Port take on Chinese League One side Changchun Yatai tomorrow (16 Feb) in a pre-season friendly at the PAT. The match, which we expect to be Port’s last warmup before T1 hostilities begin at Chiang Rai next Sunday, pits Jadet’s boys against a side who were relegated from the CSL last season after a […]
In our latest Crystal Balls piece, we welcome new boys Chiang Mai FC to the wonderful world of T1. Yes, Thailand’s second city finally has a team in the top flight, so we asked Chiang Mai fan Richard Keyworth (who runs Chiang Mai FC English Fanzine) for his thoughts on their debut season…
Port travel down the eastern seaboard to Chonburi on Friday 8 May, and The Sandpit is, as usual, organising a fleet (one or two) of minivans for the occasion. We’ve already filled one van so if we get a few more signups we’ll be able to take two. Vans will leave from Pattana School […]

Our series of pre-season previews continues with a look at defending champions Buriram Utd. Will they romp to another title, or will they be hampered by the departure of star player Diogo and rapidly improving rivals like Bangkok Utd and Port? Here’s Buriram fan Jamie Pinder with his thoughts…
With the new season a mere month away, it’s time once again to consult the runes and ask farang fans of rival clubs what they think 2019 has in store for them. And who worse, oops I meant better, to start with than our old friends (we can be nice to them now they’re […]
Despite recent rumours to the contrary, Port will be selling season tickets as per usual for the coming season. This season however only two tickets will be available – the basic Member Card for 1500BHT, and the Premium Card for 3000BHT (which comes with free shirt & scarf). The fancy Dan Platinum Card has […]
