The Hødd Post
Match10 Apr 2027
The wait goes on for Hødd
5 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.

The step up is real for Rasmus Holten
At 22 he is doing things this season that he could not do last season, and doing them every week. Form comes and goes; this has stayed long enough to be called something else.

Sondre Fosnæss Hanssen in a row with a teammate
It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Hødd this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Graduation day at Hødd
4 boys move up, and somewhere in the building the people who coached them at twelve are quietly having the best morning of their working year. Nothing about this shows up in a result and it is why the academy exists.

Words at Hødd training over how hard people work
Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Edu Espiau is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.
The terraces12 Apr 2027
One of their own: Johan Bakke
He is 23 and the ground already sings his name, which is a thing that happens to local boys and almost never to signings. Everything from here is measured against an affection he did nothing to earn except be from here.

One of our own: Patrick Selnaes joins the Hødd first team
Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Patrick Selnaes is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

One of our own: Alexander Elyounoussi joins the Hødd first team

Hødd promote Aron Elyounoussi from within
The academy exists for exactly this morning. Aron Elyounoussi has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.
