Over the last couple of years I’ve really enjoyed going to watch the “good” Suwon team, they have passionate fans, can generally spot a decent foreign player and embrace the concept that football and alcohol are indeed good bedfellows. Unfortunately since Seongnam made it to the K-League One there have been fixture clashes most weeks…
Anyang FC had played their opening K-League Two games of the 2019 season away from home to allow them to construct temporary stands around the running tracks and what better match to see them first hand than the visit of 2nd placed Busan I-Park. Anyang Stadium is best accessed by a 15~20 minute walk from…
When you’ve just spent 2 weeks in Thailand and are going thru a live football ‘cold turkey’ that would make most of Hollywood shudder then there are few better games to quench your needs than the visit of the 2019 Ulsan FC team. I’ve watched K-League for the best part (or worst depending on the…
Not only was this the first time that Seongnam had welcomed the Champions since June 2016 it would also be the Kim Shin-wook fanclub’s (@RevJChrist) final K-League match before heading home to challenges afresh. The visit of Jeonbuk was one I had been looking forward to for a while as they are truly truly the…
If there is one stadium in K-League that everyone needs to visit it is the Incheon Football Stadium. It’s as close to the pitch as a European stadium and what it lacks in atmosphere, depending on who is visiting I guess, it more than makes up for with it’s unobstructed views and the joy of…
With Seongnam being drawn away to the Army down in Sangju eyes were diverted elsewhere in the hope of finding an FA Cup fixture that was ‘work-friendly’. Both Suwon teams were awarded home draws and given my desire to limit the number of Bluewings victories I wish to watch in a year it was off…
Over the last few years Seongnam FC have had some spectacular advertising promotions for their games, the tagline for the visit of Pohang was a simple, but powerful ‘Remember’ as the club geared up to welcome The Steelers for the first time since they effectively relegated them back in 2016. Seongnam have not exactly had…
This week’s rice wine ramble almost never happened due to the efforts of an over-zealous security guard who insisted on a bag search that would have put the Secret Service to shame. Needless to say as he was gleefully pulling beers out of my bag I has hoping he would stop before locating the bottle…
If there’s one thing Seongnam fans missed most as they were making their way from Anyang to Asan in the K2 it was the sight of their biggest rivals, Bluewings, across the pitch from them. Thankfully the K-League Gods had decided not to make them wait too long for the opportunity to lock horns both…
Next up for a ramble it was a jaunt down the Bundang Line to the Seongnam Sports Complex for it’s first competitive match in almost 10yrs. It wasn’t the first time I’d been to the grand old home of Seongnam FC as it was most recently used for their Reserve League matches but this was…
