March 7 - An unusual atmosphere hung over Slask Wroclaw's stadium on Saturday as the home side warmed up in front of their supporters, and TV cameras were in place, despite the growing certainty that Wisla Krakow would not show up for the match.

Wisla announced on Friday they would boycott the Polish second-tier league match after Slask barred their travelling supporters from attending citing safety concerns. Leaders Wisla said they would not play a game in which their fans were excluded.
