Persitara on the move?
The inaugural Liga Super may still be some five months away but the clubs who successfully made the cut from the last season are scrambling to upgrade their facilities or they may be rejected.
One cuch club is Jakarta's second team, Persitara. Their Muara Kamal Stadium needs extensive refurbishment for it to be acceptable in the new league and, as ever, money is an issue. The Laskar Si Puting have been scrambling round looking for alternatives.
Tugu Stadium in North Jakarta would be ideal but the capacity is small. Another option in the capital would be Lebak Bulus should Persija be allowed to use Bung Karno though few seem to appreciate the irony of the team from North Jakarta playing in South Jakarta.
Another option would be the Krakatau Steel Stadium out in Cilegon, about three hours west of Jakarta where Persitara played their home games in 2006.
There is also talk of the team being bought by another city which is what happened to another Jakarta team once. Persijatim were brought by Palembang who renamed the club Sriwijaya and the rest as they say is history. Madiun, a couple of hours east of Solo, is one place rumoured to be interested in 'buying' themselves a piece of the Liga Super.
