The boiling porridge over the multifunctional arena in Gargždai began to push through the edges of the "idea pot". Finally, the Klaipėda district municipality, led by Mayor Bronius Markauskas, decided to abandon this idea. On Thursday, the Gargždai football community, which was fed with promises of an arena where it would be possible to play in the winter, planned a picket near the municipality on Thursday.
