It’s like an away… Gangwon FC’s ‘Chuncheon Dilemma’ (SS Focus)

(Sports Seoul | Jeong -dao reporter) A home game like a Wonjeong. Gangwon FC has been moaning in Chuncheon Dilemma for a long time.

Gangwon is a home stadium and uses two places: Gangneung Sports Complex and Chuncheon Songam Sports Town. In the first half of the year, it is held in Chuncheon and digested in Gangneung in the second half. After the 18th round match against Jeonbuk Hyundai on June 13, it was held in Gangneung on June 21 after the Chuncheon schedule.

This is in accordance with the agreement of diversification of home games three years ago. This is the result of reflecting the policy of holding a game evenly in Yeongdong and Yeongseo as a citizen.

This year, when the agreement ends, Kangwon has bid for a new contract. The main term is to give the right to host the second half to the region that offers higher bidding.

In Chuncheon City, it is a backlash. Chuncheon Mayor of Yuk -dong criticized the club, saying, “The citizens are trying to compete in price by attracting local governments.”

In fact, from the standpoint of Gangwon, Chuncheon is always dilemed. The distance from Gangwon Club House Orange House to Chuncheon Songam Sports Town is about 165km. Since you have to go two hours by car beyond Daegwallyeong, the team moves the day before the game to control the condition. Due to a four -hour round -trip distance, there is a great physical consumption and difficulty in maintaining concentration. Meeting and training are also difficult to proceed. Not to mention that the budget is more budget.

On the other hand, if you play at the Gangneung Sports Complex, you can prepare at the clubhouse comfortably and take 10-15 minutes by car to take advantage of the home. Considering the 80km of FC Seoul Club House GS Champions Park to Chuncheon Songam Sports Town, you can understand the grievances of the Gangwon Squadron.

This is why Gangwon is trying to digest the second half of the schedule in Gangneung. The ranking competition begins in earnest from the summer when the number of Gyeonggi is concentrated. If you play a summer home game in Chuncheon, the players’ health will be doubled. It is clear that it will adversely affect your grades.

Jung Kyung -ho said, “Many fans are cheering in Chuncheon. But when you prepare for a home game, Chuncheon should travel for more than 2 hours. Gangneung can take advantage of our home. In fact, Gangwon is cruising without defeating 1 win and 2 draws after moving in Gangneung.

The club is advantageous to spend the whole season in Gangneung, but it does not exclude Chuncheon for local arrangements. This is also due to the characteristics of the Domin Team. The officials who sleep in Gangwon say, “The club is better to do it only in Gangneung, but we are considering all the emotions of Yeongdong and Yeongseo. We are concerned that we can fight and adversely affect the elections.” If you get rid of the Chuncheon home game, the team may be comfortable, but you are worried that a big conflict may occur in the province.

After all, in order to take a schedule in Chuncheon in the second half of the year, there must be a positive factor that can overcome the grievances. The clubs and teams have no choice but to prefer Gangneung. It is difficult for the club to agree with the response of Chuncheon City, which criticizes the bidding and wants to hold the game in the second half.

Jeon In -pyo, chairman of Gangwon Supporter Narsha, said, “Gangwon FC is a team of all the people of Gangwon -do. weo@sportsseoul.com
