SLAVIA PRAGUE

Interesting story coming out of Prague this week concerning Slavia's new stadium.

NEW SLAVIA STADIUM TO OPEN IN MAY
The official opening of Slavia Praha's new stadium in Prague
10-Vrsovice is due to take place at the beginning of May.

Alexandr Kliment of E Side Property, the company overseeing
construction, told reporters today that work on the ground is almost
complete, with nearly a third of the new Eden's 21,000 seats already
installed.

According to iDnes.cz and SportovniNoviny.
cz, Kliment also revealed
that Slavia's opening game in the new stadium is likely to be a
friendly against fifth-tier English side Oxford United.

[Slavia's first game against British opposition was against an Oxford
University team in 1899.]

Interesting in that reading Oxford United messageboards they don't seem to know anything about it! Anyway, searching around there are a few good pictures of Slavia stadia old and new at this link:
