Take On Me

Well, here’s the plan. A site dedicated to Norwegian and Scandinavian football for those who of you aren’t big enough a-ha fans* to have learnt the language yourself. You will always be able to get results and the bare facts online, but this is an attempt to provide the more in-depth and extensive coverage in English not available anywhere else. As with most websites it is very much a work in progress, and will not get it’s official ‘launch’ before the Norwegian season starts again in April 2009. Until then, the website will hopefully start to take shape and resemble something with a useful and interesting content. I will hopefully be back soon to deliver a review of the season now coming to its end in Norway, with a specific focus on the champions-elect, Stabæk.

Cheers,
Christian
