  Sakon FC vs X-Sakon FC  

Nearly two months ago, the coach for Sakon FC quit the team and departed for Surin, taking with him four Sakon Nakhon players.
The final game of the season is a home game when Sakon FC hosts Surin.
That game takes place September 15, with an end of the season party after the game.

Before that, the team travels to Nong Kai for a game on September 8.
As has been with most away games this year, no one is sure what time is game time.
Take your pick: 3:30, 4:30, or 5 pm




As for last week's game, there's been some rumbling why there were no drums or horns supporting Sakon FC.  Team staff were asking: "where was Joey, where was the farang with his horn."

Oh, there were some cheers by a group of fans.  Those cheers didn't get started till a case of beer and a bottle of booze had been guzzled.  Cheers mixed with complaints about refereeing
