IIC Final Called Off
See what happens when you don't post for a few days?
Arema were of course due to play Persib in the Inter Island Cup Cup Final on Saturday in Sidoarjo. Then came a few mumblings about how the PSSI wanted to move the game to Kanjuruhab Stadium, home of said Arema, because apparently they had those revolving A boards.
Then at pretty much the last minute the game was called off because the Sidoarjo police would not permit the game to go ahead, siting security concerns. Sidoarjo is next to Surabaya and the Persebaya fans don't get on with Arema fans.
So there we have it. The final cancelled and sod the expense and inconvenience of anyone who wanted to catch the game.
The Indonesia Super League begins on Saturday and so far, no one has a scooby when the final will be played.
