ve been to most UK & US stadiums, due to lifelong obsessions with travel, sport & especially footy (soccer to Americans). Born & raised in England, I followed Oxford United (hometown team) to stadia all over the country at away games, and later Liverpool (fave team) around. Every stadium review — like all my reviews — are from first-​hand personal experience, usually from several visits. In 2011, I was on music tour in the UK, and visited most stadiums for fun in my spare time. As recently as Fall 2014, when I was «stuck» in UK for 3 months, I went to hundreds yet again while travelling. I have pictures of me at most, which I’ll post later. Also, when back in UK I’ll take more pix, and add more stadia!

So anyway. A lovely little tiny 9k closed in urban stadium in NE London, that reminds me of a mini version of the old Wembley with towering towery towerblocks and a real structure, that holds in the noise and gives the place a real raucous atmosphere. We’re hoping that they’ll rise up to a new level of greatness and someday replace some of the boring London clubs (QPR, Chelsea, Spurs) in the top flight of the league. You never know amirite.
Lovely little Leyton Orient play here, one of my fave teams. Some internationals have been played here including USA v England women’s (tragic, should be in a bigger venue), Jamaica v Egypt, and Ghana v Zambia. In which Sulley Muntari scored, but I don’t want to keep mentioning that because it might Sulley his name.
