Yugra Samotlor have decided not to travel to Kemerovo to play a game of the 17th round of the Russian Super League against Kuzbass.
According to the source, the reason for taking this step is that the club management had some financial problems and didn’t manage to buy tickets on time. When they received the funds, there was no enough number of tickets for a plane.
“We have a difficult financial situation, many debts. We apologize to the Kuzbass, the Russian Volleyball Federation and the fans,” says Alex Berezin, director of Samotlor.
That means, Yugra will lose the game 3-0. At the moment, Yugra is in the 14th place in the league, winning only one game out of 16.
