President of «Poltava» Serhiy Ivashchenko commented on the report about the potential non-admission of the team to UPL.
Serhiy Ivashchenko (photo: scpoltava.com)— All the documents regarding the stadium are in order and everything stated in them is true. We are preparing for the season and we really want there to be a Poltava derby. We have equal and friendly relations with «Vorskla».
— But it seems that «Vorskla» does not think so. They literally accuse your club of lies and machinations.
— I would not want to discuss any accusations right now. We will come to an agreement with the management of «Vorskla» and will tell everything. Everything will be fine with the stadium and the home arena. I repeat — we have submitted documents to UAF and everything mentioned about the stadium is true.
— «Vorskla» says otherwise. Someone from your side, to put it mildly, is being disingenuous…
— Someone is being disingenuous. We will resolve this issue and we will definitely announce everything publicly.
— «Poltava» had a good season, and the promotion to UPL was not spontaneous. The team was always at the top of the standings. Why is the stadium issue being resolved now — at the last moment?
— In the last round, anything could happen. «Metalist» is a tough opponent and no one guaranteed us a way into the Premier League. Such a task was not set before the team in winter. The task was — to win every match. I can say one thing — I really want «Vorskla» to win against «Kudrivka», stay in UPL and for the fans to enjoy the Poltava derby.
