"Yet another Monday match in the Superliga—yet another trip for fans between Jutland and Zealand. For the fifth consecutive round. We refer to our statement issued before the home match against Silkeborg and once again call for making football in Denmark more fan-friendly—for both current and future generations who wish to follow their teams at the stadium", says Brondby supporter group "Southside" on their website.
"Today, by agreement between the fans of both clubs, there will be a joint boycott of vocal support for the first 15 minutes. Football is nothing without fans—and it is time that this is cherished to a much greater extent in Denmark. See you in Herning."
In the Danish 3F Superliga, Monday matches are one of the most debated topics among fans, clubs, and broadcasters. While rights holders love them for their high numbers of television viewers, they cause significant frustration in the stands.
Sunday matches allow fans to travel over the weekend, whereas a Monday match at 19:00 PM makes it nearly impossible for commuting fans to arrive in time. A Monday match in Herning means a long journey home across Denmark for Brondby fans in the middle of the night, ahead of a regular Tuesday at work or school.
