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 With an occasional drop of rain, wind was retracted into the bones, as they say here.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.

What a day was! 20 minutes before the match, the sky has opened. Terrible rain, lightning, thunder and ice were falling, everything was flooded. This is the view from my car at the parking lot, a few meters in front of the stands.

And pitch?

With a some delay the match is still played. Host convincing, better team. All goals were scored in the second half. Nice stadium. I was already on it, and the images you may see here. On this match there were about 100 spectators, the rain prevented many to come, that's for sure. The daily, sports newspaper writes that there were 300 people. I really do not know from where that number to them? Anyway, below are pictures from the match. Scoreboard worked only half hour, likely because of moisture has stopped working.

Rain was guilty for deleting lines on the pitch. On half time a master had to reinforce them.

And why make such a large jerseys?
