The Slovaks give up the capital for the Czechs. And the fans are revolting

“We’ll bring your food, your music. You will be there at home, “the organizers said in a humorous shot.

For an unusual maneuver, Danny and the head of the IIHF International Federation, René Fasel, praised the Slovak organizers of the next World Cup for Tuesday’s press conference boasting the same plan, made it more embarrassing. Even the mayor of Bratislava, Ivo Nesrovnal at the official event, even with a smile, said: “As Bratislava I would rather have Slovakia play in Bratislava.”

But it will not.The organizers took advantage of their rights and transferred the home team from the “Bratislava” group B to Košice. “In Bratislava, our neighbors will play in the Czech Republic and Austria,” said the head of the Slovak ice hockey association, Martin Kohút.

It is expected that Czech fans will be the ten thousand-plus stadium, where they are in favor of Slovan Bratislava in KHL as in the championship seven years ago. Moving the Slovaks to the east will increase the interest in the basketball part of the tournament.

“We want to achieve better results and more traffic than in 2011. It would take long to explain numbers and analyzes, we can not just talk about emotions,” Kohut said. have long moved Slovakia.He also informed Dicek Sport about the plans of the ice hockey bosses during the Danish championship.

“We will leave the arena in Bratislava to the Czechs and will go to 1,800 seats smaller? In a similarly small hall, the home team did not play in the new millennium, “journalist Tomáš Prokop warned on Twitter. “Czechs steal us from Bratislava,” subtitles appeared on Slovak hockey portals.

This is why the union representatives and Košice convincingly depicted how the presence of Slovak representatives will also help the city and the infrastructure. Direct air services with Munich and Düsseldorf will be created.The hockey should be the whole country.

But tell those fervent fans who wished to have a favorite in the largest and most modern arena in the country.

The road between Bratislava and Košice – just after quality roads – takes four and a half hours. In the east of Slovakia, Canada did not want to lobby for an “international move” in a more comfortable and accessible Bratislava.

“I do not suppose she would,” Kohut conceived. He was right. It is his character that raises further doubts.The local journalists speculate that it is because of the head of the union coming from Kosice that the audience will see their home representation in the Steel Arena. “I believe that Slovakia will play in both cities,” said Kohút.

It would mean that World Champions of 2002 will penetrate into the “Bratislava” quarterfinals. They did not play for five years.

The championship will start on May 10th, the first wave of tickets will go on sale in September. It is estimated that up to 450,000 viewers will arrive in Slovakia. The mascot of the tournament becomes a bear whose form the organizers will only publish. However, more important topics are already being discussed.
