Fan trades 5 kilos of FISH for ticket at Bodo/Glimt vs Spurs in UEL semi-final

Fans of Tottenham's Europa League opponents have exchanged buckets of fishing and reindeer meat for a ticket during Thursday's game.

About 50,000 Wannabe Bodo/GlimT supporters compete for 480 general sales cards that are available on the club of 8,270 capacity.

The Norwegian champions want to destroy a 3-1 deficit of the first stage and reach their first European final.

Torbjorn Eide, a production boss on a fish farm in Torsken, told the Norays State broadcaster NRK that he offered five kilograms of semi-baked Boknaafisk for a ticket.

The trek of fish, worth around £ 181, managed to seduce a fellow fan to give up their seats.

'We produce the best Bokna fish from Norway, and it may not be possible to get it in Bodo City (which is eight hours away). So I thought someone might like it, Eide said.

'You know, those among us who work in fish are often creative.

“I didn't really think it would work, but then a man showed up who wanted to try Boknafisk.”

Boknafish, who is typical cod, is partly dried in the cold outdoors and is a traditional dish in North Norway.

Oystein Aanes, who bought the fish, said to NRK: 'It was just something funny. The ticket was actually for my brother, who had to travel from Oslo, but he didn't make it anyway.

'I have never bought Bokna fish, I don't even know how to prepare it.

“The fish is for my mother so that she can take care of it.”

Bodo/Glimt is already the first Norwegian side to reach the semi -final of a European competition. From Scandinavia as a whole, only Malmo and Gothenberg, both from Sweden, have reached a final.

Located in the Arctic Circle, they have already beaten clubs such as Lazio, Olympiacos, Twente, Besiktas and Red Star this season.

Another fan, Nils Erik Oskal, was inspired by the fish trade, so thought he would try his luck with Reindder Meat. Five kilograms, to be precise.

'I was number 40,000 in the queue or something. I had some extra meat left, “he told NRK.

“I thought it should be possible to do it with reindeer meat. Someone chewed on it. It didn't take long.

'It was not a cheap ticket seen which usually costs reindeer meat. But it's really the same, I can experience something great. '
