SlagelseGround: Slagelse Stadion Visits: 1 Date: 27th July 2013 Match: Vestsjælland - AGF 0-2 (Superligaen) Attendance: 3 859 In 2015 FC Vestsjælland went bankrupt. The club regained the name Slagelse BI and started all over in Sjællendsserien.
Living in southern Sweden going to Denmark is by far my easiest trip abroad. Since I wanted an easy trip for this weekend I looked at fixtures in Denmark and was pleased to notice it was possible to attend three matches on Saturday and Sunday. My first match was the Superligaen encounter between Vestsjælland and Aarhus GF (AGF). FC Vestsjælland are from Slagelse and was established in 2008 as the professional part of the old club (Slagelse BI). The youth teams from Slagelse will continue to use the name Slagelse. The 2013/14 season is Vestsjælland´s first ever season in Denmark´s top division. Slagelse is only 220 km from Kristianstad and with a 5pm kick-off this very warm Saturday afternoon I didn´t have to leave kome until after noon. I then crossed the Öresund bridge for the first time by car this year and with relatively light traffic I arrived at Slagelse Stadion by 3.15. My car showed 30°C as I parked outside the ground! Slagelse Stadion has a capacity of around 10 000 and used to have three sides of terracing and 2 800 seats in the West Stand. In 2012 a new main stand was built in the east side of the ground and in total Slagelse Stadion nowdays has around 3 500 seats. Away fans are in the most northern block of the West Stand. They can also choose to stand in the very basic North End of the ground.
