Hi guys. I am thinking about coming over from the UK for RBK v Aston Villa in the NextGen series, though I need to be sure the match will be played at Lerkendal. Can anybody confirm this? Has RBK announced any details on their website about this tournament?

- The plan around it all are 100 percent professional and in addition, the organizers costs for the entire squad with support. There are 6 games (3 home and 3 away in the fall) and we will play home games on the main track at Lerkendal. Thus we are assured regardless of "floodlit matches with the dew on the grass" during the period August to November, he said.

I guess it will be very silent around the stadium before this U19 game. So you shouldn't hurry. Enjoy the city centre instead.

Thanks for your replies guys!

Only one day to go before I am flying. It is going to be my first visit to Norway. Really looking forward to it! Luckily the weather is not too bad yet. I was expecting it to be a lot worse at the time I booked this trip.
