Sören Nilsson Lindner celebrated his eighth birthday with the class on the match between IFK Göteborg and Hammarby. Then they left ahead of time – Monday evening they were back at Gamla Ullevi.
The match between IFK Göteborg and Hammarby September 20 had a sad ending for many supporters . Many families chose to leave in advance. For an eight year old boy became the birthday is not the party which he had hoped for. At the end of the match was thrown Bengalis from Hammarby-heel on the gallery above. One of Bengal were thrown back and several supporters of IFK Göteborg and Hammarby masked itself.
– It was probably a combination of both Bengals were and that there were many masked. Overall it was a pretty intimidating atmosphere in there at the end. Then when we were on our way home and would cycle through the avenue we met a gang of masked that ran in our direction. Then you knew not whether they were blue and white, or from Hammarby but it does not matter, says Sören’s father, Lars Nilsson continues.
– It felt a bit like when Bush was here …
On Monday, much of the class back in the Gamla Ullevi invited by IFK Gothenburg club director, Martin Kurzwelly the tip.
– It’s terrible that there must be such scenes as it was then. However, I am glad that they wanted to come back and we will do everything we can to not feel that it is not safe on certain matches, says Kurzwelly.
Inside the Gamla Ullevi guided Kurzwelly around the kids and their parents, onto the field before the game and all eyes on the kids lit up when the blue and white players ran out to warm up.
– Check out what great it is? shouts one of the children.
– Wow, where is Alvbåge! shouts another.
However, hesitating a few of the parents to bring their children in some of the matches.
– I myself would, however, hesitate once or twice to go to the matches against AIK Hammarby, Djurgarden and some others.
How do you explain to your child what is happening? The Bengalis flying? That adults masquerading?
– It’s hard, really hard … I did that a little picture when I said that this happens almost only when teams from Stockholm here. When asked after my son myself if all that comes from Stockholm are stupid? So then I try to explain a little more, says Thomas.
Before the game the children were also hit Josefine van Ginhoven working with Young
– Now we think that we just cheer there, we boo do not, we do not swear and we throw no things.
For the kids, not the experience completely. Already on Friday we go again – on top of Comrade courtyard where IFK Gothenburg have invited children and their teachers, Therese Eriksson on a tour, watch a workout and talk to the players.
– It will be a fun experience and the kids right after a bit sorry for what had happened, but now they have talked how much any of this and it feels like it’s a joy about being here, says Therese.
Had it been up to the kids? Yes, when they had been in every game.
– We have had several families with children who heard of and there are more who experienced discomfort so they feel free to contact us. We want to tell you how we work with this and see what we can do. Going to football should be something fun – especially for children, said Kurzwelly.
