The six boys behind the tifo worked from mid-February until the week before the home premiere, marking their first time creating such a display, according to an official source. According to SVT Östergötland, Ville Fallman described this as the first time they have made a tifo, with an official source confirming there will be more tifos in the future. The exact date of the home premiere has not been disclosed.
Previously, there were the 'big' Kopparslagarna, but they have quit, an official source reported. ÅFF was relegated from Allsvenskan in 2015 and has been down in division two and back, according to an official source. The response from ÅFF's players left something to be desired, an official source noted, with only three players thanking them while the others went directly to the locker room.
It's fun to support your team.
According to SVT Östergötland, Harry Wretman described that only three thanked, the others went directly to the locker room, and Ville Fallman added that they think that was a bit bad. The fabrics are still completely white, an official source stated. It is unknown which three players thanked the boys and why the others did not, or how the ÅFF club management views the boys' tifo efforts.
According to SVT Östergötland, Harry Wretman described it as fun to support your team, and Ville Fallman speculated on the club's future, while Harry Wretman predicted a timeline for promotion. What the future tifos will look like or contain has not been revealed.
This is the first time we make a tifo. Previously, there were the 'big' Kopparslagarna, but they have quit.
Only three thanked, the others went directly to the locker room.
We think that was a bit bad.
That's a tough one. Maybe in three years.
In five years. Two years in Ettan, two years in Superettan. Then they go up.
