The Local Game: Time to put fans first
Passionate Bình Định FC supporters ahead of their match with Sài Gòn FC earlier this season. Photo laodong.vn Peter Cowan Legendary Celtic manager Jock Stein once said that football without fans is nothing, or something to that effect. Even my Rangers supporting friends would have say he hit the nail on the head with that one and most people the world over would agree that the beautiful game is best served in front of a pair of baying mobs chanting bloody murder at each other. While we’ve all gotten somewhat used to watching matches without a crowd due to the pandemic, even the money men in big-time football who normally couldn’t give a flying you-know-what about the punters are desperate to get the crowds (and their wallets) back in the grounds when it’s safe. Everyone is itching for fans to return, except it seems, the VPF. The organisers of domestic football recently announced that V.League 1 teams would return to action in two short weeks and also released fixture dates up until mid-April. The announcement included the sad but probably sensible news that fans won’t be allowed to attend at least initially due to the recent COVID-19 outbreak, but that’s not what’s got my panties in a bunch. If things keep trending as they have been regarding control of the pandemic here, I reckon it won’t be too long before fans are allowed back onto the terraces. Well, the supporters who can get off work will be able to go watch their team. By my count, more than a whopping 35 per cent of the 54 matches scheduled for the month of action kick-off between 5pm and 6pm on a weekday. To say this is treating the loyal fans of V.League 1 clubs with disregard would be putting it mildly. Football is meant to be a working-class sport and clubs here are by and large supported by working people, so how exactly are they supposed to attend the third of matches that start before the working day even ends? Such kick-off times are tough enough …
Imported thoroughbred horses to serve Ha Tinh tourism
The foreign-backed Vabis Group on Sunday launched a horse riding club at Hoa Tien Paradise - Xuan Thanh Complex, located in Xuan Thanh Commune, Nghi Xuan District. Twenty thoroughbred horses were imported from Saudi Arabia, Europe and Australia and raised in Nghi Xuan District to serve tourists, with activities including riding lessons and beach excursions on horseback. The cost for a horse riding lesson and photo session ranges from VND200,000 ($8.67) to VND500,000 ($21.68) per 20-60 minutes. Nguyen Ngoc My, chairman of Vabis Group, the project investor, said he had planned to bring horses to Nghi Xuan District for a long time, hoping to boost Ha Tinh's tourism sector with new experiences at Xuan Thanh Beach. Hoa Tien Paradise - Xuan Thanh is a culture, tourism, sports and entertainment complex, which on completion would include 380 resort villas, 180 shophouses, a 128-site camping beach and five five-star hotels with 170 rooms each. The complex is expected to enter operation on April 30, the country's Reunification Day. Once operational, visitors to Xuan Thanh Beach could also enjoy greyhound racing and horse performances, and participate in sports like beach volleyball, football, kayaking, jet skiing, paragliding, cycling and exploring the local food street at night. In 2020, Ha Tinh welcomed 800,000 visitors, which dropped 79.2 percent compared to 2019 due to the Covid-19 pandemic. …
