This week’s #FloodlightFriday story is quite an escapade. Issue 22 from 1996 had 60 pages for the bargain price of £1 and included some quite stunning photos of none other than Red Star Belgrade’s ground and (just about) floodlights.

It is a heartwarming tale of another of the firsts in our correspondent’s life. Just be grateful she chose not to share the others. Yes, she..celeb spotting (Chick Young ABSOLUTELY counts) all day drinking, disgusting hotels, encounters with rival fan groups, it’s all there.

It is page 2 before we get our first shot of the floodlights, well, the pylon of one of them anyway but what the hell, we get drunken scarf swapping leading to being back in possession of a Hearts scarf, funny eyebrows and a lack of segregation from the players that just wouldn’t happen today, all topped off with free plane booze.

I swear blind that the floodlights MUST be in this aerial picture of the ground possibly taken from the plane on the way home it is so bad. God knows who was sober enough to drive home back in Edinburgh, probably best not to think about it.

Proof that the ground does have floodlights comes from this photo of a sparsely populated Rajko Mitić Stadium also known rather optimistically as the Marakana. Wiki tells me that digging the grounds foundations (deep under the existing street level to save rebar costs) threatened to trigger a landslide of the houses surrounding the site.
