Anyone got any nice information about him? Will play for Swedish "IK Frej" the upcoming season (which starts soon in Sweden) IK Frej sucks (divison 3), but experience anyway I guess
And yeah, source if someone wants to read about it http://www.aftonbladet.se/sportbladet/hockey/sverige/article8724554.ab (Cant find any in English) And the Swedish ranking system is Allsvenskan Superettan Division 1 So he will play in the third division ^^
I'd rather have sent him to the Blue Square Premier tbh. PS. You might have told us before, but how did you end up supporting City anyway Febbos?
I cant remember actually. It started in the beginning of the 2007-2008 season. I had only been following my team in Sweden before that, felt kinda boring. I operated one of Swedens largest betting blogs at the same time, so my knowledge about the Premier League/The Championship was over the top during that time. I could name most starting players in all teams in those two leagues. I some how got stuck with Hull, and look how that turned out I do know that Dean Windass influenced my choice, legend I have always like the underdogs, sickening to hear everyone talk about Man United, Real Madrid etc. I like Hull! I am operating this site instead of the blog right now (www.svenskafans.com/england/hull) (The poll is brand new, thats why its only 1 vote ) (Which recruitment are you most satisfied with?) And the BSP-teams are probably better than the teams in Swedish div 3
He probably saw the thread on here about Swedish birds and thought "I'm having me some of that" Gothenberg and Malmo didn't come in for him so he thought "Sod it. 3rd division will do me".
Haha, Frej is in Stockholm (I had to google it :/) The fifth picture when I googled "Täby" which is the municipality (hmm, that was hard to spell) http://imgs.sthlmsfinest.com/blogEntryImages/201939.jpg His choice was made instantly
Haha. Wtf, I took a look at "Frejs" website (which looks like ****) http://www.ikfrej.se/index.php?id=0,1738,0,0,1,0 They wish they could get Cairney, haha ^^ Amateurs
What are the attendances like in the Swedish 3rd tier? And the grounds? I know that the the Conference game between Oxford and Luton last season attracted nearly 11,000, and some of the teams are very well supported. As for the quality, you only had to watch Crawley's performance at Old Trafford.
No idea, 100-500 perhaps (IK Frej-standards) The grounds in those leagues are nothing fancy, normal grass pitches, with small stands, you can often just stand wherever you want around the pitch ^^ No one really cares about those leagues. The crowd numbers in the top league are between 3000-30000, so the difference is huge
Do any other English City fans imagine every ground in Sweden to be like Dene Park, with a few-hundred Sven-alikes huddled around the pitch with their wives the only thing hot enough to prevent hypothermia or pneumonia setting in?
But the atmosphere at the larger games is intense, specially during the derbys in Stockholm (Two fists) Thats like admiring Leeds (really hate AIK), but the tifo is top class. They are shouting "Come on you scum"....more or less Come on DjurgÃÂ¥rden
Febbos, what do your friends think about your City obsession? (Which, frankly, is quite unhealthy for someone who's 19, Swedish and has set foot on British soil just a couple of times, especially when you consider that City are a pretty average 2nd tier team and not the biggest club).
Im not obsessed They laugh at it, they are more or less all football supporters, Arsenal, United, Madrid, etc Im the odd one out with Hull
You should be! Real football fans support **** teams Febbos. They can stick their Total Football up their arses - get them to a City away game and they'll meet real football fans and watch a real football club. (Should you ever come back to Kingston-upon-Dull, of course)
I probably am But it doesnt affect my life in any negative way, haha. The word "obsessed" feels negative Oh well, im freaking tired now! GôNight
Sonny Bradley is a big central defender and looks like a decent prospect, it sounds like he might be their best player!
It is indeed Tom, but Sonny does look slightly similar(they're wrong in that article, about him moving into the first team next season, he's already listed in the first team squad and has been on the bench for us this season). This is Sonny: http://www.hullcityafc.net/page/ProfilesDetail/0,,10338~54715,00.html
I seem to remember reading somewhere that Vinnie Jones had a spell in Sweden at the start of his carrer. With there season starting soon he will return match fit and ready to go come August
