Xanthi at this moment:

Tudor selected these 20 players for tomorrows game: Olsen, Melissas, Vitor, Malezas, Tzavellas, Leovac, Skondras, Kitsiou, Kace, Sabo, Charisis, Tziolis, Golasa, Cimirot, Pelkas, Mak, Mistakidis, Jairo, Athanasiadis, and Berbatov.

The deal with Galitsios is about to crash. There is confusion about the the lenght of the contract.

And we are linked to Finnish midfielder Kasper Hamalainen. He is 29 and plays currently for Lech Poznan.

We will get 1,200 tickets from Xanthi for this game. So we have almost the same amount of spectators only from PAOK as their average (1,544) in the others games.

Indeed, Blackhawk!

And we are linked to Georgios Galitsios, who last played for Lokeren in Belgium and has no contract right now.

Our former player and coach Pavlos Dermitzakis is talking with PAOK (Nikos Vezirtzis) for the job as the new team manager.

We are also interested in keeper Panagiotis Tsintota (22) from Levadiakos.

Thanks PAOKSWEDEN and Teke. Off corse there are differences between Holland and Greece. But cities like Komotini, Xanthi and Veria have about 66K inhabitants and then there are de villages around. And Thessaloniki not far away. One of my cousins always goes to those matches and the stadiums are always filled with PAOKtsides from everywhere. Tickets are about 10-15 euro. Greeks are considered to be great and passionate fans here in Holland. Everywhere they go they do not outnumber the homebased fans but their singing sounds double so loud. And than still > 2K spectators??? Ioannina 111K inhabitants. Atromitos are in Athens. Maybe it is the economic crisis. Or the subscrivers to NOVA. Of topic: Where from Greece are your roots PAOKSWEDEN? Mine are from Kilkis but when I am in Greece I am in Chalkidiki. One hour drive from Toumba.

SWEDEN your status included de play-offs. What a waste. How are the figures in Sweden? In Holland this season so far: 1 Ajax 48.243 2 Feyenoord 47.500 3 PSV 33.388 4 FC Twente 25.425 5 sc Heerenveen 23.452 6 FC Groningen 20.729 7 FC Utrecht 17.163 8 Vitesse 16.483 9 AZ Alkmaar 14.638 10 Roda JC Kerkrade 14.204 11 Willem II 12.251 12 PEC Zwolle 12.146 13 ADO Den Haag 11.846 14 Heracles Almelo 11.591 15 NEC Nijmegen 11.336 16 De Graafschap 9.972 17 SC Cambuur 9.765 18 SBV Excelsior 3.359 (and max. capacity)

I think it's reliable. It refers to the official Supa Liek site and there only the matches count with fans. Therefore PAOK has not the 17 games due to ban. This year Pana has only 5 games with fans therefore only those games are counted,

Last year we had 10,547: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2014?15_Superleague_Greece

The avarage has dropped indeed. But also for most of the other teams. These are the averages after last weekends games 1 Olympiakos 19,998 2 PAOK 13,670 3 AEK 10,113 4 Panathinaikos 9,122 5 Iraklis 4,321 6 Panetolikos 2,255 7 PAS Giannina 1,814 8 Veria 1,725 9 Platanias 1,679 10 Asteras Tripolis 1,666 11 Skoda Xanthi 1,544 12 Panionios 1,459 13 Panthrakikos 1,389 14 Levadiakos 1,078 15 Atromitos 1,060 16 Kalloni 945 Only 6 clubs have an average of more than 2,000. Professional football in Greece......... Veria have already played at home against AEK, PAOK, Pana, Oly, Iraklis, Atromitos and Asteras and still can not manage to fill the stadium.

Sparti, ambitious leaders in group 3 of Gamma Ethniki, want Salpi to join them in their dream for promotion to the second level and beyond.

Don't know. But with this pace (18 points clear) and the games against PAOK and Pana at home and only AEK, Paninios and Asteras away you guys must be champions after MD 21, I guess.

April 12th, 2016 we will have our 90th birthday as PAOK. We probably will play a friendly game against a great name of the past and former opponent. Names that circulate are Milan, Ajax and Napoli.

Kostas Pantelidis is considered to be the better Greek darter. He will play in the Championship of the BDO, the other dart federation, that will start in January.

John Michael won his game in the preliminary round 2-0 with a nice 161 finish. In the first rond he lost to the number 7 seed, James Wade. 3-0. Michael was not able to catch the pace of Wade. He had some chances but failed at the crucial moments.

Croatian connection!

Our new Tasos Kakos is former referee Lubos Michel.
