UNITED DENIED TRAINING SESSION

Last updated : 26 July 2002 By Editor

The Norwegian premier league club Lillestrom Sports Klubb (LSK) have refused United's request of using their ground for practise the day before United's game against Valerenga. The reason being LSK and their Champions League opponents Zeljeznicar from Bosnia will train on the ground on the 30th of July.

Three sessions the day before a Champions League qualification game is to much. says Birger Karlsen, LSK's groundsman.

There is no mentioning of LSK being jealous of their bitter rivals Valerenga meeting United and not them.
