Looks great on tv, but attending a match is a terrible experience
Giorgos Karaiskakis Stadium的点评
点评:Was in Athens to attend a Greece v Scotland football match that was played at the Giorgos Karaiskakis Stadium, and from games I have seen on tv, I was looking forward to visiting this stadium.
On the surface the stadium is great, good links to Monastiraki/Central Athens on the Metrol (probably a 15-20 minute ride) and a station right next to the ground, with loads of bar and catering facilities to be found.
Once you start to make your way into the stadium, the charm wares off fast......
Greek security are not used to away fans, and there were 2000 Scotland fans in attendance.
Firstly they were directing ALL Scotland fans into the away section (including fans with home end tickets) and this resulted in the away section being over packed (I showed up at my seat and there was people there who had tickets for the same seat, but in the home section next to the away section) with fans stading on the stairs as the game started (it was 10 minutes into the game before they opened a door to allow fans to flow into the empty section next to the away section).
At the final whistle, Scotland fans were told to wait 20 minutes before we could leave, but it was almost 1 hour before we got out the stadium.
Really disappointed with this, and back again in November for another Greece v Scotland game, and hope they have it sorted out by this time.
翻译:我到雅典观看了在 Giorgos Karaiskakis 体育场举行的希腊对阵苏格兰的足球比赛,从电视上看过的比赛来看,我很期待参观这个体育场。
从表面上看,这个体育场很棒,乘坐地铁(大概 15-20 分钟的车程)即可轻松抵达 Monastiraki/雅典市中心,而且体育场旁边就有车站,有很多酒吧和餐饮设施。
一旦你开始走进体育场,魅力很快就消失了......
希腊安保人员不习惯客队球迷,现场有 2000 名苏格兰球迷。
首先,他们把所有苏格兰球迷引导到客队区域(包括持有主场门票的球迷),导致客队区域人满为患(我来到我的座位,发现有人也持有相同座位的门票,但主场区域紧挨着客队区域),比赛开始时球迷们就站在楼梯上(比赛开始 10 分钟后,他们才打开一扇门,让球迷涌入客队区域旁边的空区域)。
终场哨声响起时,苏格兰球迷被告知要等 20 分钟才能离开,但我们花了将近 1 个小时才离开体育场。
对此真的很失望,11 月又回来观看另一场希腊对阵苏格兰的比赛,希望他们这次能解决这个问题。
