This is the reality of the Veikkausliiga of Finland. Now when we kicked-off the season and pitches are green while sun is warming up the people and their happy faces we are facing a situation when there are no games left to watch.
Veikkausliiga takes a summer break.
There is always an excuse to do that and I admit this season is very exceptional with the EURO U21 in Sweden starting soon, but the another frequently used excuse I can not accept.
"We can not play in the summer because the audience-to-be is digging dirt at their summer cottages."
Wake up! Those people are not coming through the gates anyway. There is no need for 100 % attendace in the cities to fill the stadia if the game is entertaining and the conditions are on an acceptable level.
Knowing when the round is played would also be helpful.
WOMEN EURO 2009 in Finland is also making things more difficult for clubs in here because the pitches all all reserved to them, even before a single footballing woman lands at Helsinki-Vantaa Airport.
This leads to another problem;
where is my team playing this round, now that I have found out when the round is?
Everything is not down to marketing and managament, but a lot is. There is a lot of waking up to do.
For your information dear reader, may I introduce you the next round!
13.6. KuPS - MYPA at 16.00
14.6. Jaro - RoPS at 18.30
FC Lahti - IFK M:hamn at 19.00
