Nam Dinh fans and Thien Truong Stadium are keywords that help to associate with the enthusiasm in cheering for football, but there are also many times when yellow shirt fans and this place make Vietnamese football confused.

In 2005, in the match between Nam Dinh and Dong Tam Long An, players from both teams clashed on the field, and referee Nguyen Quoc Hung bled after trying to stop players from both teams. However, more noteworthy was the incident where reporter Duy Bui (Sports 24h Newspaper) was brutally treated by stadium security, who prevented him from working while taking pictures of the incident.

According to records at that time, reporter Duy Bui was asked by stadium security to temporarily hold his camera, prevented, handcuffed and escorted into the tunnel of stand A.

"Someone took my phone and deleted the photos I had taken and I knew for sure that he was Nguyen Van Diep because last year at this stadium, we recorded this employee chasing and trying to beat a Hanoi T&T player and provided it to the organizers as evidence to discipline this stadium...", quoted reporter Duy Bui.

(Baonghean.vn) - In the past visits to Thien Truong, the Nghe An team has only won 3 points once. The upcoming match in round 18 is also an opportunity for SLNA to enter the Top. On the contrary, if they stumble, coach Duc Thang and his team will find it difficult to maintain their current position.
