Young Boys' Wankdorf erection woe


BERNE, Switzerland, June 26 (Reuters) - Young Boys have been forced to
play a UEFA Cup qualifier with Finnish side MyPa away from their Neufeld
home after European soccer's governing body UEFA refused to allow temporary seating.

Young Boys, who host MyPa in the second leg on August 28, said on
Thursday UEFA has not granted either their request to allow supporters to
stand or for makeshift stands to be erected at the 6,800-capacity Neufeld
stadium.

The Neufeld is being used as an temporary home while Young Boys' new
Wankdorf stadium, which will become the Swiss national team's home, is built following the demolition of their previous home.

[What?]

Now who wants to play away at the Wankdorf stadium?

I recall a tie Arsenal played in Italy a few years back, apparently SEGA (their then sponsors) is loosley translated as WANK. Imagine how much Seaman cringed!!!!!!
They actually asked SEGA if they could drop the sponsor that night, and SEGA, quite rightly, said 'No'
They did win, but the crowd were very amused with their shirt sponsors, and apparantley, the opposing side didn't want to swap jerseys either!!

[What?]

I remember that. Im also pretty sure that a 3rd division side agreed a sponsorship deel with tampax in the 80's, but the players were so outraged, it had to be binned.

Perhaps Mick of HJH (see other forum) should move there?
