Mink News

Hello all MAIF fans! We passed the 10,000 visits threshold today, so we know you are many. Either that or you don't know of another web-site to look at so you just keep on returning here...

Anyway, it's been a long time since last article and a lot of things have happened. As SuperMink reported from the yearly club meeting earlier this week, there are new faces in the troup.

The start of the season is still distant (first game on 16/4, first game at home in Strandvallen on 22/4), but the players have resumed training, and training games are starting already next week against Halmstad and Kristianstad. The first one is in the week and a bit far, but the game against Kristianstad is on a saturday and closer, so it could be a good occasion to get ourselves an opinion on the new recruits. It's also good to see some teams of AllSvenskan in front of us.

Finally, the club is looking for more arms willing to help during and around the games. More info on MAIF's page. Who knows, maybe I'll be the next speaker and you the next sausage guy! ;-)
