I'll be surprised if anybody gets this, and feel free to post your own questions too.

There is only one stadium that complies with every single UEFA safety and security guideline. Where is it and who plays there ?

 

[Oncy]

ST Marys?

 

[Vanbasten84]

Tallaght stadium - shamrock rovers

 

[Rosco]

Incorrect.

I'll give you a clue, the club doesn't play in the Premiership, La Liga, the Bundesliga or Serie A

 

[Vanbasten84]

stadium mk = mk dons

 

[Vanbasten84]

what about that cska\russia stadium lusnicki

 

[Rosco]

no but you're getting closer to the right area

 

[Holle]

I think it has to be a relatively new one. Maybe one in Poland or Ukraine? Shaktar Donetsk?

 

[Rosco]

I think the stadium was built in the last 10 years

 

[Holle]

In the last 10 years? Allianz Arena in Munich springs to mind.

id say its one of those ex russian states alright !!european championnship ground 2012- Kiev?

 

[Rosco]

Not them, but you're in the right area Marco.

The team have played in the Europa League this year, and probably every year for the past decade too. They've never managed to get past the qualifying stages of the CL.

 

[livvy145]

Rhyl?

[doctor_mac]

Monaco?

 

[livvy145]

Clunje?

 

[The Slugmonster]

Shakhtar donesk or Levski Sofia?

 

[Rosco]

Nobody has it yet. I'll post up the answer in a couple of hours.

It's difficult to give any more clues without completely giving it away.

 

[Holle]

It has to be the Gazprom Arena of Zenit St Petersburg then.

Naw can't be, they've been in the Champions League...I'll go for Lokomotiv Plovdiv. I don't think they've been in it yet and they had some major investment in the last few years.

 

[Sheik Yerbouti]

Wisla Krakow

 

[Vanbasten84]

lech poznan

 

[Rosco]

The answer is FC Sheriff Tiraspol.

There's an interesting back story to the club, they are based in the capital of Transnistria which is a breakaway state from Moldova (unrecognised by the rest of the world). UEFA also don't recognise it as a country so the only way they can enter European competition is through the Moldovan league. It's the only incidence of the Transnistrian state acknowledging Moldovan rule.

So what's the interesting backstory?

 

[Rosco]

Russian Mafia, Gazprom etc etc all involved

 

[SaintGeorge67]

[Loch Ness Monster]

I was thinking the Attaturk. Never mind.
