I saw a Dinamo Moscow game way back in 1993. I remember that there was a metro station called 'Dinamo' right next to the stadium, and we bought tickets just before kick-off from a little kiosk beneath the stand. It was remarkably cheap to get in and the crowd was about 4,000 at most in a concrete bowl of a stadium that would have held at least 60,000. That said, it wasn't a Moscow derby, but a game against Yekaterinburg, a place about 1,000 milesto the east. When the away team scored I counted four people who jumped up to celebrate. I don't know if things are different now, but that's what it was like at the time. Tim W.

Or any listers with Russian knowledge? I'm on a short visit to Russia in early April, calling at St Petersburg and Moscow. We're in St Petersburg on Wed 10th & Thurs 11th April, and Moscow on Fri 12th to Sun 14th April. We wouldn't mind takin in a footy match. According to where you look, the following matches are on; Fri 12th (or Sat 13th) - Lokomotiv Moscow v Zenit St Petersburg (Lokomotiv Stadium) Fri 12th (or Sat 13th) - Spartak Moscow v Amkar Perm (Luzhniki Stadium) Sat 13th - Dinamo Moscow v CSKA Moscow (Arena Khimki) Anyone got any advice on attending any of these grounds/on how to buy tickets - or even how to find out the correct fixture dates?!! (I went to see Leeds at Locomotiv in '99 but can't really remember much due to too much vodka!) Also, any general advice/tips on (non-touristy) places to visit, especially traditional Russian bars/eateries? Thanks in advance, Tedski H . _______________________________________________ Leedslist mailing list Info and options: http://mailman.greennet.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/leedslist To unsubscribe, email [email protected] MARCHING ON TOGETHER _______________________________________________ Leedslist mailing list Info and options: http://mailman.greennet.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/leedslist To unsubscribe, email [email protected] MARCHING ON TOGETHER
