Couple of reports that the Lithuanian FA are looking to get the stadium in Kaunas up to scratch for international football in time for the WC qualifiers..... But the Lithuanian guy I spoke with said they have been getting stories like this for the last 10 years and never gets off the ground.

Kaunas (the city) really got its act to when I was last there compared to my previous visit, but plan to do Vilnius this time.

fancy that, kanous was a concrete jungle and seen a few punch ups from the local skin heads.

The police weren't long in locking them up though. :ok:

Gosh, I think you paint a much worse picture of Kaunas than it actually is. I've spent many a braw occasion there and think it's a lovely city. I'll admit that I also prefer Vilnius, but there's not that much between the two. Having said that, I dont have a preference for where the game is played. My in laws live in Jonava, not too far from Kaunas and the wife still has a flat in Vilnius so either is good for me.

2003 put me off Lithuania completely, and for the game in 2010 I was really against going back (going via Berlin was more of a reason for going).... Yet within 1 hour of being in Kaunas I was starting to wonder if it was the same city I was visiting from one I was at in 2003 (i have absolutely no memory of the old town in 2003, yet thought it was as good as anything Riga and Tallinn has to offer in 2010).

Kaunas is a complete shithole populated by scumbags. By far the worst place I've ever been following Scotland.

We got the busses that were organised back from Vilinus to Kanaus.

Not overly fussed about going. Is it true that their stadium holds something like 9,000?

Ballot for 9 pointers?

Just over 5,000 I think......

Talk LFF are looking to get Kaunas into shape for international football (there was a press report saying they hope to have the stadium ready for when Us and England pull up into town).... Lithuanian journalist on Twitter I spoke with said to not bother holding my breath for it to happen
