Lokomotiv tracks. Column by Ilya Kazakov

The worst thing that can be done now in relation to Lokomotiv is not knowing what exactly is happening at the very top, trying to guess about Nikolic's new contract, about moving to Luzhniki, about the demolition of the arena in Cherkizovo and the construction of a new stadium near the Rizhskaya metro station. The very letter addressed to the capital's mayor Sergei Sobyanin, published by the Baza Telegram super league channel, is not an official document, but a project with no signature. Judging by the mayor's statement, he regarded the idea of liquidating the Russian Railways Arena for the sake of new high-rise buildings as something absurd and impossible. What other, with what requests and where such messages may lie now is a mystery. One thing is clear - such decisions are not made at the club level, but at a much higher level.
