The fans of Borussia Dortmund and FC Schalke 04 are commonly seen arm in arm. And if, if, may need to intervene the police.
But in this strange corona time with threatening high but abstract incidences make at least the boardrooms of the precinct clubs common cause. For the resolutions of the federal and state of approval - or non-approval - of spectators continue to ensure turmoil in the Football Bundesliga. The walk in court seems close.
The point at issue
Chancellor Olaf Scholz and the country chiefs had decided that because of the omicron variant is waited with opening steps for major events - until the 9th of February, uniform rules should be agreed. One day later, the approval of up to 10,000 people (a maximum of 25 percent of total capacity) was allowed in Bavaria, the state government in Baden-Württemberg followed on Wednesday with a decision for up to 6000 spectators in the stadiums with 2G-Plus rule. However, North Rhine-Westphalia's Prime Minister Hendrik Must (CDU) said on Wednesday: It can cause large-scale no signal, give sweeping easing. The NRW-control with so far only 750 allowed fans concerns six clubs alone in the Bundesliga.
The patchwork
If it remains in the coming days with these restrictions is at 21. Match after the short international break from 4 February abundantly clear what upset the Bundesliga bosses. In the huge Olympic Stadium 3000 people at the game against VFL Bochum must be there on Friday night, Augsburg could have more than twice as many fans see the game against Union. Bayern should get rid of 10,000 tickets for the big game against RB Leipzig. The NRW clubs Bielefeld, Cologne and Dortmund, however would get very little encouragement from the stands. In Dortmund's stadium with the legendary South Stand 750 people seem quite lost.
The consequences
In the audience question, it is only superficially about the good atmosphere in the stadium and the return to normalcy. The clubs need the revenue from ticket sales. The Cologne Rundschau reckoned ago on Wednesday, FC escaped at every home game without spectators about 1.8 million euros. That hurts - even more so if they do significantly more viewers are left to the stadiums at other sites with perhaps even comparable Corona numbers again. Show all the available data that football stadiums under 2G conditions and in compliance with the drawn up with the relevant regulatory requirements and concepts no loci of infection, said Stuttgart's CEO Thomas Hitzlsperger. The current regulations ignore it and make the entire organized arms with almost insoluble challenges, both financially and organizationally and emotionally.
The threat
Borussia Dortmund CEO Hans-Joachim Wake has clearly announced first very, the NRW decisions just to look at, and to consider whether we can control in summary proceedings. CEO Bernd Schröder from second division club Schalke joined as RB Leipzig CEO Oliver Mintzlaff and Alexander Were, Managing Director of 1. FC Cologne. The prospects of success are According to experts, not so bad. I believe that a lawsuit has a good chance of success, said the Gelsenkirchen lawyer Arndt Kemp gens the newspapers of the Funk Media Group (Wednesday). The Düsseldorf lawyer Matthias Lang also questions the number 750. Where do they come from? There are no scientific evidence that this ceiling brings something.
The rejection
As clear as the Bundesliga leaders would have liked, the range of opinions in the population is not shining. A survey by the polling institute YouGov According advocate 57 percent of respondents said that there will be no immediate nationwide partial opening of the stadiums for fans. 29 percent of Germans reject this scheme, however, and more spectators at Bundesliga games would wish again.
The comparison
Were had noted that it was incomprehensible when in a closed room in the Elbe Philharmonic Hall in Hamburg of 2100 possible audiences in 2000 and a few kilometers further in the Hamburg stadium also in 2000, because that's just the limit. The world-famous concert hall supervising authority defended himself: You can dissatisfaction in arms understand, spokesman ENSO Hermann said before the Hamburg Department of Culture. But you can not play the areas up to today. The Prime Minister rightly said that culture has a special meaning. Even and especially now. Especially since the Delphi have voluntarily reduced to 1,300 visitors.
The -satisfied
As expected, the Bavarian clubs did not criticize much on Wednesday. The state government for Prime Minister Markus Söder (CSU) has finally gone further than everyone else. I believe that it is important to set this signal at this time, said Bavaria Munich's CEO Oliver Khan. We need reasonable solutions, not just now for football, basically in all corporate areas. For the Augsburg coach Markus Easier, the different audience specifications in the federal states have to do with happiness. There's a lucky factor and there is the viewer factor, said the coach on Wednesday. The one would have in the question of the fan return to Corona times luck, the other bad luck.
