[edit] Demand for a new Stadium
In recent years HBK supporters have started to demand a new stadium, since when the club have reached international competions, they havent been allowed to play on Örjans Vall, they have instead been forced to play at Ullevi in Göteborg or Olympia in Helsingborg. But so far no decisions have been made of where or when a potential new stadium will be built in Halmstad.
