Sakon FC defeated at Kalasin

We arrived at the Kalasin stadium two hours before game time, intending to dine at an adjacent restaurant.
The recommended restaurant across the street from the Kalasin stadium, closed on game day??
With plenty of time, we headed for the local Foodland, a less pricey alternative.  Lunch for seven people 500THB.
At the stadium, a Kalasin FC staffer greeted us:  "Thank You for coming"
Nice people those Kalasin folk.
Broadcasting equipment all over the place.  The entire game it was obvious that players and officials were "playing to the camera."


Kalasin won the game 2-0, they missed many opportunities.
Sakon FC had a lot of luck.  It could have been much worse.

With the losses continuing to pile up for Sakon FC,  I'll have to start thinking of another weekend activity next year.  They are headed for a one years suspension.
An estimated 800 to 1,000 fans attended the game.  My estimate is based on a partial count of people.  Some 20,000 THB was earned from admission according to one announcement.  If that announcement was accurate, then 400 persons paid admission of 50TBH.
I did notice there where no ticket takers on hand at halftime.
