Florian Riepl annoys the BFV's approach.
The chairman of the Donau / Isar football group wanted to play the league cup only after the current season.
Erding - It should be an attractive additional competition as well as a lifeline for clubs threatened with relegation such as FC Türkgücü Erding.
Now the league cup is canceled.
The Bavarian Football Association (BFV) is drawing the conclusions from the lockdown that was extended until April 26th.
Team training with contact would therefore continue to be strictly prohibited in Bavaria, according to a BFV press release.
As a result, the league cup is no longer possible and will be canceled at district, district and association level.
The decision will be taken on Wednesday.
For Florian Riepl, the demolition was "only a matter of time"
According to Florian Riepl, this was "just a matter of time anyway".
The league cup was "a very good and well thought-out idea," says the chairman of the Donau / Isar football club.
However, he had spoken out several times in favor of holding this competition after the points round.
Instead, the first games took place in autumn 2020.
“Now that's falling on our feet.
It annoys me that I was right, because we could already be a lot further in the points round, ”said Riepl.
Because here, too, there is a risk of cancellation if training is not possible from May 3rd.
Then the quotient rule would decide on promotion and relegation without relegation games.
For FC Schwaig, FC Langengeisling and SV Walpertskirchen, TSV Isen and Eintracht Berglern, this would mean, for example, the leap into the next league.
Like the representatives of the clubs mentioned, Riepl hopes that these decisions will still be carried out on the pitch.
It is even more important “that we can start the new season on time”.
