Support were warned

MFF had warned their fans before the trip to Lviv.

– I wrote a few are supporting you yesterday that you would take it easy. Then we went out with the supporter information today and then I put out twitter later in the day that you should take it slow and think about when you are here. One should think about where to go somewhere, do not walk around with too much MFF clothes and go in a group, says Nordberg.

What do you do now?

– We have tried to contact the Embassy in Kiev, but they apparently have no duty activity. Since we can not do much more for the Ukrainian police have not wanted to have our supporters Police here. We have to have an invitation to have them in place.

500 MFF supporters will be in place at the match tomorrow. A hundred came today.

Are you worried about what will happen tomorrow?
