"A Brussels Spring"

So many venues to choose from
May I recommend Jette
Plenty in this city to pick from
This will be a good bet.
Open on three sides
The other makes it a majestic ground
A stand and sweeping terrace
Going the rest of the way round.
Alluding to greater glories
Fading into the mists of time
Still a place to be proud of
In spite of the encroaching grime.
Although there was no programme
This is pure groundhopping delight
I couldn't have been happier
Falling in love at first sight.
If Carlsberg did non-league stadiums
This is what I think
Here's a random Belgian ground
That's worthy of their drink.

Dulwich Poet 27th March 2017

(On Sunday I went to a Brabant Provincial first division game, BX Brussels won 3-0, at the home of Jette, where they groundshare)
