Steaua Bucharest (at a stretch Saints related)

[Monk]

Given majority of people are locked in and sick to death of having the same repetitive conversations with whoever they live with. 

Like many other men, I've spent a lot of time on Football Manager completing the River Danube challenge, when I stumbled across a familiar name CSA Steaua Burcharesti. For those not familiar, the Romanian team that dumped us out of the UEFA Cup back in the early 2000's. Anyhow in the last 5/6 years the club has moved stadium, changed it's logo and is now named FCSB... or so I thought. 

 

On FM I noticed a side languishing in the Romanian Second Division scrapping for their lives by the name of CSA Steaua Bucharesti with the familiar looking club logo. It turns out it's been a complete total fuck fest over the last 15 years and despite numerous videos and articles I'm only just familiarising myself with who is who and what happened. 

CSA Steaua currently play in the fourth tier and are due to move into a 95 million euro stadium in April 2021. 

 

Anyway, enjoy, bit of a time killer.

Oh man, what a shame.

That was a trip to end all trips back in the day.  Torrential rain, terrible stadium with people p****ng on the terraces due to lack of facilities but an unbelieveable experience.  Missed our flights home after spending too long in Sigishoara, had stuff stolen from the hotel room but wouldn't have missed it for the world.

At the time I seem to recall the majority of foodstuffs you could get in restaurants (pizza, pasta, almost anything!) was polenta and cabbage!

Their fans were mad but also very gracious!

Sounds like a normal game at Pompey.....apart from the fans being gracious. Oh, and swap "missed our flights home......"  for "Couldn't drive home 'cos someone had nicked the wheels off my car".
