Deltras Derby Delayed
The tasty East Java derby between Persebaya (Divisi Utama) and Deltras has been put back yet again. It's latest date is 6 April. But no one knows where!
The game was originally slated to be played at Deltras Stadium in Sidoarjo, a practical suburb of Surabaya but the local police weren't too keen on the idea of thousands of Persebaya fans making the short journey to their delightful town.
Kanjuruhan Stadium in Malang was next mooted but Persebaya nixed that idea; they are less than popular in that town at the best of times.
Deltras are saying they don't care where the game is held as long as it is in East Java; anything else would quite naturally cost an arm and a leg in travel and other assorted costs.
