Mordovia have promised free entry to fans who bring a packet of cigarettes to the stadium ahead of their game against Fakel Voronezh.

Mordovia have come up with the lung-burning plan as a way of bringing fans into the 12,000-seater Stadion Start for the match on on March 26.

Quite why the second-tier side's owners want cigarettes (and presumably not even for themselves) is anyone’s guess. 

Here's hoping their survival hopes don't go up in smoke. (Alright, alright... our coats are on.)
