PSS Diliburkan Setelah Kalah Di Purbalingga

setelah tersingkir di ajang Turnamen Bupati Cup Purbalingga, pemain PSS diliburkan. Manajer tim PSS Drs Rumadi mengatakan, selama ini pemain-pemain justru yang mengajak latihan sendiri dan kebetulan diundang Bupati Cup, sehingga pemain PSS kumpul kembali.

Bahkan saat mengikuti Bupati Cup ada tambahan pemain yang dinilainya cukup lumayan dan akan dipanggil lagi saat membentuk tim PSS yang akan datang. Karena belum ada pembentukan manajemen, sampai saat ini belum ada kegiatan apa pun di PSS. Rumadi berharap, setelah Pemilukada segera diadakan evaluasi dan menentukan langkah buat PSS mendatang.

Menuju Turnamen Bupati Kita Cup Purbalingga

Keberadaan stadion Gelora Goentoer Darjono yang diresmikan oleh Bupati Purbalingga Triyono Budi Sasongko pada 25 November tahun lalu, akan segera dimanfaatkan untuk kompetisi. Hajatan kompetisi Bupati Kita Cup yang akan digelar 22 Mei – 6 Juni 2010 menjadi ajang untuk mengenalkan keberadaan Gelora Goentoer Darjono. Selain itu juga sebagai upaya mempromosikan Purbalingga menjadi tuan rumah kompetisi Divisi II PSSI.

“Ini kesempatan kita untuk mengenalkan bahwa Purbalingga telah memiliki stadion standar nasional. Apalagi Tim Persap masuk dalam kompetisi divisi II PSSI. Mudah-mudahan kita dapat menjadi tuan rumah,” ungkap wakil ketua Persap Arief Hardoyo.

Menurut Arief Hardoyo yang juga ketua panitia pelaksana Bupati Kita Cup, kompetisi akan diikuti 16 kesebelasan dimana 4 diantaranya adalah anggota divisi utama nasional. Mereka adalah PSS Sleman, PSIM Yoryakarta, PPSM Magelang dan PSCS Cilacap. Selain itu juga diikuti tim Divisi II Nasional yakni PERSAP Purbalingga dan PERSIBAS Banyumas.

Sementara, kesebelasan di eks karesidenan Banyumas yang dipastikan mengikuti kompetisi Bupati Kita Cup yakni Serbuk Manjur Cilacap, Mutiara FC Purwokerto, Persiraja Adiraja, Bank Surya Yudha Banjarnegara, Bapor Pertamina Cilacap, Mars Muda Purwokerto, Pawana Banjarnegara, Kedawung FC Banjarnegara dan Taruna Perwira Purbalingga.

“Untuk kompetisi ini kami telah siapkan hadiah total Rp. 27 juta. Nantinya akan diambil 4 tim terbaik yang akan mendapat piala tetap dan piala bergilir bupati Purbalingga serta uang pembinaan,” terang Arief.

Bupati Baru Harus Bawa PSS Ke Liga Super

Bupati Sleman yang baru nanti, siapa pun orangnya harus bisa membawa PSS ke Liga Super. Bahkan kini pengurus PSS belum berani melangkah karena masih menunggu siapa yang akan menjadi Bupati Sleman mendatang. Hal itu disampaikan ketua Slemania R Supri Yoko saat dihubungi, kemarin.

Yoko memaklumi jika sampai kini manajemen belum melakukan evaluasi dan menentukan langkah, karena menunggu hasil Pemilukada. Menurutnya, pada kompetisi mendatang sudah saatnya PSS punya target ke Liga Super, karena sarana dan prasarana sudah memadahi. Selain memanfaatkan pemain lokal, PSS harus menambah pemain berpengalaman dan menggunakan pemain asing. Karena tanpa pemain asing bakal sulit mengejar target.

Dengan demikian dana yang dibutuhkan PSS akan lebih besar dari sebelumnya. Pada dua tahun kompetisi ini PSS tanpa bantuan APBD. Dalam kompetisi mendatang PSS harus bisa mendapatkan bantuan dana dari APBD.
Untuk pelatih , Slemania mengharapkan Daniel Roekito bisa bergabung. Kalau tidak, harus pelatih yang sejajar dengan Daniel.

Original Six Arenas Compared

I don't have any new drawings for now, I've been really busy, and it may be a while before you see anything new. Enjoy looking at the archived drawings. In the mean time, I've been interested in the original six teams and their original buildings for a while now. With the Stanley Cup Finals looming, I would like to rank and compare each of these buildings post-mortem.

#1 Chicago Stadium - Chicago Blackhawks
Built 1929 Closed 1994
Capacity 17,313 (1993)

This was likely the best hockey arena ever constructed. The amazing thing about Chicago Stadium to me was its size. It had a seating capacity of 17,313 when it closed and was never expanded or had its seating bowl significantly modified. If it were still being used today it would have a larger capacity than 4 current NHL arenas. The other impressive aspect of Chicago Stadium is the cantilevering of the balconies and lack of obstructed views compared to other arenas of the time. Though there were a few posts on the ends, the vast majority of seats had outstanding, intimate views of the ice surface. It was also the loudest building in the NHL and had one of the largest pipe organs ever built. One of the few shortfalls of this arena was the size of the rink itself, 185 x 80.

#2 Olympia Stadium - Detroit Red Wings
Built 1927, Expanded 1965, Closed 1980
Capacity 11,500 (1927) 14,063 (1964) 16,375 w/SRO (1979)

This is my favorite of the original six arenas (as a Red Wings fan), though it wasn't better than Chicago Stadium as a hockey arena. The balcony was slung right over this ice like in Boston and Chicago, so the views from the upper level seating were tremendous. This arena was also a forerunner in value added seating, as a level of "Wing-Hi Boxes" was constructed above the balcony in the 1970's and club seating arrangements and restaurants were available at the Olympia before they were mainstream. The main Grand River Avenue entrance was not ornate, but classic nonetheless. Obstructed views were an issue, but were not as severe as at Boston Garden. The 1965 addition meshed seamlessly with the original construction on the inside, but looked atrocious from the outside.

#3 Maple Leaf Gardens - Toronto Maple Leafs
Built 1931 Closed 1999
Capacity 13,542 (1931) 15,728 (1995)

This arena looks so good from the outside, they made it into a trophy (Conn Smythe). With ornate brickwork and a vaulted roof, this was the one of the most handsome looking arena exteriors ever designed. The interior seating arrangement was not overwhelming however. As constructed, the Gardens did not have a balcony, rather one monolithic square/octagonal shaped seating bowl. Balconies were added later to the ends of the arena. This design led to very few obstructed views and a large portion of seating positioned along the side boards, which was good. However, seating in the back rows were farther away than in any other original six building.

#4 The Forum - Montreal Canadiens
Built 1924, Expanded 1949, Renovated 1968, Closed 1996
Capacity 9,300 (1924) 15,500 (1949) 16,197 + 1,600 SRO (1993)

This arena had more hockey history than any other on this list, hosting 25 Stanley Cup Champion teams (23 for the Canadiens and 2 for the Maroons). The arena itself was a fairly basic seating bowl all around the rink, with smallish seating balconies added on each end of the arena. Suite balconies were also added above the seating bowl along the sides of the arena. There were several view obstructing roof support columns in the building in the seating bowl running parallel to the side boards until the 1968 renovation. Viewing was aided by a rather steep pitch to the seating bowl around the ice.

#5 Boston Garden - Boston Bruins
Built 1928 Closed 1995
Capacity 13,909

Someone will disagree with my assessment of Boston Garden, but it was very easy to put Boston Garden this low on the list. It was a historic, intimate building, with some very good seats. It is also the only arena I know of that had terraced seating going around the corners and ends in both the lower and upper bowls. Olympia Stadium also had this, but only in the lower bowl. This terracing helped in viewing sightlines for boxing, so you could see over the section next to you toward the ring in the middle of the floor. However, this building had so many ludicrous obstructed views particularly along the side boards tucked under the low slung balcony, that viewing was quite poor for many in the arena, particularly in the back corners of the lower bowl. It was also not a particularly well maintained arena later in its life, with dingy rafters, lack of air conditioning, and a notorious electrical system that cost the Bruins a home Stanley Cup Finals game in 1988.

#6 Madison Square Garden III - New York Rangers
Built 1925 Closed 1968
Capacity 15,925

There are very few pictures of Madison Square Garden III available. However, everything I have read and seen of MSG III indicates that it was a very poor hockey arena. It had three seating levels, but the balcony suffered from the same affliction that America West Arena had when the Phoenix Coyotes moved from Winnipeg. The upper end balconies had no view of the closest goal because the seating was too high above and too close to the ice that the goal was underneath the spectator's line of site. MSG III was much better suited for boxing and basketball than it was for hockey. MSG IV is not without its detractors, but at least the entire rink is viewable.

Rugby Park (2010 Scottish Junior Cup Final)

So the football season was not over yet after all. Last Sunday I decided to take a train to Kilmarnock for the Scottish Junior Cup Final, Largs Thistle v Linlithgow Rose, which was staged at Rugby Park. Kick-off was at 4pm but unfortunately I just missed the 02:12pm train at Glasgow Central. There is only one train an hour to the Ayrshire town on Sundays so I now arrived at Kilmarnock station 5 minutes before kick-off. I ran almost the whole way to the park and took my place amongst the Largs Thistle supporters at 4:04pm. Luckily I had not missed any goals.

The Emirates Cup Final, as the Scottish Junior Cup Final is called nowadays for sponsorship reasons, is the biggest cup competition organised by the Scottish Junior Football Association (SJFA) and all 160 junior teams compete in it. 'Junior' does not refer to the age of the players, these are not youth teams, but means they do not meet the 'senior' teams on a regular basis. 'Senior' football is played in the professional and semi-professional Scottish Premier League and Scottish Football League and in the three senior 'non-leagues', i.e. the Highland League, the East of Scotland League, and the South of Scotland League. The junior teams do not automatically compete in the Scottish Cup however nowadays four junior teams are in the hat for the first-round draw. Irvine Meadow XI even managed to reach the 4th round of the Scottish Cup this season.

The supporters from Linlithgow were allocated the Main Stand and the Theestle fans were given the East Stand. I sat amongst the Largs contingent as they were the underdogs today and I spent my first few days in Scotland in a B&B in the Ayrshire town in 2001. As an added bonus the East Stand was the sun-drenched side of the park which ensured there was an excellent 'cup-final-in-May' feel to the occasion.

The East Region team were the favourites today but Largs made a good fight of it. Eventually Rose full-back Kevin Donnelly scored the only goal just short of the hour mark. Despite ending the game with ten men, Stevie Manson was sent off after a reckless challenge on Alan McCabe, the Rose showed their experience (this was their fourth Junior Cup Final in nine years) and made it through to the end without any real problems.

Theestle were applauded off the park by the 3,000-strong contingent from Largs after a brave performance but it was the team from the east who were handed the cup by first minister Alex Salmond.
