PIC: Lusitanos has room for 900!

|

1996Lusitanos will have to play their match against the Hammer in another stadium it has emerged.

Initially we believed you’d have to  be first in the “queue” if you are planning a trip to the first qualifying leg.

The club’s tiny stadium holds just 900 spectators in a picturesque area surrounded by the Andorran mountains but the ground does not meet Uefa standards.

The team are no mugs and have had European experience although let’s be fair, we should be expected to cruise through the first round.

Err shouldn’t we?

    Their last 4 european games they have scored once and conceded seventeen times if we should at least score ten!

    I heard that Andorran teams often play their home European legs in Spanish stadia, is there any truth in that?

      Well Wales played Andorra recently at one of their little grounds.Think it only held about 850.So i dont know if a game against us will be moved.Its fine,we can fit a few thousand on the sides of the mountains 😉
