Jurong East Stadium, Singapore
Way out west, if you can call 25 minutes on the SMRT way out anywhere this stadium is used by Albirex Niigata for their home games and they even have a small souvenir stand set up for home games.
Take the train to Chinese Garden and hey you can wander round the gardens themselves before making the 10 minute walk to the stadium
Part of the complex has a couple of fast food joints so be prepared for the sight of pizza delivery boys during the game dropping off their orders! Beer is also available making this perhaps one of the most user friendly stadiums in the country.
If only it weren't so far from anywhere!

Gong Badak has fallen down...
Gong Badak Stadium in Terengganu has collapsed. The stadium had been closed for renovations, it had only been open a year, but I guess now it needs more extensive repairs judging by these images.

TOT Thai Premier League
TOT will be playing their home games in Kanchanaburi this season, not Bangkok. The stadium is straight past the railway station. I guess any motorcycle taxi will know the way...
MBPJ Stadium, Pelating Jaya
Following in the footsteps of Belgian Pat last week I hit KL and took in the game between My Team and Kuala Muda at the MPBP Stadium in the industrial suburb of Pelating Jaya.Getting there is a pain in the arse by public transport. Take a train to Kelana Jaya then look for the dedicated Stadium bus. But getting back is even worse thanks to the ridiculous 8.45 pm kick offs Malaysia loves so much.
Anyway I saw a great game with Kuala Muda winning 4-3. Images from the game itself can be found here.

"The state government and the Sultan Mizan Zainal Abidin Stadium secretariat had been informed of the changes," he said here today.
Abdullah added that tickets for Super and Premier League matches, involving Terengganu and T-Team, would remain at RM20 and RM10 for covered and uncovered seats respectively.He added that on May 5, Terengganu are scheduled to face Negri Sembilan in a Super League match.

The next game
I have absolutely no idea when my next game is going to be. I had planned a trip south yesterday to take in PSMS v PKT at the Siliwangi Stadium in Bandung but they went and relocated to Palembang which is on another bloody island.
Next Saturday sees Pelita Jaya scheduled to host Persija at the Jalak Harupat Stadium in Soreang but...Soreang is bandit territory for the Jakarta side. It is right in the heart of Persib fan land and indeed to get there any travelling fans would have to pass Bandung. And that is unlikely.
Last season the game was played in Purnawarman Stadium, Purwakarta, also in Persib land and things got pretty bloody messy there, especially after the game.
I spoke yesterday with the Pelita Jaya coach who was preparing his side for their Singapore Cup tie against DPMM and he has no idea where the Persija game will be played.
I can't see Persija fans being allowed to travel, the hatred between them and Persib is just to great. If it goes ahead in Soreang then figure on the game being played behind closed doors.
Regarding an actual game it looks like my next one will be in Malaysia in about three weeks time. Watch this space!
