PSM - The Chosen Ones?
Newly promoted Persibo are struggling. They currently sit bottom of the Indonesia Super League with just two points from their opening six games. With their own stadium in Bojonegoro unfit for top flight football they have been forced to play their home games at the Brajiwijaya Stadium in Kediri, several hours away.
It hasn't given them much luck as they have drawn two and lost two at home and the fans have been staying away. A couple of thousand did travel down for a recent home game but mostly they haven't bothered making the trek to cheer their team.
Pelita Jaya started the season brightly and after one game were top of the table. Not anymore. After five games played they are 16th in the 18 team league and have lost every game since that thumping of Persiwa. Their last two 'home' games were played at Semarang and Solo and they naturally enough lost both.
On the other hand, PSM's narrow victory last night against Persisam was their first home game of the season. With their stadium in Makassar undergoing renovation their fixtures were juggled around and they started the season with four straight away games. Why weren't they forced to play any games at a different stadium like Persibo?
