Bodo/Glimt shocked the world of football and qualified in the Europa League semifinal. In the tour of the penultimate act, the Norwegians lost 3-1 in front of Tottenham, but fans would do anything to take a place on the return to Norway.
Aspmyra Stadium, the Norwegians arena, has a capacity of about 8,000 seats and a syntentic lawn, the main weapon of Bodo/Glimt.
5 pounds of boknafisk or 5 kilograms of reind
With limited places and high demand, the fans of Bodo/Glimt resorted to troles to get a place on the small arena located at the Polar Circle.
The Guardian ones reported some unique exchanges to which fans have called to get the ticket. The Norwegian supporters offered a ticket to the match on the fish and reindeer in exchange.
Torbjorn Eide is the fan of Bodo/Glimt offered 5 kilograms of Boknafisk, a Norwegian delicacy that refers to semi-widowed fish and wind, especially code. According to the English from The Guardian, the 5 kilograms cost 2,500 Norwegian crowns, which is about 215 euros.
Torbjorn, the production director of a fish farm, also offered a series of statements: “We produce the best Boknafisk in Norway that you probably can't find in Bodo and I thought that probably someone would.” The one who sold the ticket, Oystein Aanes, said he offered him the ticket just because it “was funny.”
Nils Erik Oskal also tried Torbjorn Eide's tactic, but offered 5 kilograms of reindeer worth about 1000 Norwegian crowns (86 euros) and said that “someone bit the bait, did not last long.”
Although fans are cramming at the most important event in Bodo, the chances of the Norwegians in the final are low. Spurs defeated them with 3-1 in the tour, and the artificial lawn does not seem to be a hindrance to the English in the returned return on May 8 from 10:00 pm.
