TamU lost yesterday, but the stats show a decent performance. The result sent MyPa to the top of
the league, and kept TamU down in lower mid-table. They will almost certainly have to rely on
the cup to get into Europe this year, and they have a tough Quarter Final draw: FC Haka –
TP-47 FC Honka [.
Ilkka Mäkelä had hoped for 5-6,000, but in the end the attendance for Jari Litmanen's
return was 4,163. Seasoned football-watchers were unsurprised about that, given the history of
football in Lahti. One told me that "hardly anybody in Lahti supports FC Lahti. The real clubs
there are Kuusysi and Reipas.
Stuart Baxter said that the Israel game would be a dress rehearsal for the Germany match in
September, and he was pretty relieved that it went as well as it did. The high spot was Veli
Lampi's full debut, as the former TPS right back looked solid and put in some excellent crosses
including the [...]
FC Lahti have announced that the legendary #10, Jari Litmanen, is a new addition to their squad. He
has been training with the team for a few weeks now and it was quite natural that he decided to
bring this season to its conclusion playing for Lahti. "He has been training very well with
us, and [...]
RoPS built their convincing 4-0 win against KuPS on some excellent finishing at the offensive end.
Chileshe Chibwe netted twice to give RoPS a 2-0 lead and the job was finished by Mika Nurmela and
Juha Majava in the second half. Chibwe scored his first in the 6th with an excellent header and
bagged another [.
I read with interest the comments of Simon Corney (click here) and his dissatisfaction at the
average attendance for 2007/08 season was 5,327 (16% down) which has cost the club an estimated
£345,000 loss in revenue.
As a man with a young family it is difficult to justify a spend of £20 per match (and lets be
honest with peripheral spending on car parking, food etc.
Anyone who knows anyone who supports one of the top-4 teams in this country
will have undoubtedly heard time and time again just how frustrating it is not being able to get a
match ticket. You see, for plenty of Premier League clubs the demand far outweighs the supply, and
so they have to set up ridiculously complicated ‘supporter reward' schemes, where they
measure how ‘big' a fan you are and only allow you to buy tickets accordingly.
The biggest disappointment this year has been HJK Helsinki. They started with high hopes, big
signings, and a fluent attacking style, but things have fallen apart for them since the 3-2 win
over Inter that seemed to renew their title hopes back in August. Their strategy - big money
signings combined with the cream of [.
No, it's not over yet. The last game of round 13 will be played on Wednesday as TPS host VPS. (It
is quite interesting, by the way, that even though Veikkausliiga are trying to avoid scheduling
games on so many days, the completion of round 13 has taken five days). VPS are occupying the 8th
position in [.
KuPS - HJK 3-2 VPS - FC KooTeePee 1-1 MyPa - RoPS 1-0 FC Honka - TPS 2-2 TamU - FC Haka 1-1 FC
Inter - FC Lahti 1-0 IFK Mariehamn - FF Jaro CANCELLED Inter have signed a great deal with the
football gods. They won FC Lahti in front of over 8000 people willing to see Jari Litmanen in
action, [...]
