Pesita take to the road
Persita Tangerang start their second round of fixtures in the Indonesia Premier League with a home game against PSSB Bireuen tomorrow afternoon. But the game that sees 2nd top, Persita, take on 2nd bottom, will not be played at the usual Persita home of Benteng Stadium.
With security clearance not been given after several incidents in recent months around the Benteng Stadium, Persita's supporters, known as Laskar Benteng Viola (Purple Fort Army) will be forced to trek westwards to the Krakatau Stadium in Cilegon.
Victory could see Persita overtake Semen Padang to claim the leadership of the IPL for a while at least.
