Grounds for concern
A couple of stories in today's Jakarta Globe caught my eye.
One suggests that Bung Karno Stadium is to undergo extensive renovations with a view to hosting major events during the 2011 SEA Games. Work is expected to begin later this year. I wonder where that will leave Persija for their home games? Perhaps back at Lebak Bulus?
The other story talks about a rebranded Copa Indonesia, now to be called Indonesia Cup. Instead of home and away the competition this year will be played in groups with the opening round spread across eight cities.
They are talking about Persipura being allowed to host one of the groups. I thought they had been banned from this season's cup competition after they got all prissy during last year's final and walked off, never to return?
