What's the correct way to pronounce Hammarby and Bajen? Want to sound educated... :)

Hammarby have never won the cup and only won the league once.

What has changed is that we have moved stadiums. We will probably average over 25000 from now on. Hammarby will build a strong foundation now and be a force in the coming years. At the moment we cant compete with Malmö FF or even Häcken (who own the Gothia Cup and are worth millions). Norrköping, IFK Göteborg and AIK have better squads. But we made $2.5 million profit last year, without really selling players. We almost went bankrupt a few years ago so they arent taking any chances again.

A massive draw card for us now is that we can attract players who want to play in front of a mostly sold out stadium every week.

The island is Södermalm but referred to as Söder.

Like a cat "purr" , "surr-dur"

Hammarby is "Ham-mahr-bee"

Bajen is "Bi-yan"

Thank you so much!

Looking forward to tonight :D

Hammarby looked absolutely shithouse on the pitch but off it their support is AMAZING! Such a fantastoc atmosphere in that compact arena. An awesome experience.

What a mad atmosphere, I can't believe how some people can be against this sort of atmosphere in favour of more of a modern day EPL atmosphere.

Traditionally there isn't much pyro or smoke for the first game, as it is all the way during the march. Tifo was a bit weak.... May have been due to playing the derbies recently.

We were dogshit and had no midfield but it would have gone off it we scored late. We were quite close but it could be argued they had some decent chances.

Yeh I have seen you post better clips from past games, but having said that it still is a great atmosphere. Love the stadium too, I wish WSW get something similar but I won't hold my breath. NSW government will most likely fuck it up as always is the case.

I don't get it really (why it wouldn't be considered). The stadium has won awards and been voted the best in the world. Beating wembley and Madison square garden among others.

You wouldn't need a roof though. They are having the Eurovision Song Contest there this year. It is a multipurpose arena hence the AstroTurf and roof.

But as far as design goes, we had a record 31700 or so yesterday. Except for having one big wall/tier at the home end the stadium is perfect. With no bad seats.

That was just bullshit. You know the reason he said 49ers stadium was so he could go, which he did, to the Super Bowl on your tax money.

As you know I'm a Assyriska fan not Hammarby :cool: but honestly I have a habit of checking livescores and always hope you guys win. I just love the fan culture you guys have and the pics you normally post are insane.
However because of my lack of knowledge of the players in Sweden I have no idea who's expected to be favourites each season and even regarding Assyriska itself I have no idea. I mean I read who they have signed but hardly never know what to expect. I normally just expect the worst so I'm not left disappointed with Assyriska lol.
I've been following them on livescores for years but just got into streaming games last season while I was in London and even when I got back home so I'm pumped for the opener against the new Kurd team promoted.
But yeh as for Hammarby I have a soft spot for them and I know one day I will be there to watch them play. I just think with such a huge fan base in Sweden the club will soon build itself back up to where it should be and start winning some titles.

Hur ser framtiden ut i övrigt? Du har tidigare sagt att du kanske avslutar i Assyriska FF. Är det aktuellt med en återkomst?

– Assyriska är min moderklubb och det är alltid roligt att många undrar och pratar om det. Först och främst vill jag göra ett bra år här och sen får vi se. Hur min framtid ser ut kan jag inte svara på just nu, utan allt handlar om kroppen – hur man mår och hur det känns. Det ska kännas rätt.

Research CITY (Stockholm Prevents Alcohol and Drug Problems), on behalf of Hammarby, AIK and Djurgården conducted a study to find out how alcohol habits looks in the stands.

Visitors to Tele2 Arena Friends Arena has been blowing into a breathalyzer. The result: half were intoxicated. And ten percent had more than one per thousand of the blood.

- Then you are really drunk. Football clubs were actually surprised that it was this widespread, says Johanna Gripenberg, section chief at the city.


Filling even the family stands

According to her, the result is that today presented very reliable. A total of 3,000 people participated in the test, which lasted for eight games during last season. And it's not just people in heels that were tested.

- We had six blow stations scattered throughout the arena. So the results include family bleachers, away supporters and long sides, says Johanna Gripenberg.

The project "Football without filling" should now work to bring down the consumption of alcohol in connection with the games. The first step will be to bring down the powerful intoxication, something CITY organization already has experience through his many years of work in Stockholm's restaurant industry. For example, the taverns next to the stadiums trained in what they can do.

- The results are clear. There is a large group of visitors that are full of football matches. That the drinking of alcohol in connection with football matches is not news. But the clubs were surprised how much actual drinking, says Johanna Gripenberg.
