“Krayova 1948” blames the hosts

In an explanation published on social networks, the formation under the patronage of Adrian Mititelou claims that the management team is responsible for the organization and demonstrations of the fans.

“Regarding the events of the match with Sepsi OSK, we provide the following clarifications:

Our club does not participate in the organization of this match. We didn’t ask for fan tickets for that. Therefore, we cannot take any responsibility for fan demonstrations during this football match.

Our club did not organize the travel of fans to the match in Sfianta Gheorghe.

The Sepsi OSK team has taken over the access of all fans to this stadium and is thus the only organization responsible for following the law and regulations during the match. Any other interpretation is against the law and cannot be violated by any member of any commission in a civilized country.

In conclusion, we believe that our team is absolved of any guilt regarding the organization of this football match,” U Craiova 1948 said.
