They are only a point behind the visitors Rayong and a win would leave FC Phuket in prime position to qualify whereas a loss could effectively end their prospects of promotion to Division One, depending on whether Chainat also win.
Arjan Songsamssub’s side have been imperious in front of their home fans this season and six points from the remaining two home game will be enough to secure promotion to Division One.
The club stand at something of a crossroads and if they fail to gain promotion Songsamssub, who has transformed the team’s fortunes, is likely to leave for new pastures. The players have demonstrated that they are far too good to remain in the regional divisions and star performers such as midfielder Diarra Ali will probably move on if FC Phuket do not gain promotion.
The match is scheduled to take place at the Surakul Stadium, kick off 6pm with tickets available for as little as 50 Baht.

If they're "far too good to remain in the regional divisions" then presumably they'll go up!
ReplyDeleteWhat you mean is 'they're far too good for the southern division.'
The fact that they have only managaed to win 3 out of 8 play-off matches would seem to suggest that they aren't "far too good..."
Besides, it's not all over for Phuket even if they do finish third (see my comments after the Chainat story)
