JAKARTA, July 22, 2018 (News Wires) - Irate Indonesian football fans ripped plastic seats from the stands and hurled them onto the pitch at a stadium scheduled to host the Asian Games next month, an official said Sunday. A league match between Sriwijaya FC and Arema FC ended in chaos on Saturday afternoon when the fans tore up seats at the Gelora Sriwijaya Stadium in Palembang on the island of Sumatra. Pictures showed multi-coloured chairs strewn across the outer edges of the ground, which is bordered by an athletics track. "We are very upset with the supporters who ruined the seats in Gelora Sriwijaya during the game," Rusli Nawi, the stadium's security supervisor, said. The stadium had been renovated for the Games, which are being held in Palembang and Jakarta from August 18 to September 2.
