The department head of SV Heimstetten met on Thursday evening for the Corona crisis meeting. In the end, it was agreed: "We are not going to take any action for now," says division head Max Reng.
Heimstetten– Means: coaches as well as players of the regional league continue to receive their salary. The department management will meet again in early May "to reassess the situation," says Reng.
The head of the division praises the decision to postpone the European Championship - "because then we could still play after June 30th". However, he points out that many contracts are only valid until then. If league games were scheduled later, "we would have to renegotiate", says Reng. In any case, he thinks it is “very unlikely” that the current season will still be played regularly. "The current situation will affect all clubs financially," he is convinced. Regional leagues with a higher budget may be more affected. “With an average of 1,000 viewers, their budget is very different. On the other hand, we expect 250 to 300 spectators, and we plan our expenses accordingly. ”
Although the game cancellations do affect the SVH financially - especially when it comes to entrance fees and income from the kiosk business. The club had to cancel the Bayern Trophy at Easter, a two-day youth tournament with around 60 teams. "The club could have earned something there," says Reng. Like other regional leagues, the SVH also hopes for help from the professional sector and support from the association. However, the head of department emphasizes: “I do not think that there will be a lot left with us. That's why we try to position ourselves in such a way that we manage the situation as best we can. "
