Behind closed doors
This weekend's Jakarta derby will be played behind closed doors. Persitara v Persija has been shifted to Bung Karno Stadium, from Persitara's usual Soemantro Brojonegoro for some reason...what's the point when no bugger can watch the game anyway?
Police are worried about the risk of crowd trouble between the two sets of supporters. Back in 2007 brawling marred the corresponding fixture. Earlier in the season the game, this time a Persija home game, was also played behind closed doors.
