Pod Tumbe Kafe – stadium description

Located just at the basis of Baba mountain in 80,000-people town of Bitola, the ground became infamous in 1992 due to riots that broke out before Pelister-Vardar game that never took place as a result. Parts of the south stand were destroyed by fire and fences torn down. Some people began calling it “Stadium of Death” since then, despite there being no information of casualties.

Everyday use isn’t that dramatic, thankfully. Two stands of the ground that together hold 6,100 spectators are usually occupied in only a small part, with not even 1,000 people in attendance. South side, traditionally reserved for local fanatics Čkembari is sometimes closed due to no seats and low demand.
