This ground never opened. The ground was never named, but the Town/ City it is located in will do. The ground became derelict in late April 1986.

Looks very difficult, any clues. I am guessing somewhere in Belgium or Germany. if no one guesses can you put the whole story up about the non opening etc.

I very much doubt anyone would get it to be honest.
The ground was built in a small Ukrainian town Pripyat, 3km from Chernobyl.
Obviously when the reactor exploded and Pripyat was evacuated, the area was to polluted with radiation for anyone to ever come back to live. The ground was meant to open on May day, 5 days after the explosion.
The ground was a purpose built communist multi-sports venue, but I believe a football team was going to move in, not sure on the name nor the grounds name.

Very interesting, mate. Just spent the past hour reading up on Pripyat and Chernobyl in a bit more detail.

Those trees seem to be thriving, despite the radioactivity. Unless they're giant broccoli....

The old pitch was taken up and new soil was laid after the disaster, so that patch of land isn't very radioactive at all.
