Big article on TLO about next season at BPEA.
*10 sponsors announced for next season:
King Power, Samart I-Mobile, Thai Beverage, Jaroen Pokpan Foods (is that CP?), Phillips Electronics, Hello Bangkok, Thai Air Asia, PEA, World Gas Thialand, Ford Corporation.
*Newin announces that Buriram's first season was a great success. "The original aim was to be in the top 4, but now we're looking at being runners-up, and we're confident we can do it". Then 10 sponsors listed above have given about 100 million baht to the club for next season. Of this, about 70 million will be used for the team, and the other 30 million for the cheer/fan club.
*Next season's aim is to win the Thai Premier League title for the first time. They will also need to find better players if they are to do well in ACL competitions.
* In the next 5 years, they aim to be a well-known club throughout Asia, ranked as 1 of the top 10 Asian clubs. They also have youth programs planned, and once their Academy opens, hope to send players to clubs in the big leagues in Europe, as well as Japan and Korea.
*PEA will also have a new manager next season, with Worawan Chidawanit replacing Pongpan Wongsawan. Worawan has been managing abroad for the last 11 years and most recently at Tampines Rovers in Singapore. It appears he will work as Head Coach for the rest of Buriram FC's 2nd Division campaign.
*Vinnie will be delighted that the article refers to Buriram as PEA's 'Team Nong'
*Finally. it appears that the new I-Mobile stadiom will be finished within 6 months. Once completed, it will hold 24000 people, and be the first stadium in Thialand that meaets FIFA standards. With this stadium, Buriram are hoping to host the 42nd King's Cup in 2012.
[/color] What does that mean? FIFA have a range of standards by which they grade each stadium. A capacity of 24,000 makes it too small to qualify for FIFA's highest grade - if that's what they mean. If they mean that it would qualify as a venue capable of hosting internationals then it joins a list of about ten in Thailand which have such a status. |

It's probably my poor translation skills. Re-reading it, I've skipped a bit. Something like it will be "the first privately owned club stadium" meeting FIFA standards.

Korea bussed in fans during the 2002 World Cup too. After the first couple of matches they were embarrassed by the rows of empty seats, and filled them with school kids. I paid US$150 for an 'A' ticket, just to be stuck behind a row of school girls who spent the whole time chatting, talking on their phones, and getting up to buy snacks. Was rather unimpressed. On the other hand, I was sitting next to a couple of friendly chaps from Ecuador, who'd flown over from Japan to lend their support to Paraguay. The Koreans were also concerned that some teams would have little travelling support, and got volunteers to attach themselves to each team, and shipped these folk to each game 'their' team played. |

Korat put on free transport from the city to the stadium site for every day of the 2007 SEA Games and most of the local schools actually closed for the fortnight duration of the games!
No such measures were necessary for the King's Cup, though. Every matchday more or less sold out with fans actually paying for tickets to watch football matches! Fancy that!

At least he wouldn't be able to be as heavily involved with football if he does get the top job. It's difficult to imagine him sitting on the bench at PEA and Buriram games every Sat and Sun if he's PM. |

No, he'll never be PM because he is too hated by the reds, the powers that be know he'll be too divisive. |

Actual the 50 THB Tickets for Chonburi at 7eleven are sold out.
I have the bad feeling that a lot of them were bought in North Eastern Thailand ... :/

There were a lot of what looked like senior ranking police officials at the match last night. They were wandering around the stadium with members of the Chonburi management before, during and after the game. I expect that things will be very different to what we are used to on Sunday. There was also a lot of talk in the stands about the visit of the PEA fans. |

At he 7 eleven counter today i just wanted to buy 2 tickets for 50 THB, but only got the last one. From the 80 THB Tickets there were just 500 left.
Will be very different on Sunday. Hopefully everything will be peaceful.

Sounds familiar... I cannot believe they will try pull this stunt again. They were lucky they got away with it in regards to us and our fans, because we didn't realise until it was too late. Don't be surprised if you see a load of 'Chonburi fans' that you have never seen before wearing light blue shirts. |

Maybe than they loose some points, so that PEA will come up second for sure at the end of the season and (maybe) eligable to play AFC campaign next year. |

Saw a guy in a Buriram shirt leaving the Tero-Port game a few minutes early this evening. Unfortunately he was too far away for me to ask if he realised Newin wasn't paying him today.

I'm a bit behind the times having just seen highlights of the Chonburi v PEA match but did everyone else see the PEA player (don't know who, an African player) deliberately throw the ball in the referee's face and not even get booked for it?

Yes. Needless to say, that incident caused one or two eyebrows (plus a few thousand voices) to be raised. The referee didn't even apologise for getting the way. |

--- "I want to make it clear that our fans don't get payment. They come of their own will to support the team. Most are vendors or farmers so they have their own income. They just sacrifice their time to cheer the team." ---I guess every single farmer in Buriram has enough income to shell out for a Buriram PEA shirt and a Buriram FC shirt. They must be earning pretty well then. Perhaps I should get a job as a Buriram farmer

The next quote:
"I've asked Khun Newin as to whether we can allocate an budget to support the fans in terms of transportation and ticket fees. But we only give these expenses on the condition that they really come to support the team."
Is this along the lines, of saying "I merely pay for the voter's transport to the polling booth, but only on the condition they vote for the candidate they think is best"
She doesn't deny that they supply the fans with shirts, in fact she as good as admits it in the comment about the new 'dress code' imposed in Buriram. (What happens to scruffy supporters? Are they taken out back and shot?)
She leads the cheers, 'doing what she loves'. I think Vinnie (and the rest of us) would like to know what she was doing pre-2010? Where was she when they were sh*t?

"It began with the way the fans dressed. No more slippers and shorts."
The warped logic of a fascist. She said they studied videos of Chonburi fans to get ideas. She obviously wasn't watching that closely because what her lot does is nothing like what Chonburi fans do. |

You know I can honestly say I'd have far more appreciation of the Chidchobs if they were just honest and said: "We pay fans because they don't have a lot of money and we want to build an atmosphere".
I'd have no problem with that even though it's very different to what I think is right. The only problem I have with PEA and Buriram is that the officials (of their matches) are tampered with and it will be worse next season. That destroys everything football stands for and ultimately all of Thai football will suffer for it.

Just watched bits of the Chiang Mai v Buriram FC game. About 30 minutes in BFC had a goal (correctly) disallowed, they show Mrs C looking round at the game in front of her 'fans', then about 10 seconds later, another crowd shot shows the Buriram fans holding up cards that spell out "WHAT DID I DO WRONG?" (the T-shirt slogan mentioned in the Nation article). While I have no problem with fans voicing their dissent with a decision (& to an extent, players and managers), to me, there's something wrong with the wife of the club owner encouraging & premeditating criticism of the officials. Remember, she also organised the display of 'red cards' when at PEA's away match at Port. It says something about the ethical level the Chidchob's operate at, especially when FAT officials have had yet another fixture moved just to suit them. (Have Rayong, Phichit, Saraburi or even Chiang Rai had this happen all season?)

I know this is turning into a bit of a tirade, but how can the league allow Newin to own two clubs in the same league? Or even onto the sidelines with two different teams? (I thought the bench was for playing/coaching staff only). From the reading I've done, it also seems as though Apaporn Busapakom has coaching roles within both set-ups (or at least I've not been able to workout which club he's with). Again, how is this permitted?

The big red card thing, like lots of other stuff, started at Chonburi. In fact one of the posters on here can clearly be seen on TV pictures waving one at the dismissed KTB goalkeeper on the night we won the league.  During our first season in the TPL (2006) fans started turning up with effigies representing other clubs : giant cigarettes, large battleships, an electricity pylon and oversized ATM cards etc. |

During our first season in the TPL (2006) fans started turning up with effigies representing other clubs : giant cigarettes, large battleships, an electricity pylon and oversized ATM cards etc.
I'd love to bring back the days when no one watched, but us 'freaks who did' actually knew what was happening. Now, it's far to overblown. |

As I said, I have no problems with the fans doing it, but to have it organised by the wife of the club owner seems like poor form.
Sorry, I can't quite put my finger on what exactly I dislike about this, and therefore am unable to express it better than, it just doesn't feel right.

I know what you're saying. You would expect the chairman's wife to behave with a little more dignity and decorum. But, as we found out this morning, she's just doing what she loves. |

I know this is turning into a bit of a tirade, but how can the league allow Newin to own two clubs in the same league? Or even onto the sidelines with two different teams? (I thought the bench was for playing/coaching staff only). From the reading I've done, it also seems as though Apaporn Busapakom has coaching roles within both set-ups (or at least I've not been able to workout which club he's with). Again, how is this permitted?
Ah, but she owns Buriram F.C and he owns Buriram PEA. Problem sorted! |

--- "I want to make it clear that our fans don't get payment. They come of their own will to support the team. Most are vendors or farmers so they have their own income. They just sacrifice their time to cheer the team." ---I guess every single farmer in Buriram has enough income to shell out for a Buriram PEA shirt and a Buriram FC shirt. They must be earning pretty well then. Perhaps I should get a job as a Buriram farmer I just found the original Thai version on the Buriram FC website, and she does give the supprters money.
"I've asked Khun Newin as to whether we can allocate an budget to support the fans in terms of transportation and ticket fees. But we only give these expenses on the condition that they really come to support the team."
In the Thai version of this sentence, kind hearted Khun Newin and their sponsors give supporters 100 baht each match to cover transport, tickets and food. On one condition, of course. |

I saw the guys moving through the crowd at Buriram stadium in the stand behind the goal next to the away fans - they had satchels and were giving out money - I saw this with my own eyes. It was 100 Baht plus a small note from what I could see - maybe 120 or 150. The stand was full of school age kids, mainly still in uniform as it was a Wednesday afternoon when Pattaya played at Buriram. They showed little interest in the football to be honest.
