To prevent such behavior in the future games, we will appoint particular sanctions, including a ban on attending the Lietkabelis home match, if the guilt of potential offenders is going to be properly proved. We appreciate all the fans, who strongly support our team, but we will not tolerate such a disrespectful behavior regarding the opponents, „said Martynas Purlys, director of Lietkabelis.
