Kick-off 61 minutes late: 1860 stadium announcer Schäch experiences déjà vu. Loudspeaker announcements only in the stands - megaphones for emergencies on the curve.
Lions midfielder Manfred Starke spoke of an “extreme situation.” The delay is a “challenge for every single player’s concentration’. The game between TSV 1860 Munich and Viktoria Köln kicked off with a long delay. The reason was the defective loudspeaker system in the aging football temple on Giesing's Heights.
