Dortmund’s stars “stole” Odds balls – had by bright on Twitter – Aftenposten

Only tonight’s match ball was left on Skagerrak Arena after the big German team had helped themselves.

Odd welcomes Borussia Dortmund to the first of two qualifying matches for the Europa League on Skagerrak Arena in Skien tonight.

But when Telemark county arrived at work this morning, it was empty of balls. Only tonight one match point was left. The rest was sopping away.

They had in fact Germans brought with him on his morning session. So we had the odd resort to Twitter to get in touch with Germans.

– I had not got it with me, I. But I saw twitter message, says Odd-dirktør Håndlykken and chuckles.

– It’s probably just a misunderstanding, he adds.

Brand new balls

Day-Eilev Fagermo Men have new footballs from its equipment supplier Warrior and New Balance-balls being used in combat for the first time in tonight’s settlement. Whether it was therefore Dortmund had captured the most is that nobody in Odd knows.

– I think they bring their own balls too. But they have probably just taken off our balls on his workout today. And I’m absolutely sure they are delivered back on time, says Håndlykken.

Apart from the balls, it controlled the rest before the game. It is expected full living, meaning 12,300 spectators.

Server 4 million. As the match

That means fantastic atmosphere and great experiences for all who love Odd. And not least a very good financial contributions, says Odd director told Aftenposten.

– What does a full stadium in monetary terms?

– Approximately four million kroner.

The doors on the Skagerrak Arena opens two hours before the start of the game.
