The atmosphere at the Danish Cup final to be played on Thursday in Herning probably won't be able to live up to what you normally expect from a Cup final - at least until the 20th minute.

FC Copenhagen-fans encourage all supporters to stay silent within the first twenty minutes of the game in a protest against the fact that the match has been scheduled to take place at MCH Arena in Herning. 

"The fact that the cup final will take place at the country's seventh largest stadium is in sharp contrast to the organizers' statement that the cup final should be the country's biggest football party. Its not a football party, when you prevent tens of thousands of fans from supporting their team at the stadium", say the supporters in a statement of Facebook.

The Cup final was originally scheduled to take place at Brondby stadium but due to safety issues, it was decided to move the final to Herning. 

Chances are you’re about to lose.
