Just 1000 spectators were allowed to pursue the home game between Eintracht Frankfurt and Armenia Bielefeld (0: 2) in the stadium last Friday. Thus, the arena in the city forest was at 1.94 percent. In the long run, even for a club hounded before the outbreak of the Corona Pandemic, Club, as Eintracht Frankfurt is dangerous to exist. This is certainly valid for the other Hessian professional sports, which are even more relevant than the professional football of the revenue from the ticketing and the marketing of the sports facilities.
In order to achieve at least a 25-percent stadium and indoor use, Frankfurt’s CEO Axel Hellman, Darmstadt President Rudder Fitch and the Managing Director of the Handball Bundesliga HSG Regular Bjorn Sap, which is at the same time speaker of the community Team sport Hesse, in the name The Hessian Professional Clubs a letter to Prime Minister Buffer.
Mark Sober slammed a Bavarian way, we demand a Hessian way.
Axel Hellman
After a first protest letter, the trio had collided by video with Buffer last week. However, in the subsequent Prime Minister Conference, no national audience scheme for the professional sport was found. Now the Hessische Profiles demand a special way in the country.
We have written a letter to the Hessian Prime Minister Volker Buffer on the Hessian Prime Minister Volker Buffer and call for Hesse a witness of the nationwide nonstain. We demand a 25 percent utilization of the stadiums and halls, by the way, Buffer has proposed even at the last Prime Minister Conference, Mark Sober now hit a Bavarian way, we demand a Hessian way of reason, explains Hellman in conversation with the Prime Minister.
The CEO of Eintracht Frankfurt emphasizes: It can not be that for professional sports, especially for soccer, harder standards are considered for other social areas – and above all the Bundesliga has to pretend a policy capability that in Central areas did not act consistently and has not been able to rectify until today a decision in the vaccine question.
Demand for location-related viewing
In addition, the clubs demand prepare the systematic opening in certain scenarios. These opening concepts must be planned now, and not only when the Corona wave is flattened, says Hellman. He is expecting the focus to focus on local events: We have to take away from political policy resolutions and pure symbolic policy to a location-related viewing. You have to look at the framework conditions of each stadium and any hall: how does the arrival and departure run? Is that a hall with an access or are there 10, 12 or 15 inputs? Can you put people in the chessboard pattern or not? What is possible with the local health insurance offices with hygiene concepts?
While BVB-Boss Hans-Joachim Wake already announced these days to examine legal action, the responsible persons of the Hessian clubs so far rely exclusively on dialogue with politics to achieve their goals. We are still in a phase of dialogue with the Hessian state government. It would be good if we could move on the way of dialogue – and not on the legal – something for the sport, says Hellman.
