I enjoy watching football every now and then, but am generally put off by the bling, big money, gold-plated ferrari culture that seems so prevalent in the game, so [url= http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/41902664 ]this story[/url] was a delight to read, excellent to see a club that is part of the community succeeding.

I live in Östersund . one of my projects at work was getting the stadium ready for European football.

The Guardian also wrote a great piece too

Just been reading about them on the beeb. Warms the heart of a cynical football fan and I agree with the OP's sentiments, especially since most of us wont earn in 10 years what the likes of Wayne Rooney earn in a week. Thankfully community focused clubs (like FCUM etc) are on the rise in this country.

I live with a Swedish guy who was telling me about them recently. Pretty awesome achievement. And Billy Reid as assistant. Great to see.

I worked on a few wind farms in the north of Sweden so occasionally flew to Östersund (I normally flew to Skellefteå). That part is Sweden, and the people who live there, have a special place in my heart. Thanks for sharing.
