FC Haje; Prague, Czech Republic

FC Haje are in the top flight of the Prague leagues, which is the fifth divisional level in the Czech pyramid.

A two pitch ground, one grass, one all-weather. As with a number of local Prague sides who have both, they seem to use the all-weather one, even when the naturally surfaced one is perfectly playable.

Despite the sign from the main road, I still managed to miss the ground, and had to double back!

It says TJ Haje, as does the badge on the side of the buildings, but the website calls them FC Haje.



As you can see here.



By the main buildings is the grass pitch. There are a couple of steps, with overhang above, in front of it.



Past that is a verandah in front of the bar/restaurant.



Here is the club name on the side.



It's railed off down this side, with some steep grass banking behind the goal.



The banks start along the side, once we are past the buildings.



From up here it's a long way down!



There are a couple of benches in the corner, which have clearly been there for many years, as a tree is now growing in front of one! From here we can see across to the adjacent all-weather pitch.



A similar angle, but here we concentrate on the grass pitch.



Looking back down the main side we see how the banking slopes down to the main building.



From up behind the goal we look over both pitches. Note some sort of stand beyond the other pitch.



Here we look at the corner of the grass banking, which we've just walked round.



And further along we glance downwards once more.



Now down pitchside, we are at the dugouts, with the all-weather surface beyond.



Now at the all-weather surface, there is some hard standing on this dug out side.



We're now the other side of the all-weather pitch.



This is the local handball club, with their own wooden stand, behind the goal on the all-weather pitch.



As we move along here is another angle of the HC Haje stand.



Towards the corner of the all-weather pitch we look back to the dug outs, and the strip of hard standing, with the grass pitch in the background.



Now we're back down to the lower end of the grass pitch, with the locked entrance to the handball court behind.



From behind this goal we look over to the club buildings.



Behind this goal it's flat, railed off, hard standing.



With another shot of this end, from the side.



And finally back round to the part of the ground where we started our tour.

SK Hostivar; Prague, Czech Republic

SK Hostivar are in the third division level of the Prague leagues, which is on the seventh rung of the Czech pyramid.
This was a very basic ground, with the benches in the local hockey ground next to it actually being of more interest.

This is the entrance to the bar, which is along the side, and the buildings run down the length of the pitch.



It's railed off all the way down, this is from the far corner, where some new buildings are currently being constructed.



Going back a little, this is the way into the changing rooms, from the pitch.



Back at the far end, where we came in, there's a bit of grass banking, for raised viewing, and it's railed off.



Down the far side it's completely open, with just the dugouts.



Here we are, back at the other end. Railed off with the hockey club to our immediate left.



This is the sign for HC Hostivar.



And here is their bleacher style seating, which backs onto the football pitch.



From here we look over to the hockey dugouts and scoreboard.



The same structure, but from the other side.



Back in the football ground, the other side of goal.



With a scoreboard in the corner.

SK Dolni Mecholupy; Prague,Czech Republic

Dolni Mecholupy are in one of the second divisions of the Prague area league; which is the sixth level of the Czech footballing pyramid.

This was a ground that reeked of decay, but intertwined with a 'tdiy pride' about the place, if that's not a contradiction!

It was signposted from the main road.



This is the start of the club buildings behind the goal.



Here is the full view of the changing room and bar buildings.



You can see a scoreboard up on the building, above the changing rooms.



From behind the goal we look down the railed off far side, where the dugouts are.



Just railed off, no hard standing here.



From this side we look back to the buildings.



Here we are at the dugouts, on the halfway line.



Past the second dugout it is railed off once more.



As it is behind the far goal.



Though it is a bit more overgrown.



From behind the goal we see a small stand along the side.



There are also a few benches behind the railings.



But when we reach the stand...my goodness! How run down is that?



But the graffiti is club orientated at least!



This is the view from inside it towards the main end.



Down the rest of this side it is railed off, with a few more benches.



From the corner where we came into the ground, it doesn't look so bad from a distance!

SK Viktoria Sterboholy; Prague, Czech Republic

Viktoria Sterboholy play in one of the third divisions of the Prague area league; which is the seventh level of the Czech pyramid.

It's avery basic set up, consisting of two pitches, one grass & the other an all-weather surface.



Just outside the entrance is the club bar.



This is the grass pitch, the buildings have this overhang, with a couple of benches underneath. The closest we get to a stand!



All down this side is the smart small brick hard standing, behing the railing, with benches spread out along this side.



Here we are at the corner. There is nothing behind either goal.



The dugouts are down the other side.



Narrow hard standing, behind a rail. you can see the fenced in all-weather pitch behind, up above.



Here we look down the grass pitch, dugout side.



A similar shot, but a bit higher up.



In this corner these steps lead up to the second pitch.



It is only railed off, and has some hard standing, down the dugout side.



Here is a look directly down this side.



And finally across this pitch, nothing at all on the other sides.

TJ Sokol Dolni Pocernice; Prague, Czech Republic

Sokol Dolni Pocernice play in the second division level of the Prague leagues, which is the sixth level of the Czech pyramid.

This ground was a pleasant surprise, it has two pitches, but both were grass. and both had half decent spectator facilities.



This is the main club buildings, from out on the road. They look very new, though not being a builder myself I am not sure if it a new construction, or a renovation.



Here we see the building from inside. The actual entrance is just past the building, but I entered the ground through a gap in the dnece here, left open as there is buidling work going on in the tennis club next door.



Rather than head up to the main building we are going to head round the other way, in an anti-clockwise direction. Behind this goal it is railed off, but you clearly can't stand behind it, due to the proximity of the tennis club.



From behind the goal we look acorss to the main building, which we can see has a balcony along it.



Down this side we see the dugouts, and some sort of terracing behind them.



Here is a close up of one of the dugouts.



A nice stretch of shallow terracing, with a row of old benches at the back.



At the halfway line we look directly across the pitch.



Now behind the goal, we see there is hard standing which is behind both goals! Rather than go down here, we are going to continue straight along.



We now look over the second pitch, where we can see some sort of covered stand on the far side.



But down the side we're on it's hard standing and railed off, heading towards the dugouts.



Though there are also a few benches.



This is one of the dugouts.



It's open at the far end, not even railed off, with a rough training area behind it.



From this goal we look over to the covered stand.



down the side it's railed off again, with a path, that turns behind the stand.



It's rather run down, but at least it's still standing!



Just! some of the back panels have gone, and there's only the odd old bench in it.



With one or two more dumped at the other end.



Beyond the stand is more hard standing and railings.



Now we're back to the 'double end'.



And headed towards the main building at last.



In front of it is another row of benching, similar to those on the far side of this, I would guess, the main pitch.



This is the view across the pitch, from up on the first floor level balcony.



You can see how recent the work on the building is, as there are still workmen at the far end! That is the end where we started our tour from.



In the other direction we see over to the second pitch, to conclude our non-matchday visit here.

Rapid Malesice; Prague, CzechRepublic

Rapid Malesice compete in one of the third divisions of the regional Prague leagues, which is the seventh level of the Czech pyramid.

I liked this ground, even though I didn't bother walking round it. It had a cracking grass bank, which I could happily laze about on, watching a game on a future visit, if it were ever warm enough!



This is the ticket booth, from the street.



The ground itself is down these steps.



At the bottom of them are the club buildings, on our left.



Past that is a childrens' play area, with an outdoor sports court behind, as you can see.



Now we are at the pitch. It's a basic railed off one, here you can see the grass bank I mentioned, down one side.



It is partially railed off behind this near goal, and down both touchlines. You can see the far side, with the dugouts, where I never ventured.



Here we are up on the middle of the grass bank, behind the trees is a dirt track, which is the car park, of sorts.



From up here we look over to the dugouts.



Moving to the far end the far goal is not even railed off.



Retracing our steps along the banking, we see the sport court, and how much, or little, of behind the goal is railed off.



Here we look across this goal from the side.



My favourite view of the grass banking, before it's time to go.
