All it says is a Coventry City fan in Norway wanted to support his local Norwegian club by buying advertising space, so he did and used 34 meters and wrote COVENTRY CITY FC

Er du Norsk?

Jeg er Engelsk men jeg bor i Oslo. And my Norwegian is piss poor.

Whooooo was it?

AP) When ildsjelen Herleif Inge Hansen would support their local sports teams Finnsnes IL, he might as well two birds with one stone.

Recently, namely Finnsnes Stadium in Troms new advertising adornment for the season, and by far the most attention attracted enough advertising behind one goal. There it hangs namely a 34 meter wide variety of signs with the inscription "Coventry City FC."

The man who has paid it all, both hope and believe that he may have set in motion a process that gives Finnsnes IL increased revenues.

- Now you throw enough Manchester United and Liverpool fans in as well, I hope. Then the club might go into a few hundred thousand for this, says Herleif Inge Hansen told VG Nett.

United fans respond?

Marketing Ivar Holand in Finnsnes IL, describing Hansen as an activist and ardent supporter of both IL Finnsnes and Coventry City, confirmed that the rumors going about similar efforts.

- We have some very avid Manchester United fans up here, and one of them has a little money, I know. Rumors say he wants more than the 34 meters, but it may be far from words to action, he grins to VG Nett.

Requires sports betting

Nevertheless, it is not just for the sake Hansen has scrolled up 100,000 dollars for the 34 meters. He calls Finnsnes IL "the best run club in the county" when it comes to the economy - but believes the club's A-team has a lot going on sports.

- Where we are struggling. Therefore I have set as a premise that the money will be used by the coach to make it run better clean sporty set. The team has already been on two training camps in the eastern region, he said.

Two birds with one stone

Finnsnes IL is currently in 8th place in his 3 Division Department. Now, Hansen hopes that the team can climb on the table, and when needed the money.

- You're very excited that the local team to do the best, also financially. And when I first would help a bit, it was okay to promote my favorite sport in England, Coventry.

He obviously didn't 'scroll up 100,000 dollars' for the sign!

100,000 kroner is about £10k to £11k. Sounds a lot but everything is expensive over here.

This is brilliant! Maybe some Finnish Tycoon would like to invest

Personally I would of used the £11K to hire out a Conference room at The Ricoh and have a crafts and fair evening where people get to paint "sisu feck off" posters to hang up in every corridor possible......

So that makes at least 3 of us in Norway, 3 out of 5,000,000 aint bad for our shoddy club

Maybe we should make contact with him and say thanks (plus "are you mad?") and start a Norwegian Sky Blue Army, we can then meet up to celebrate sisu fecking off, our return to the championship, our return to the premiership and even the champions league games

Jeg er norsk, men familien er fra England. Da er vi i alle fall 3 stk. i Norge! Med Coventry supporterene i familien min er vi 8 stk! Kanskje det er på tide med en norsk supporterklubb snart?
Kan starte med å lage en ny "tråd" i forumet her! hehe :welcome:
