Opened in 2017 and it’s the first time the club has owned its own stadium. I cried when it finally opened. You should obviously follow Vålerenga (as if I’d say anything else.) A working class club from the working class east side of Oslo, the only proper city in Norway. We have the best ultras in the country, and a history steeped in tradition, cult hero characters and legends. We love a party, we love pyro, we’re diverse and open, yet fiercely tribal. We’re mediocre or shit most of the time on the pitch, but the club is special and when we do win, it’s f***ing spectacular. «We are rubbish, we are addicts, we are all on the dole, we are the lowlifes from the capital». 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’d love to qualify for Europe, just like any other club from any other league? I mean what is the feeling of 2nd and 3rd best teams entering the new conference league instead of europa? Better as more chance of progression or worse as it is less prestigious? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HKP90 Posted May 2, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted May 2, 2023 How does the relegation work, then. The table I've seen shows two teams relegated, and one in a relegation playoff. If it's just the one team in the playoff, do they play a promotion contender for that third spot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teams 3-6 in the first division play each other* for the right to play team 14 in the Eliteserie. *Actually, team 5 and 6 play a knock out game, then the winner plays team 4 and then that winner plays team 3. Fun format. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just want European football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Zen Posted May 3, 2023 Author Share Posted May 3, 2023 Aalesunds with a nice 0p and 0 goals after five games to start the season. Vålerenga with just 3p from four, Rosenborg with just 6p from five. We might see some early managerial changes in the Eliteserie. Incredibly, no managers lost their jobs last season.

El Zen Posted May 4, 2023 Author Share Posted May 4, 2023 I’ll be flying to Trondheim on Saturday to watch Vålerenga away at Rosenborg. Should be fun. Haven’t won a league game there since 2011 or something. They’re playing terrible football and not doing much better than us early on, but we’ll definitely lose and it’ll get aggressive. Can’t wait. Should be a good away following though, with plenty staying the night up there and making a weekend trip out of it.

Fredrikstad had been relegated by that point though I went to Strømsgodset when we played them away in 98. Collymore hat-trick. Its in Drammen I believe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HKP90 Posted May 5, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted May 5, 2023 Right- started a new Fifa save with Valarenga. Trying to viking things up a bit. As an aside, is there a way to watch the games over here? I know the A league have a youtube channel for live games. Is there something similar for the Eliteserien? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
