The roll forwards was followed by the roll backwards: The Sly Dogs Marl are now not allowed to participate in a promotion round to the 2nd Bundesliga.
The base and softball association NRW (BSVNRW) has decided. There will be no promotion round to the 2nd Bundesliga. Instead, the Association proposes the Ratingen Goose Necks as promoters in the event that a place in the 2nd division becomes free. This causes discomfort among the Sly Dogs from Marl.
Only days ago, the association launched a promotion round, which was also enthusiastically accepted by the Sly Dogs: Until then, the season, which was under the effects of the pandemic, had the character of a friendly game. The results were accordingly. Marl is last.
There was also a game plan for the promotion round: This weekend the Sly Dogs would have played against Solingen Alligators II.
Rejection remains a mystery to the Sly Dogs
How it came to a cancellation of this round remains in the fog. In a circular from the BSVNRW it is said that a promotion round is only possible for the top three teams in the NRW League. Only Ratingen has signaled willingness to do so from this group.
“It’s like Cologne clique,” Kaiser railed. “We had planned everything for Sunday, postponed other games and now it’s all for the cat.” Not quite: Sunday the Sly Dogs play in Solingen – to be able to name a second successor. It is doubtful whether this can become important.
