Szegedi Városi stadion

Szeged in Hungary. The largest stadium in the city. Városi stadion or city stadium. It is also known as Felső Tisza-parti stadion. The capacity of the stadium is around 15,000 spectators. Or had such a large capacity. In the present conditions I do not know where it can fit so many people.
When I was in Szeged, my intention was to look at two matches. One has already been archived on this blog, Szeged vs Cegled and the second or the first that day was supposed to be the first women's league match. Something I missed in the preparation and women's teams I've found on the second additional pitch. On the first additional pitch have played youth teams. So I turned to the main pitch of city stadium and photographed it. You may notice in the pictures as that day the sun came out and disappeared behind the clouds.
The first women's league match is behind the youth teams.
At this stadium and its grounds next to women's team Szegedi AK are playing Tisza Volán SC (3rd league) and FK 1899 Szeged (4th league). I hope I will succeed and get to some of their matches.
How to describe the stadium. The simplest are the two stands behind the goals. Both are in one piece. Similarly I can say for the east stand although she has a separate sectors. Why, I do not know. Behind the northern stand are additional fields that I mentioned. On this stand is something that should be a scoreboard. At least the old scoreboard. On the south is a new small digital scoreboard!? 
The west stand is the biggest. It has two small sectors to the north and south, for which I am not sure whether it is safe to use. In the middle of the west is a mixture of concrete, benches for seating and plastic seats. Exactly 173 plastic seats. And above the tunnel from which the players coming to the pitch, is I guess the part intended for press. 
How much is the stadium left to the ravages of time can be seen also per track for athletics. No doubt this was once an awesome stadium but his time has passed. Pity.

Szeged 2011 4-1 Ceglédi VSE

Ness Hungary NB II. Kelet - II
Szegedi Vasutas SE Stadion, Szeged
att: 1200
In the morning I decided to go to Hungary. I have not long been there. Somehow reason is always lack of time but this time I decided to be different. Still I remember my first game I watched in Hungary. That was back in 1990, I watched the Intertoto Cup match between the host Siófok and Bnei Yehuda from Israel. You guessed that I was there on vacation. 
Szeged is the third largest city of Hungary but it is also walkable city. It is located near the southern border with Serbia. He is also known for its university but he is also one of the centres of the food industry. If you are already there, do not eat hamburgers, try szekelygulyas!
Szeged is not famous for football, handball is much more successful, you probably heard about Pick Szeged. As for the football, Tisza Volan is for years in the third division but something has happened this year. Szeged 2011 founded in July, when Makói FC and Kiskundorozsmai ESK merged. 
Anyway, the match was exciting. This was the second league match, the eastern group. Admission was 500 or 1000 Ft which is about 2-4 euro. It was played in front of 1200 and according to some sources 1800 viewers, to me was a lot to count... During the first half cloudy weather, in second half the sun has warmed the host. After the first half guests are led by 1-0 even if their goalie is sent off, back in 27 minutes. Second half different story. The parade of goals. On general delight of home crowd who enthusiastically cheered at all time their team and not only the most loyal group of fans. The match ended 4-1!
Vasutas stadion or railway stadium, is a nice little facility and not far from the bus station. The stadium was built in 1937. Capacity is about 5,000 spectators. In the west is a huge covered stand on which are placed benches for seating in a red and blue color. At the entrance there is a small mobile trailer that serves as a buffet, whatever you want to drink they have all. Seems to me that the best is sell beer, because everyone holding cans of beer in their hands. For me something incomprehensible because in Serbia is not allowed to sell alcohol in the stadium and three kilometers around him during the game. On the eastern side is the hard standing. There are placed most dedicated fans who make a really good atmosphere during the whole game. Behind the goal on the north side is the scoreboard that are not used. On the opposite side is the club facilities and changing rooms. All in all a nicely stadium, but it is visible that has long since made.
