MOLINON TOUR

Next friday, students of primary 6 will visit the Molinón Stadium.

The Molinón Stadium is the football pitch where Real Sporting de Gijón plays. The stadium is close to the city centre and can seat 30,000 spectators. It owes its name to the huge mill (molino) that was once located on the site. El Molinón is Spain’s oldest stadium, since there are records that as early as 1908, these grounds were used to stage football games. In addition to football, it has hosted huge concerts, with performances from stars like: Tina Turner, Bon Jovi, Dire Straits, The Rolling Stones, Bruce Springsteen, Paul McCartney and others.

Here is the famous hymn from Liverpool F.C: : "you´ll never walk alone"

When you walk through a storm
Hold your head up high
And don't be afraid of the dark

At the end of a storm
There's a golden sky
And the sweet silver song of a lark

Walk on through the wind
Walk on through the rain
Though your dreams be tossed and blown

Walk on, walk on
With hope in your heart
And you'll never walk alone

You'll never walk alone

Walk on, walk on
With hope in your heart
And you'll never walk alone

You'll never walk alone
