UEFA Europa League - Fenerbahce S.K.

Fenerbahce installed the obligatory box nets in the mid 90's and they didn't do things by half.

Eschewing a history of skinny goal nets, they hung huge tents at either end of their Sukru Saracoglu stadium, the enormity of which hadn't been since this side of Mexico '86.




Prior to their rush to homogeneity, Fenerbahce preferred to hang their usually skinny nets from Continental D's...



Though there was one season in the late 80's when the Canaries went all Eredivisie and installed a sensational set of A-frames.

UEFA Europa League - SS Lazio

SS Lazio and Rome's Stadio Olimpico have a colourful History of Goal Nets.

At the time of the King of the Bidoni and "This is Rome, right, but where's Lazio," it was all about box nets that billowed like tents.




A generation earlier, huge Iron Man stanchions somehow fixed to the pink of the running track framed nets that never strayed off the edge of the field.




A decade earlier, Olimpico was home to skinny A-frames that wouldn't have looked out of place in the Total Goalnets era of the Eredivisie.



You can get a better look at these A-frames in this Roma clip from the mid-sixties.
