Spectators are still not allowed to play test matches. In the district, the minds of those responsible are therefore heated in some places.

Dorfen / Erding - The man was angry. It was the fourth time that he had cycled to the football pitch in Dorfen, but it was the end of the line in front of the gate. The Bavarian Football Association (BFV) does not allow spectators to attend test matches, and TSV Dorfen admittedly also adheres to this. Therefore the 4-3 test match success against SV Lerchenau (we reported) could only be followed from the street. “The mood among the fans was already tense. Some have grumbled ", reports an eyewitness from Dorfen, who also says:" The TSV is doing it absolutely right. "
FC Türkgücü Erding: Nobody understands the decision - there is enough space in the Erdinger Stadium for the necessary distance
Unrest among the fans - Benji Tas, player-coach of the district classics FC Türkgücü Erding, knows: "Since we have set up a completely new team, the spectators are of course fully motivated and want to be there too." Tas criticizes the regulations of the BFV based on government regulations: “Nobody understands the decision. In the Erdinger Stadium there is enough space for spectators who can watch the game from a distance. ”Statements such as“ Over in the swimming pool hundreds of people are lying next to each other, but we are not allowed to watch football, ”he has often heard. "Of course, all decisions of the BFV are accepted and implemented, but it is not a matter of course for everyone to understand the logic", summarizes Tas.
FC Lengdorf: Why no spectators at games when up to 200 people take part in club events outdoors
"During our first test match against TSV Vilslern there were several inquiries from our fans," reports Anton Bauer from FC Lengdorf. “Some were very unhappy that they weren't allowed to come.” He asks: “Why aren't spectators allowed to come to football matches when up to 200 people take part in outdoor club events. We very much wish that spectators are allowed at the start of the league game, "otherwise the FCL will face major economic challenges."
FC Moosinning: 1000 spectators would come to the derby against FC Schwaig - proportionality is no longer true
Moosinnings chairman Karl Thumbs reports no problems with “illegal” viewers: “The viewers behave in an exemplary manner. One or the other active player from the other men's teams drops in and that's about it. When we play on the next square, some of them watch from the Stockschützenbahn. Otherwise no one seems to care anymore whether the Germans' favorite leisure activity still exists or not. "
Then Thumbs becomes clear: “In general, it is no longer fun in amateur football, because the association is talking about everything, only makes recommendations or has to adhere to the requirements of the state government and the authorities, but a clear announcement whether From September onwards, the game can or must be played without a spectator is still missing. "
Thumbs looks at the derby opener against FC Schwaig: “Normally we would have almost 1000 spectators. If the two teams are to play the game behind closed doors, then you get sick. When I think about the fact that next door to the bathing pond between 500 and 1000 visitors are ceiling to ceiling and there is a ban in the wide football area, the proportionality is no longer correct. "
Thumbs: At Munich city clubs, "only a few Hansel come to the district sports facilities"
Thumbs takes up statements from Munich city clubs that “they can imagine games without a spectator at any time”, because “there are only a few Hansel hanging around the district sports facilities”. For the FCM boss, this is evidence that the football community across the country is divided. “That people in the country also go to the game because they want to maintain their social contacts. That they can talk to the players. That the clubs lack a lot of money, especially in the derbies. None of that interests the association. "
You can't compare that with the professional clubs that live off the television income. "Either we play with spectators, or we let it stay, because on the one hand the football breaks and on the other hand the clubs."
TSV Wartenberg: "When hundreds of people bask shoulder to shoulder in the sun at the bathing pond ..."
Thomas Rademacher, press spokesman for TSV Wartenberg, also reports of discussions and incomprehension among those involved, “when hundreds of people bask shoulder to shoulder in the sun at the bathing pond, but not 50 people are allowed in an amateur football game on what is usually a very large area. Some people shake their heads. "
Rademacher: "The association prefers to blindly accept everything the ministry specifies"
Rademacher suspects that there would have been “other and clever solutions” “if someone had asked. But the association prefers to blindly accept everything the ministry dictates. The impression remains as if one does not want to stand up for the smaller clubs. ”The clubs were stuck with not inconsiderable costs, but have no income. "In the long run this is not acceptable for everyone," says Rademacher, who confirms that so far there have not been any disputes or stupid comments in the direction of those responsible during the test matches. "Everyone adheres to the regulation."
The Wartenberg fans also turned out to be particularly resourceful. At the previous test matches, fans have unceremoniously converted the containers and pallet stacks of the recycling center under construction into grandstands and also sat in the excavator shovel. “They also provided a suitable musical framework,” reports Rademacher, who also streamed the first game live on the Facebook page. “At the moment we are working on getting that even better at the start of the season. We received a rejection from Sporttotal, they only serve the higher leagues at the moment, "said Rademacher."
SpVgg Altenerding and TuS Oberding find alternative solutions
SpVgg Altenerding has not a container, but a clubhouse solution, as Andreas Heilmaier explains. “When the football fans watch from the terrace of the Sempt pub, then that is up to the host and we are out of responsibility,” explains the football boss of the A-class. The BFV accepts the solution, which Heilmaier suspects, is available at many other clubs in the district. Therefore there was no complaint.
There has not been a major problem in Walpertskrichen either, reports WSV trainer Sepp Heilmeier. But that is also due to the fact that you can watch from your car outside the square. “The home fans know that anyway.” When a few spectators recently took their seats on the edge of the field, they were informed by the security service. “That wasn't an issue either, the people have been very sensible so far. So far, all test games have gone wonderfully smoothly. ”For Heilmeier, one thing is clear:“ The chains of infection will not increase in this way. ”
TuS Oberding: Difficult to find a uniform limit for all leagues
Tobias Huber, head of soccer at TuS Oberding, shows understanding for the BFV, for whom it is difficult to “find a uniform limit for all leagues”. TuS accept the situation. “Of course, it is asked why 200 visitors are allowed at other events and not even 50 people on the sports field who want to see the game,” he says, “but we strictly adhere to all the requirements of the BFV and hope for a solution soon, with which many clubs can live, because even amateur football is not the same without spectators ”. Financially, it is also a factor in being able to cover certain ancillary costs in gaming operations.
Andreas Heilmaier has another problem. "We taped the changing rooms so that the distance rules can be observed." There was now space for seven players. “Since we have six cabins in Altenerding, we will manage it. But how do other clubs do it with only two changing rooms? "( DIETER PRIGLMEIR )
