“Full stadium – immediately!” BILD demanded on Thursday. The reaction of many clubs from the Bundesliga and 2nd division: positive.
Leverkusen’s managing director Fernando Carro (57): “Last year, the Bundesliga was the first professional league in Europe that was allowed to resume games with restrictions. We justified the trust placed in us. ”He would like to play“ preferably in September ”in the sold-out stadium.
Frankfurt trainer Oliver Glasner (46): “As athletes, we would like the Deutsche Bank Park to be full.”
CEO Axel Hellmann (50) adds: “We are fighting for the people in the stadium!”
He advocates the 3G variant, according to which vaccinated, recovered and tested people are allowed into the stadium. “We want everyone to participate, we cannot imagine pure access only for vaccinated people.”
Cologne Managing Director Alexander Wehrle (46): “We are of the opinion that full utilization of the stadiums must be possible in compliance with hygiene regulations and tracking with 2G.”
Background: Cologne was the first Bundesliga club to introduce the 2G rule before the start of the season and will only let in recovered and vaccinated fans from the second home game against Bochum (August 28).
Düsseldorf boss Thomas Röttgermann (60) also sees it this way: “The vaccination against the coronavirus is our ticket back to normal, and the numbers clearly confirm that the vaccination protection works. Therefore, from our point of view, there is no longer any need to give vaccinated or recovered people only limited access to the stadiums. “
When asked by BILD, many clubs confirm that they are in constant contact with politics and the health authorities.
Leipzig announces: “We are in good and regular exchange with the authorities and the relevant representatives from politics.”
At Hertha it says: “We have been in very regular contact with politicians since the beginning of the pandemic and always had the feeling that our concepts, suggestions and arguments were heard.”
Other clubs are not so positive about it.
Bielefeld’s managing director Markus Rejek (53): “We feel, like the entire event industry, a little let down by politics. We need more future prospects everywhere, more planning security and we want more courage. ”
Dresden managing director Jürgen Wehlend (55): “We need clear perspectives and real-life decisions from politics and administration!”
Aue managing director Michael Voigt (49): “Who is specifically committed to this in politics? First of all, such a contact must be named by politicians. “
