I'm current on my travels again but I thought that I'd post today's ground visit on here.
This is the Stadion Ljudski Vrt in the northern Slovenian city of Maribor and is the home of 6 time Slovenian Champions NK Maribor. It's also currently the home to the Slovenian national team as one venue in Ljubljana is being renovated and a new stadium is being built.
I was also lucky enough to watch NK Maribor train on the pitch next to the stadium.
The Stadium holds 12,435 fans. There can't be many grounds with a capacity using the first five numbers. Not including 0.
First up a Mural outside the ground.
Followed by a couple of the training pitch.

What a beautiful little stadium and so representaive of small town/provincial European communities who take great pride in creating something unique, iconic and useful for their population who then take great civic pride in it in a way that the folk of Colchester, Shrewsbury or Morecambe could never dream of.
