– It is completely irrelevant for us to let the players out in this field, says head coach and team leader Odd Krister Føllesdal to Bergensavisen.
The Åsane players are said to have responded with laughter and shaking their heads after making a few passes on the field.
– We cannot play on this field, says Eirik Wollen Steen to BA.
– Cursed and sorry
– It does not work
They did try to play though, even though Åsane wants the game to move.
– We can’t play on this court. It does not work. We want to move the party, says Føllesdal.
Wolverine, on the other hand, was ready for battle.
– The judges have said that it will be a match, and we are ready as we are. It’s grass, December 10, and rain, so we can tolerate the fact that it’s mild, Jerv general manager Trond Christoffersen told Eurosport.
However, the track conditions proved to be too demanding.
This is the judge everyone talks about
South Arena an alternative
According to BA, there are several options where the game can be played, but here there are also problems with a lot of water.
FVN reports that Start’s home stadium, Sør Arena, may be relevant. Start confirms that they have been contacted.
– We try to make the football association, referees, delegates and Jerv understand that the purpose of having the reserve sand is that it should be used if the field is not good enough to guarantee the health of the players. We hope that the game will move to the reserve arena that Jerv has indicated in advance, as everyone does in these times. If the referee says that the match will take place in Levermyr, then there will only be one team on the field. No matter what the consequences are for us, says Gorm Natlandsmyr in Åsane according to TV 2.
It is an important battle that has already been postponed. Jerv is ranked 12th in the Obos league and struggles to avoid relegation, while Åsane is number five and can secure qualification for the Elite Series with points.
