A HOME FROM HOME (2)
Last week we looked at a few players who have played home games for the same side at several grounds, with Shamrock Rovers' Derek Treacy topping the list with six different venues. Dale Farrington, though, has been in touch with details of several players to have played at seven home grounds for Thailand's Chonburi FC:

"There are a number of players – including Sinthaweechai Hathairatanakool, Pipob On-Mo, Suree Sukha and Ekaphan Inthasen – who have played competitive games at seven different home grounds whilst with Chonburi FC," he begins.

"In 2006 and 2007 the club used the Chonburi Municipal Stadium before moving to the Princess Srindhorn Stadium midway through the 2008 season. We relocated again in 2010, when we played at the Chonburi Sports College Stadium (IPE). At the beginning of this year, the Sharks moved to another new ground called simply The Chonburi Stadium.

"The team has also used the Supachalasai Stadium and Rajamangala Stadium – both in Bangkok – for AFC Champions League and AFC Cup home matches.

"In 2009 a Thai Premier League match against Muang Thong United was moved to Nong Prue Stadium near Pattaya as our own pitch was waterlogged. Also in 2009, the TPL ordered us to play our final league fixture at Supachalasai, following crowd trouble at the previous home game."
