The news spread yesterday morning and hit the fans of SpVgg Unterhaching like a club.
For the first time in over half a year, Hachinger could have played a home game in front of spectators today against Vfb Lübeck (kick-off: 8 p.m.).
But now nothing will come of it.
Unterhaching - According to the third division club, the Munich district office made the "urgent recommendation" on Thursday, due to rising corona numbers in the district, to let the game take place in camera.
SpVgg Unterhaching is now complying with this.
"After this advice from our local health authority, it was the only logical consequence for us to play without a spectator," says President Manfred Schwabl.
“Of course we were looking forward to the long-awaited return and support from our fans.
On the other hand, in the last few months we have always clearly emphasized that health comes first and that, in the end, politics always has the last word.
If the current situation does not allow a game with spectators, then of course we accept this. "
According to the current incidence values in Unterhaching (22.6 in the Munich district) and the neighboring districts, the game could have taken place in front of spectators tonight.
Explanation: Although the value in Munich as an adjacent district as of Thursday is 45.1 - and thus above the limit of 35 - overall, the numbers for the adjacent districts are below the critical mark.
The TSV 1860 Munich and Türkgücü Munich should meanwhile benevolently take note of the news from the suburb.
After all, it seemed until the end that SpVgg Unterhaching was allowed to play in front of spectators on this match day, in contrast to the Löwen and newly promoted Türkgücü ((against 1. FC Kaiserslautern in the first third division home game in the club's history) - and that, although between the Hachinger Sportpark and the Grünwalder Stadium are just five kilometers as the crow flies, so now all three clubs have to compete in front of empty stands.
