Of course I had completely false pre-game information.
The game was neither televised, nor was there charged admission.
Thailand's Division 2 finances must be in the deep red.
Many features from previous seasons were very obviously missing.
No medical team or standby emergency vehicle.
No security forces, not that they were ever needed.
Not enough ball boys. I counted three.
No sponsors.
No vendors
Attendance at the game was sparse, to put it mildly.
Sakon Nakhon in red and Mukdahan in yellow jerseys. Other colors were worn by substitute players not in the game.
The Sakon Nakhon cheering section was promoting the team as the yellow army.

You know, the guys who run after strayed footballs.
So there were plenty of delays when the ball went into the bushes, and players had to retrieve the ball.
No sponsors.
In previous years car dealerships and breweries were sponsors.
Alcohol advertisements were outlawed in sports events a few years ago.
Really do miss those beer tents. These days you have to bring your own.

The Sakon Nakhon cheering section was promoting the team as the yellow army.
I don't think it has anything to do with the present political situation in the country.
The action was nonstop, both teams needed a win. During the first half of the game I wondered many times if the referee had come to town on the bus from Mukdahan. A player from Mukdahan tripped over the ball, flipped over and landed at the feet of a Sakon Nakhon player. The Sakon Player got yellow carded.
My guess, it was between the fifth and tenth minute since the start of the game,
when Sakon Nakhon scored (NO PUBLIC TIME CLOCK).
It was the only score of the game, even though there where plenty of near misses which kept the game interesting
The new coaching team substituted only one player during the entire game, while Mukdahan substituted a number of players.
A number of players who sat on the sidelines have great potential, as they have shown in previous seasons.
For the price of admission (free), it was well worth the time.
The team has potential. They obviously need some sponsors.
