Sportin West Harelbeke - Forestiersstadion (Capacity 9,737)
Yes, that's right, capacity 9,737, and that is a proper 9,737, not a throw back to the time when even the Rec at Aldershot had a capacity of 20,000. This is the 5th tier of Belgian football, in the same regional league as Blankenberge.
It is no exaggeration to say that most of the clubs in League 2 and half of League 1 would jump at the opportunity to have a stadium like this.
Quite why it was built or whether the capacity is ever tested, I don't know, but if I find out it will be posted here!!
Would definately put this on the list.
Featured game SWH 2-0 Zwevegem Sport (25-3-11). Game memorable for possibly the most inept, incompetent and pathetic officiating performance I have ever witnessed from a referee and linesmen.
Update: Thanks to Stijn we can now show you what the stadium looks like full http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TdvLXIml4rw Although as the commentator says at the start, it was 70% blue and white of Genk.
