Sweet Revenge

From 17th to 13th with a win of four goals

Sakon Nakhon FC had it's best day of the season to date, winning over Nakhon Phanom.


I did expect a win, but with a smaller margin.
Nakhon Phanom had a few close calls, but no goals
           
Nakhon Phanom had a bit of a numbskull on their team, deserving a card for confronting the referee






Sakon Nakhon FC next travels to Mahasarakham for a game on April 26.   
This game is also very winable

Of note: 
The brochure indicates that Suk Kasem Road will be closed to vehicle traffic, daily from 10 am to 4 pm.   
My translation was not specific, but it seems unlikely that the entire road will be closed.  I'm going to stick my neck out and say it's that section of the road where the food fair takes place.
         The brochure also does not indicate a parade route.
        Again I'll stick my neck out and say anywhere along Suk Kasem Road
