Before the start of the match, a fight is said to have broken out between the supporters. In addition, pyrotechnics and buckets are said to have been thrown. Sarpsborg 08 asked to move the match from Sunday afternoon to Saturday. They hoped the local settlement would be a party for the whole town, and did not fear that there would be a row. – It’s not the expected noise. But that we take our precautions – of course we do, because there are many people who will gather, said chairman Hans Petter Arnesen in Sarpsborg 08 to news. – It must be a safe event for everyone. Got a restraining order The police have previously called the settlement a risk fight. Earlier this week, the police sent letters banning visitors to eight supporters, in an attempt to prevent disturbances. Four from Sarpsborg and four from Fredrikstad. There they were told that they were not allowed to be in the stadium or the surrounding areas between 16:00 and 24:00 on the day of the match. In the same letter, it is stated that a breach of the visiting ban could result in fines or imprisonment for up to one year. – By using this tool, we believe that we can prevent unwanted incidents before and during the match, said police attorney John Skarpeid in the East police district to news. The police attorney said that the eight supporters have either previously been punished or have ongoing criminal cases involving violence. Thrown flares The cases stem, among other things, from the first match between Sarpsborg 08 and Fredrikstad in April, and from the match between Fredrikstad and Odd at the end of August. There, an Odd supporter suffered a fractured face after being punched. When the two rivals met in April, the match ended 2-2, after Henrik Kjelsrud Johansen equalized for Fredrikstad in overtime. The match is still best remembered for what happened off the pitch. Several people were fined and banned after they threw flares from Sarpsborg’s stand onto the pitch. Sarpsborg 08 was fined NOK 120,000 after the flare throwing. Published 28.09.2024, at 19.16 Updated 28.09.2024, at 19.27
