It was in connection with the SHL premiere on September 17 that the Leksands supporters felt that they were poorly received in Karöstad.
- Last autumn was the worst I've been through.
You will never get such bad treatment anywhere as you get in Karlstad.
It has happened on several occasions now, says Leksands Superstar's chairman Niklas Niva Sjökvist to Falu-Kuriren, where he gave examples of what he considers to be poor treatment from the security guards:
- There was one who was worn out because he pulled up a middle finger against the Färjestad heel.
You might think that's ridiculous, but he did it in response to getting ten middle fingers against us.
"Sounds really weird"
Färjstad's security manager Lars Nyström does not recognize the problem.
- It sounds very strange as these are guys who have worked on hockey matches for 15-20 years.
Leksand is not one of those heels that we have experienced a problem with over the years, I can say that right away.
Färjestad took a clear victory
How did it go for Leksand without the supporters' club in place?
Not so good.
Färjestad won 4–0.
- Far too bad.
I think we come out all right, but they get two pucks in, a bit lucky.
We have to play better than this, it's that simple, says Olle Alsing to C More, and continues:
- We score zero goals today, suck in PP and concede four.
