Canbt bvelieve that...surely your ground is where it is and the opposition should just have to deal with it..... Its not good for the health of fans having to run the gauntlet of certain away grounds that i have visited in recent years....

Remember playing school boy football up in Queensbury as a kid. It felt like the coldest place on earth when you were young.

Especially with the wind, rain, hail combination ricocheting off the legs!!

The ban affects teams in Peru, Ecuador, Venezuela, Colombia, Chile and Bolivia. The affected countries have been accused of using their high-altitude grounds to gain a competitive advantage - a claim they strongly deny./QUOTE]

what a crock of :poo: . when i think of 'world beaters' i always think of Peru, Ecuador, Venezuela, Colombia, Chile and Bolivia. ok FIFA, so long as you ban other countries spending absolute millions of the game in their country and having the ability to be home to the greatest leagues. surely that gives them an unfair advantage. i've never heard such a load of sht.

i think it may have summat to do with the politics of these countries too.
