    He’s already working on upsetting the Brazilians- wearing another teams shirt is banned and he’s going to turn up in a Charlton shirt - not that they would have a clue who we are <laugh>

    :emoticon-0157-sun: Saturday 22nd April 2023 Serie A (Top Division) :emoticon-0157-sun:

    Cuiaba 1-1 Bragantino

    IMG-20230423-WA0000.jpg IMG-20230423-WA0002.jpg IMG-20230423-WA0003.jpg IMG-20230423-WA0004.jpg IMG-20230423-WA0005.jpg

    Bragantino are from Sao Paulo if I understand correctly, which is a two hour flight away.
    So respect to the 50 away fans who made it to the game <applause>

    :1980_boogie_down: Attendance - 9,267
    :police: Admission - £5 (full price)
    :emoticon-0167-beer: Beverages - unknown
    :emoticon-0126-nerd: Programme - not available (maybe they don't do them over there?)
    :emoticon-0171-star: Badge - none <wah>

    That is a nice looking ground. Let me know if I've got the wrong end of the stick with any of these details Elfs <ok>
    £5 to watch a top flight game of footy :emoticon-0132-envy:

    :emoticon-0137-clapp:emoticon-0137-clapp:emoticon-0137-clapp Sir @lardiman as always.
    This ground was built for the 2014 World Cup and is very much similar to the ground in SE16 but twice the size.
    Cuiabá are a similar club to MK Dons in that they were formed in 2001 and I have been told most of their fans follow the big clubs like Palmeiras, Vasco da Gama, Flamengo and Corinthians.
    The pricing structure for Cuiabá depends on the game. On this game it ranged from £5 to £25 which is crazy, x5 a difference in certain parts of the ground.
    Programmes are not produced, fake shirts are wholesale, not seen a Charlton one yet. :emoticon-0167-beer:is served and you can watch the game at the same time:emoticon-0165-muscl.
    The diving and time wasting here is incredible and very disappointing.

    It was sunnier than the pictures suggest, as for the heat<yikes>.
    Entrance fee was the same as watching Cuiabá who are in serie A, very strange.
    This level was Isthmian standard, but with all Brazilian football unbelievable cheating and theatrics.
    Many <applause>for our leader's time for putting this on.
