Welcome to Udine, a fine city

[Mr Wolf]

Mates, I hope to see you numerous at Udine, a nice city in the North East of Italy, with many medioeval buildings: <a class="postlink" href="http://www.google.it/search?q=udine+foto&hl=it&client=safari&rls=en&prmd=ivnscm&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=OgE8TtquCYPzsga6yM0f&ved=0CB0QsAQ&biw=1531&bih=963;" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://www.google.it/search?q=udine+fot ... 1&bih=963;</a>

Udine is my favourite away trip in Italy for the British atmosphere that oozes from that place.

Unlike other Italian Serie A stadia, at Udine people are passionate but friendly, and away fans can wear their colours without any problem.
Never had problems with and gained many friends amongst the Udinese fans.

The stadium (Stadio Friuli) is a bit old now (it was built in 1980) but is still very nice and attractive, apart from the athletic-truck.

From inside the stadium you can enjoy the landscape of the mountains.

Udine is famous for the beatiful wines of Region Friuli Venezia Giulia, amongst the best in Italy.
Near the stadium there are a lot of "osterie" or "enoteche" (winery) where you can taste the beautiful wines of Friuli (Dalia, the closest to Stadium Friuli, about 5 minutes walk is my favourite).

My suggestion is obviously for a wine that is called Zero Tre that means. . . : 0-3 (yes!) :angel !

Would consider travelling to the away-game as well, if the game wasn't being played in midweek.
Wouldn't take longer than 90 minutes to Udine, from where I live.

Nice report Mr Wolf. Wish i was going!

 

[Mr Wolf]

Udine and the Stadio Friuli are (were?) the perfect place to stop on the way to Bad Walsterdorf (sigh!).

 

[Mr Wolf]

Udine was a nice place as usual, with decent fans, and good food and wine.
But the Arsenal support was not as massive and numberous as I would expect, there were a lot of empty seats.
Nevertheless, it was a great day out in a friendly atmnosphere, as usual.

I guess all who went ended up having a great time. Nice pis..

Yeah the Arsenal support looked thin, looked like a good time though and we could hear you singing Szesnesny's name.
