5,000 fans of Kometa Brno “owned” the largest arena in Prague

by Michal Kašpárek on February 4, 2010

Two days ago, an ice-hockey match between Kometa Brno and Slavia Prague took place in O2 Arena, the largest hockey stadium in the Czech republic. A funny thing is that there were much more fans of Brno than fans who prefer Slavia. I was there too – and made some videos:

“Get up Brno – Win today!”

Fans of Brno shouting “You are too quiet” at the supporters of Slavia

Kometa lost the game 1:2 in overtime. After a miserable first half of the season, the club is now much stronger and it is possible it will keep itself in the top league for the next season.
