Could this be the end for the Faro white elephant?

Post by martin »

remember how in this "poor" country, millions upon millions were spent on football stadiums like the white elephant one in Faro for the Euro 2004 soccer fest...all for 3 matches!!!

well now it seems they cost to much to keep, so someone has had the idea to knock em down :shock: :shock: :shock:

Surely its fabricated and sectional, couldn't they sell it on, maybe to Tranmere or similar, it's a fine little stadium :)
