    My Grandad trained with Third Lanark as a teenager & played games at youth level but his Dad passed away so he had to give up on playing football to go and support the family. We never got the chance to take him back to Cathkin Park before he passed but I’ve been myself and it’s really emotional imagining the thousands in the terraces.

    Where's Doel? Doel is a small town in the city of Beveren. They used to have a small club named FC Scheldezonen Doel. Doel is located close to the port of Antwerp (2nd biggest port of Europe). In 1998 the Port of Antwerp wanted to expand so all the people who lived in the town would get to sell their house to the state for the price where they bought it for. Nearly everybody moved out of the town, except for a few people. To this day 18 people still live in Doel. It's one of the worst places to live in Belgium because a few miles from the town is a nuclear power plant named after the ghost town. In 2016 "New Saeftinghe FC" a club of 22 friends were forced to leave their field.

    You forgot "Plovdiv Stadium" in Bulgaria. It used to be the largest stadium in the country with around 55 000 capacity, hosting matches of the local team Botev against Barcelona and Bayern, as well as a huge Metallica concert, but has been in disrepair since the 1990s due to numerous reasons.

    Wageningse Berg in Wageningen, the Netherlands. Opened it's doors in 1899, but the first team playing in it was WVV Wageningen in 1911. WVV played in the 2nd tier of Dutch football after the introduction of it in 1956. It remained their ground up until 1978, when WVV's first team became FC Wageningen. They played Eredivisie football for 2 seasons, both of which they finished bottom of the league. They do hold the record for PSV's biggest ever home defeat, smashing them 6-1.
    FC Wageningen went bankrupt in 1992 after both the local authorities and the Dutch FA refused to cooperate with their plans. At that time Wageningen was a comfortable mid-table team in the 2nd tier.
    It's not allowed to tear the stadium apart, because it was build on a protected nature reserve. Now and then the University of Wageningen uses the ground to welcome new student, so I guess it's not completely abandoned, however they do nothing to stop the ground from rotting away.

    Number 1 is from my hometown. I rember as a kid, that 40 000+ fans on league games. It is very sad story and even if the movement between football fans to return back to this stadium is very strong the chances are almost none. Also the once quite good club Zbrojovka that was playing there is now playing only second division.

    One interesting of an abandoned stadium is a Portuguese club called Salgueiros. They used to be a big club in Portugal many decades ago, and had since dropped off. A couple of years ago when they were doing the subway system in the city of Porto, they wanted it to go right under the stadium but the club couldn’t continue playing in that ground if that were the case. The city bought their ground and built the metro and there is even a stop with the name of the club exactly where the stadium is. Some stands were taking down, but it’s still there. The interesting part is that the new ground was never built because the owners ran away with the money. The club even stopped existing for a bit. They’re back now playing on loaned grounds and focus mainly on their academies

    There's also a Stadium in the netherlands that is technically abandoned, called "De Wageningse Berg" which was home to FC Wageningen, a former Eredivisie team, they last played in 1992. Their amateur branch is still active as WVV Wageningen, where I played for 18 years.

    Tivoli - Aachen. It is besides the new Tivoli but there is an residential area now. The intersting thing about it is that the stairs that lead to the south stand is still walkable and the south stand is still noticeable. The old Tivoli was known as the stadium with the best atmosphere in germany. just 22.000 capacity but everyone who had the play there knows that this Stadium was actually a hell for away teams. If you want proof look for the video Aachen - Bayern DFB Pokal 2006/07 ... Bayern never won a cup game in the old Tivoli. It is quite impressive.

      Providence Park (old civic stadium) was built in 1926 and until the Timbers were awarded an MLS franchise and it was refurbished it used to be an utter craphole. I've worked on two different refurbishments at different times over the past 25 years and while doing foundation work, we discovered human remains that had been buried for at least 50 years. Also some of the biggest rats outside of NY City, size of small dogs (Beagle or Terrier size) and absolutely unafraid of humans. A co-worker whacked one with a shovel and it ran up the handle and bit him in the face, true story. Great iconic small stadium now, very reminiscent of the great old small European football stadiums (except for the damn field turf). Even though it's the latest generation of field turf it's still artificial, there's no reason that a hybrid pitch like the one's used in England couldn't be installed.
