I would imagine they will be drinking in the keskusta, especially as it is close to the train station (For those travelling from Helsinki or Helsinki airport) and within easy walking distance to the ground.

Think the season ticket prices this season have been outstanding value for money (I think mine costs 120e if I recall correctly. I thought at the time I have to be not understanding something with translation of the language because it surely cannot be that cheap) In other countries even in...

I was really curious about the average attendances so far this season across the Veikkausliiga. I have felt all season that at the majority of games at our home stadium have felt pretty good and full in terms of numbers. HJK have the highest average with 6,311 Ilves however are knocking on...

FK Austria Wien currently in their pre season, as mentioned above. Coming off the back of a nightmarish season for them last year competing in the Austrian relegation rounds. They will not be up to full speed during their pre season and it is the perfect time to play them. Ilves will take...

HUGE result, especially with 10 men for most of the game. We really need to cut out the individual defensive mistakes, some of the decisions made by the players defensively is absolutely baffling. Not going to talk to much about the ref because that will infuriate me. I can see why a ref would...

Real shame about the result, we have a habit of conceding late goals and throwing points away. I noticed we signed a new CB this week and hopefully this is something that Rantanen can rectify. Special mention to all the travelling fans. I thought our away support was top notch tonight and that...

Best team won But Southgate should have changed something it was obvious 6 mins before the late goal that Spain looked likely to score. He did nothing. England need a head coach with attacking intent. It is clear to see we have talent on the bench, talented younger players but Southgate will not...

Anyone else watching the final at keskustori?

I just read about the news from Gnistan's website. That cannot be easy on the club or the clubs supporters, I hope they come back from it stronger and also manage to stay in the division. I think they have done incredibly well since getting promoted. Ground sharing is not nice and is an instant...

I don’t believe Spain will run away with it. When you look at individual players and experience. Fair few of our players have played in a major final at this magnitude before and may well handle the pressure better. I would hope after the last Euro final defeat against Italy we have a little...

This was a very interesting game. I knew The Netherlands would go more defensive second half but that was almost embarrassing. England had to much for them in the first half on the balance of play and they clearly felt they had to make it difficult and they did the one thing we struggle to...

England have just played their best first half of the tournament. The Netherlands look poor and limited with ideas (I am not sure if this is because England have upped their game or because the Dutch are off the boil) they are hoping to catch another lucky break by hitting England on the...

@BEAT!! What do you have to do once you have filled in the form for the bus trip? Do you wait to get an email with payment/bank transfer instructions then just follow the information provided on the email? Cheers :)

Oulunkylaa is Gnistan away right? which is situated very close to Helsinki? I am deffo up for a train trip down to that one so I can attend. Just brought my match ticket for Haka!

I mean this is England. Was probably jinxed the moment the tournament started xD. I do not have expectation. Just hope. Especially after our performances but we somehow keep finding a way.

Haarala would not be playing in Finland if he was a natural goal scorer and knew how to put the ball in the net. He can be incredibly frustrating to watch when he needs 3-5 1on1s to score a goal. But his movement and pace does make a huge difference for us, he is a clever forward in that...

Ilves win, England win What a lovely day. Who knows, when you get to a semi final anything can happen. Maybe, its coming home!

I hope it’s not the case but I wouldn’t be surprised if Jorginho has got a move, he’s a joy to watch at times. I’m not so optimistic with Arifi and Jorginho both not in the team, they both play a big part in making us tick, Arifi has just gotten better and better as the season has progressed

Lahti should pay you for attending that stadium also 8/9€ for a can of beer/cider that you can buy for €2.50 in the shops! Now I understand why drinking is allowed on the busses in Finland and why you should stock up from k-market xD I am looking forward to the Haka game. The stadium (from...

That’s really refreshing and great to hear that beat/niilon pojat can try to negotiate and get a better deal for away supporters if they feel the home club is asking to much/being unreasonable with prices.
