The directors of the “armies” Philip Philipov and Stoyan Ormandzhiev commented the decision to play the derby with Levski with an away crowdwhich was taken after a meeting with representatives of the SDVR.
“We are satisfied, our position was from the beginning that the fans should be in the stadium – he was categorical Philip Philipov. – We did not want to deprive either our supporters or those of Levski from being at the stadium. The buffer zones are in view of the incidents we don’t want to happen with missile launches. Fans need to stop this once and for all. Police, clubs, security company and fans must unite so that football can be a wonderful emotion and not a war. From this game onwards we will have much more control over duplicate tickets. There will be a double check”.
“The inspection of the entrances will be more serious, confirmed the other executive director of CSKA-Sofia Stoyan Ormandzhiev. – We all decided together to have an audience at the stadium. We have perfect communication.”
