On the morning of February 27, Lao Dong Newspaper reporter noted that the work of caring for grass at Ha Tinh province's stadium is still being carried out with spraying stimulants to help the grass grow.
The grass patching in areas with poor grass, coiled the pitch, and cutting the grass to level the pitch was completed on February 24.
However, on the afternoon of February 24, the representative of the V.League Organizing Committee conducted an inspection and concluded that the quality of Ha Tinh Stadium was still not guaranteed, so they decided that the round 15 of V.League taking place on February 28 would have to rent the Hong Linh Ha Tinh team at Vinh Stadium (Nghe An).
After the above conclusion of the V.League organizing committee, Ms. Phan Thi Thu Huong - Director of the Ha Tinh Province Sports Training and Competition Center - said that this was also reasonable. Because Ha Tinh Stadium has just been renovated, if the next match is held, it will affect the quality of the stadium, and there is a risk that the next match will not be able to be held because the quality of the ground is not guaranteed.
On the morning of February 27, Mr. Vo Hong Son - Deputy Director of the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism of Ha Tinh - said that according to the plan, on March 2, the V.League Organizing Committee will return to inspect Ha Tinh Stadium to see if it has ensured the quality for the organization of the next match.
"Yesterday, I checked and saw that the grass on the pitch had started to improve. Currently, the weather has gradually warmed up. The next inspection is to ensure the quality of the stadium is guaranteed" - Mr. Son shared.
According to Mr. Son, the quality of the stadium is not guaranteed, the Hong Linh Ha Tinh team cannot play at home for the afternoon match on February 28 is a disadvantage for home fans. However, playing on a neutral pitch is not as disadvantageous as playing away.
Mr. Son also shared that, through the incident of the degraded home stadium not being able to organize football like that, the management unit also had to learn from experience to pay attention to and care for the field more regularly, to ensure the quality of the competition organization was stable.
