Les Street has ‘eaten a whole butcher shop watching live sport’ at 123 stadiums and grassroots venues to find that the most simple fare is usually best
ometimes it’s the smell that serves as the introduction. The waft of cooking smoke enchants the visitor to their new surrounds. Meanwhile, the regular club supporter is reassured by the aroma with a sense of belonging that this place is genuinely home.
I guess you could say I’m an anorak. Yet, I don’t use Futbology nor am I active in the groundhopping scene. My only claim is having visited all 123 grounds to date used for NSL and A-League Men. It’s hard to quantify my consumption. It feels like I have eaten a whole butcher shop watching live sport.
Walking to a new facility sees a purposeful stride in my step, eager knowing local football is back. The match was a neutral fixture between Noble Park United, a Serbian team who play on a cricket oval, and Docklands Athletic, founded by Melbourne Victory fans from the North Terrace. Brisbane City flies the flag for the Italian clubs who usually play it safe, catenaccio-style, with a steak roll. A freshly cooked pizza and Peroni on the decking al fresco at Spencer Park is one of the great footballing pleasures in Australia. Souvlaki, another fan favourite, must be with pita and, if possible, ask for some chips inside. The best I recall was a pork souva at Findon Reserve, Mill Park.
