CSKA = Red Army
Dynamo = Police/KGB
Lokomotiv = Railways

Etc, in all former Eastern Bloc countries.

In the communist system, the footballers for those clubs were nominally and sometimes quite literally employees of those industries.
Our original name was Sportclub but because our club was associated with the Tsarist regime and the Third Bulgarian kingdom before the communist co-up, they made us change it to quite a few others before they officially made it Lokomotiv in 1951.
 
Especially when it's sandwiched between the first and second games of the season too.

Do you remember when we had to play Sevilla away on a Thursday night and then had to go to Stamford Bridge for a noon kick-off on the Saturday???

:mourwhat:

I'm still pissed off about that.

Plus that twat of a referee in Sevilla awarded them a penalty and said that, despite acknowledging that Robinson had successfully intercepted the ball, he awarded the penalty because Robinson brought the Sevilla player down AFTERWARDS!!

One of the most ridiculous refereeing decisions I've ever seen.

Sorry, I just needed to get that off my chest.

We don't have that concrete stand without seats anymore. One of our previous owners lied to us that he will build a new stand for the more active fans, but just demolished the previous one.

And right now we have a temporary stand made of iron behind one of the goalkeepers :D
A temporary stand you say, is it on wheels and tied together with cable ties?

Nope there are 3 modules for around 250 people each and they are put together.It is where our hardcore section of fans stand during games. If any of your first 11 players come to see it, it will be quite a view.

We are promised new stadium within 3 years but in Bulgaria such promises are so common that nobody believes them anymore :D

Btw, we should have finished second last season, but the referees were in favour of CSKA Sofia, the Bulgarian teams with most trophies and didn't let us win in our last game.

We've got decent side for our standards, a good manager who brought 2 Bulgarian cups versus our biggest rivals Botev Plovdiv and CSKA.

Anyway, we have little to none chances versus your team but at least it will be a game to remember with years to come for our side and supporters.

Our budget is less than 2 million pounds per year so just the TV rights would be huge money for the club but don't be fooled just by that, we compete well versus sides like Ludogorets, Levski and CSKA who have budgets by the range of 15-20 million pounds.
