Akron Togliatti General Director Alexei Vlasov said that the club intends to play the Russian Cup FONBET match with Spartak Moscow at the stadium in Zhigulevsk.
According to the results of the draw for the second stage of the semi-finals of the Path of Regions of the Russian Cup, Akron will play with Spartak Moscow, and Krasnodar will play with Wings of the Soviets.
Great, just like you wanted! Yes, Spartak is going to Zhigulevsk. We don’t change anything on the go, only for the superfinal we will change the home stadium.
– Are there any fears that the police will intervene and demand that the game be rescheduled for security purposes?
We have already discussed this issue. There were many fans at the match against Lokomotiv. It is clear that Spartak can collect much more, but so far there have been no concerns from the police.
We want to play in Zhigulevsk. I think that this is also a holiday for the local police. Although, perhaps, from the point of view of organizational issues, it is difficult.
Of course, Spartak is not a foreign club, everyone in the club and the team wanted Spartak. They must have been partly heard. We corresponded with colleagues and friends, joked after the match that there would be a meeting. There was premonition on both sides.
The mood is to move on and win. We have a hard way, a lot of matches have to be played to be in the main game.
We will raise ticket prices, but they will not be very biting. As for the speculators, we understood the excitement in the last match, we did several stages, now we are thinking of implementing it in the format of a loyalty program. The priority will be those who are with us in the snow, and in the rain, and in the heat. We allocate 10% to the guests, of course, but we want our fans to fill the stands as much as possible, ”Vlasov told Match TV.
Live broadcasts of MIR RPL and Russian Cup matches are broadcast on Match TV and MATCH PREMIER channels, as well as matchtv.ru and sportbox.ru websites.
