Our Proving Grounds (12) AC Pavia

On a recent Italian jaunt I had the pleasure (?) of attending AC PAvia v Alessandria in the third tier of Italian football. Situated 30 minutes from Milan, the town was easy enough to reach, however the stadium was a 3 mile walk from the station with no buses running to the ground on matchdays. An 8EU taxi ride got us there 2 hours before kick off which turned out to be a complete waste of time as the stadium is in the middle of nowhere. A crowd of about 700 were treated to a 1-1 draw with both goals coming in the second half.
