Nobody Posted April 13, 2018 Report Share Posted April 13, 2018 I can’t get by 20. KR Reykjavik would be one for K for me, if Killie isn’t allowed. Notts County in Anglo Scottish thought about Jobbyville as an accepted alternative name for Ayr and that was when I gave up 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The match was played in the Qemal Stafa stadium which, according to Wiki, was demolished in 2016 for construction of a new national stadium on the same site, due for completion in December this year. Visited that stadium while on holiday in Tirana about 13 years ago 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps Aberdeen wasn't a great example then. If you would include F.C.

Me, @Gaz of the 20/20 and @under5 are going to go and see the stadium. Think quite a few Killie fans are doing likewise. Was there in November last year, and still hopeful of making Scotland game there, if we don't get into Europe...the first 4 Scotland aways this year have rouked me! Remarked at the time I was there it would be a cracking place for a trip, an abundance of bars/clubs that seemed to be jumping every night! Dirt cheap and a bit chaotic (very similar to Georgia if you went to either trip there), just stay off the Rakija..it's lethal!! As Skygod said the national stadium where Killie played is a currently a building site, but only about 5-10 mins walk from the main square. Didn't see KF Tirana's current stadium when I was there but on maps it looks to be around the corner from where most of the bars are. If you need any info, drop me a PM 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then the St Pats Athletic (whose manager Brian Kerr became the Ireland manager some years later....) game, red hot in Dublin that summer.....1995. Brilliant! I was also at 2 pre-season friendlies in 2001 in Austria, we played Trabzonspor. So there's another 'T'. There were only two Killie fans at the game, me and a chap from work (as far as I know). Can't recall the name of the place we played. We also played Lask Linz at Bad Ischl, beautiful location for a game.

Pished inside the ground and the Gardai telling us where to go and get a carry out fir the match and the guys at the gate agreed to let us out. Back in sitting on the grass bank behind the goals.
