FK Jedinstvo Rumenka

Rumenka is village not far from Novi Sad. Their football club is called Jedinstvo or if you try to translate into English, United! But he is far from any United. FK Jedinstvo is founded in 1932. For years now plays in PFL Novi Sad , which is the fifth tier of Serbian football. Currently they are second in league with ambitions to move into a higher rank. I do not know why I expected to see "something". I was very disappointed when I arrived at the location where should be the football stadium. Only the pitch, fences and hard standing on the grass, probably in the mud when the first rain drops. Dressing room is a small prefabricated houses next to it is the mother of all citizens, buffet or in the Serbian language "kafana". Cheers...
 

FK Tatra

Football club Tatra is from Kisač, place in the vicinity of Novi Sad. Club is founded in 1929. They curently plays in the GFL Novi Sad (city league), which is six rank of competition in Serbia. This place has a Slovak ethnic majority and because that club has a name as some clubs in Slovakia. Their stadium is located in the main street beside the park. Fenced and has a gate above which is written the name of the club. I personally like it when there is such a gate. There is only one small wooden stands that originated from long time ago with pillars that hold the roof and disturb watching events on the pitch. Such stands are far as I know, constructed before fifty to sixty years (when is made Craven Cottage?). Ok, the club is long established, and it is not the only one with a similar stand. Something like this stands have Bačka and Obilić. But certainly when you are inside the ground you feel that you are on a football stadium, despite the fact that there is not much stands. I love it...


 
If you want to see something interestingly, look at this picture below! I read about this game before I think two years, that were impossible conditions for play and that the lines are marked in the pitch not to go through the mud...

FK Proleter NS 2-1 FK Mladost Lučani

09.10.2011.
Prva liga Srbija - II
Slana bara, Novi Sad
att: 400
It is not the first time that I come to this stadium but it is incredible that always follow me bad weather when I was here. With an occasional drop of rain, wind was retracted into the bones, as they say here. Fortunately, on the eastern stand, where I was, first row is sheltered behind the commercials.
There were about four hundred people on this match. Admission was 150 rsd which is 1.50 euro. Honestly lately, I often find the free entrance to the stadium, to gather more people. But also this is a small price to second league match. In the first half, many more events on the pitch. Three goals, three yellow cards, a lot of corners and hit into a crossbar for the hosts. In the second half, just goalpost and the crossbar once again to host and nothing more. It is interesting that in this stadium, there are four separate stands. One in the east and three in the west. The stadium was renovated three years ago, when it got its present form. Quite nice looking, the grass is excellent and there is also an electronic scoreboard, which is unfortunately still rare in Serbia.
Although the tickets is cheap, notice the people from the surrounding houses are using their terraces to watch the match, or at least part of it because I am sure they do not see every part of the pitch. 
Pictures from the previous visit to this stadium you can see here and here.
  

FK Proleter R. Selo

Say people that it is not easy to play in this village. Frankly it is hard enough to find a football pitch in it. The village is called Ravno Selo or in translation Flat village. Here has never been easy for either to play as a guest or to lead match for referees. FK Proleter is football club from this village and curently plays in lowest rank of competition in Serbian football, in league MFL Srbobran-Bečej-Vrbas. Club is founded in 1939 and not so long ago he played in higher leagues. The financial crisis has made his own and here, you can see the condition of the only stands, if you can call like this. It seems to me that is just waiting to crush on someone. Unbelievable! I hope that the people standing around when the match is playing.


 
 

 
 

FK Mladost N.S.

Very nice, sunny day in October. We pass by the car through Novi Sad and come to some football ground. You deliberately went there, my lovely wife exclaims. Yes, I answer. I had to. Just few shots and we continue. Ok, be quick.
FK Mladost is football club founded in 1972. Curently plays in GFL Novi Sad (city league), which is the six tier of Serbian football. Its stadium is located in Satelit neighborhood of Novi Sad. Nothing special. Dressing rooms behind one goal, a metal fence around the pitch and a very poor grass. Meadow. I with my sensitive joints, already after the first run, likely to end up in hospital with a gypsum at leg. Fortunately I do not play. Play some new kids. I found the fact that the club has fans who call themselves the Serbian coyotes. Probably the guys from surrounding buildings. I regret that I will not see them in action. Otherwise, I plan for the weekend again in Novi Sad to the match. I can not wait...

 
 
 


 

FK Fruškogorac

Probably I have already said that I visit stadiums whenever and wherever I can. So it happened that I was in a town Sremska Kamenica near Novi Sad for some other reason, but I could not skip the visit to the local stadium. The club that plays in this stadium is called Fruškogorac. Named after the mountain Fruška Gora that stands out in the plains of Vojvodina and he is just one of many clubs in this region with the same name. Club is founded in 1919 and curently plays in GFL Novi Sad (city league), which is the six tier of Serbian football. I have not found much information about this club, but however regret that I was not able to attend the match just because local fans. They have a fan group called the Stone knights, they are numerous and make real good atmosphere. The stadium is located on the bank of the Danube river. Not far from the city center but a bit inconvenient to get to it with car through narrow streets. Behind the club building is a concrete basketball court, and there are many places for parking by the building called the Dvor. The pitch is fenced while only stands is literally on the promenade. Very nice environment, but the human factor is very influential. It would not be bad that sometimes someone at least pick up trash around the stands. Anyway, a couple of shots and move on.

 
 
 
 
 

FK Spartak 0-4 FK Jagodina

01.10.2011.
Jelen Superliga - I
Gradski stadion, Subotica
att: 1500

When a man works five or six days a week does not remain to him very much time for hobbies and entertainment. I would not say that I do not like that I was again on this stadium, I visit him since childhood, but would prefer that I went to a some new. Anyway, I think so far I have not described entering the stands. After you pass through the stadium gate, coming on top of the west stand. Below you, practically in a hole, the green grass, sight for sore eyes. Fantastic view, especially when is the beautiful day like today. Admission was 250 rsd, which is about 2.50 euro, unlike the previous match when he was free. Beautiful practice of sharing programs for the game still continues. 


At the stadium, I arrived about half an hour before the start, as always do. Over loudspeakers was greeted by a song "It´s beautiful day..." from U2. Music continued with fans song, whose text reads "we live on the stand ...". It was really nice day, the temperature of twenty degrees in October. The sun is shining, everything is ready for the football spectacle. Already gathered a lot of people, the match is about to start.


But from the very beginning something was not good in the host team. Guests are more aggressive, wanting to win a point they retreated to his own half and wait for counterattacks. On the astonishment of the audience, the guests have already gave two goals after 26 minutes, and could have two more. Just the second half began, the hosts scores. An own goal. I think at that moment was definitely known who is the winner. Objective domestic audience at the end with applause greeted the winners. It was not liked the group of the most loyal fans and there have been some inappropriate cried. But in the end, about 1,500 people peacefully went their separate ways. 


I had yet to check when is the Spartak lost with such great difference. They are a solid team. I found a date of 21 April 2007. That day they lost by 1-7, in a season in which they were eliminated from the second division, in the darkest period in its history. After that only two times, in 2009, they lost by three goals difference. I hope that today was just a really bad day and nothing more.
