[World Football Club Crests @WorldClubCrests]

Thought I would go through football crests with buildings, part of buildings or other architectual structures within them.

Let's start with Everton and what looks like a true fairy tale castle. Rupert's tower. A disappointment compared to the crest.

I’d be slightly more concerned about the massive devil in United’s badge…

Abandon ship: does this symbol of slavery shame Manchester and its football clubs? https://t.co/JR8nBYC56W

[Alex Bysouth @alexbysouth]

Naples’ charmingly gritty and dizzyingly chaotic streets are decked in blue and white, every wall a nod to Diego Maradona and today’s stars.

A piece on why a first Scudetto in 33 years will mean so much to Napoli fans. Expect the mother of all parties ⚽️ https://t.co/GrdX49PfTE

@HoppersGuide @GatesheadFC @BarnetFC @IsuzuFATrophy Great atmosphere despite the openness of the ground. An actual roof would have been nice!

7 club badges that mean more than what meets the eye… 👀

A THREAD 👇

First up Hearts:
The name of the club and the crest itself derive from a pavement mosaic in central Edinburgh, the location of the cities old jail and execution site, it's history lives on through the badge!

@BenKentish @OVMTweets Wrexham are now the Man City of Non-League. League 1 players and budget. This is certainly no fairy tale story but I don’t blame the fans one bit, let them enjoy the ride.

[The Football Trimmings @tbf_updates]

@BarnetFC That was beautiful. Thank you lads 🐝

[The Football Trimmings @tbf_updates]

@adamsummerton Stadiums and clubs owning them. Most are in major need of investment and look shabby at best on TV.

Removing some of the ugly barriers would be a start (see pic from recent trip).

The greatest stand in the world. Fact.

[Stadium Photography @davethephoto]

No. 3 ...than I must do some work!

[The Football Trimmings @tbf_updates]

Could this be the new ‘cheap’ template for Italian sides with athletic tracks looking to upgrade?

Remove the running track, lower the pitch and create a new tier.

Grounds at Napoli, Verona, Roma/lazio & Lecce spring to mind.

[Football Factly @FootballFactly]

😱 River Plate has removed the athletics track from the Monumental and expanded its capacity to 84,000 people, becoming the largest stadium in South America 🔥

📸 This is an aerial view of the stadium during last weekend's Argentinian league match 🤯

Highbury | 1992

To cover up the work that was being done on the North Bank stand, Arsenal commissioned artist Mike Ibbison to paint a mural depicting an Arsenal crowd.

@adamsummerton @TheVanaramaNL Didn’t Runcorn get rejected multiple times to go up to the Football League?

[The Football Trimmings @tbf_updates]

@adamsummerton @TheVanaramaNL It wasn’t that long ago that nobody was given automatic promotion from the National League and it went down to a very shady vote in a boardroom. True story.
