Why the fuck is the Kessler Froch fight in Herning?

Are these promoters/organisers for real?

I was seriously thinking about going to this just after my brithday and me my old man and his mate were planning on going, but that has been fucked right up by the joke of a venue.

Did a bit of research today when it was confirmed in Herning, there are flights to the nearest airport Billund which are very rare, now once you get to Billund it is around 70km to Herning from the airport, there are only two buses a day that go to Herning yes thats rite fucking two!!! Now if your lucky enough for your flight to coincide with the bus timetable it will then take you over 2 hours to get there, there is no rail link to this place but they decide to have this fight in this obscure place in Denmark why I havent got a fucking clue.


Why not Copenhagen? What a ball ache really fancied this. Wonder how many fans will fuck this off now? Just think if you were to get the bus how the fuck would you get on it?? Just imagine say 5 thousand fans go over even two thousand now there is about 2 flights a day going to Billund so this bus that runs twice which what will hold 100 people tops would you say? How the hell are these fans getting to the venue, the bus will be full to the rafters? I heard a taxi would cost you in excess of 300 quid FUCK THAT!!!

Does seem strange to have it in such a remote place! Would a toen that difficult to get to have a decent stadium?

Bizzare mate, I know Froch aint happy and he is protesting it, I think this will effect the fans going over bigtime, Denmark is one of the most expensive countries in the world, cant see fans forking out for taxi's or renting cars aswell as the cost of hotels flights and general spending money.


Maybe it's a ploy from Kesslers people to minimise as many Brits as possible going? or maybe i'm being a bit harsh. But very strange indeed.

HAHA Billund is known for being the home of LEGO. Its population is only 6033, but apparently the airpot i the second busiest in Denmark. It all seems strange.

It's true. The stadium is actually made out of lego. It's all very strange.

You meant 500 or 200 Froch fans right Skel? ;D

Perfectly logical -

Froch is an undefeated Champion, Kessler has no strap and has lost twice...

So of course the fight should be on Kessler's home turf in a remote location hard for Froch fans to reach... :rolleyes:

Its a ploy by Kesslers promoters they dont want Froch to have any fans there! Kessler will shift most or if not all of the tickets without british fans been there!

Yep, they don't want any Brits there. They'd hold it in the Faroe Islands if they had an arena there. Or is it Greenland they own? Anyway, you get the idea.

If you're serious about going Skel perhaps look into going on a ferry? Can't remember where we caught it or where we disembarked but that's how we got to Denmark/Lego Land as kids...

My old man is a bit of a tight arse and nearly had heart attack at the prices over there. We're talking very early 90's when we went and my Dad reckons it was £3 a pint then. :o

He bought us all Fish and Chips from the local chippy because eating out was too dear and that cost him £28 for a family of four! 20 years ago!! :mad:

He still aint shut up about it! ;D

I thought Froch won his argument for the fight to take place in Copenhagen?

Does Froch even need to fight in this tournament? I figured they'd just hand him the trophy like they handed him that decision he got against Dirrel after getting his ass kicked. About the only time Froch got anything in on Dirrel was when he was fighting dirty, i.e....cheating. Dirrel whooped his ass and made him look stupid...Home town decision...Damn Shame.

Why would they care if there were some British fans there? The support would still be overwhelmingly in favor of Kessler and British money is just as good as Danish money.

Hahaha!!

I no what your saying mate I'm not a Froch fan but I think you will get quite a few boxing fans there some Hatton fans and others who are not quite Froch die hards who would be willing to go to this fight, looks a genuine 50/50.
