Landskrona IP - 12,000 Capacity Landskrona IP or actually Karlslund IP to give it its original name
is a relatively basic stadium that holds around 12,000. There is one
main stand that curves away from the pitch in the middle but offers
some decent views of the action. Behind each goal is a steep open air
terrace - the west end is where the home fans (known as the English
Stand) congregate, and away fans are alloctated the east end. The home
fans, The Fanaticos, are one of the best known in this area of Sweden.
The north stand is also a terrace, raised around 5 feet from the
playing field so that all views are good. The ground opened in 1924
and has changed little since. The record attendance is over 18,000 in
1959 in a game versus Degersfors IF. The club have explored the
possibility of a new stadium although based on their modest league
position it wont be necessary for a while.
Who Plays There? Landskrona have had a yo-yo existence in the Swedish leagues for the
past few years. Their best ever finish in the Allsvenksan was a second
place in 1938 and they have also won the cup once in 1972. In the last
few years they had a four season spell in the top league, dropping down
in 2005 to the second division where they had been in mid table ever
since.
How to get to the Landskrona IP The ground is located on the north side of the outskirts of
Landskrona, handily placed for those arriving by train. Trains run
hourly at least from Helsingborgs to Malmo central, around 15 minutes
from the former and 30 minutes from the latter. A return ticket from
Copenhagen/Kastrup airport is 242 Danish Kroner and the journey takes
around 55 minutes. When you leave the station you can get a bus from
outside in the direction of Karlslundsvag. Alternatively it is a 15
minute walk, turning right and following Ringvagen, crossing the first
roundabout and then turning right at next into Karlslundsvag. The
Stadium is on the right 100 yards down this road.
How to get a ticket for Landskrona IP The 12,000 capacity stadium is rarely half full these days so
tickets can be purchased on the gate. 160 Swedish Kroner (around £12)
gets you a seat in the main stand and will keep you dry, whilst you can
take your place on the open terrace for 120SKR (£10). Tickets can be
bought in advance from http://www.ticnet.se as well, with collection from the ticket office in the main stand.
