Last Friday night, strangers did laps on the soccer field in one or more cars and destroyed the lawn.

You're pissed off at SV Buch.

Buch am Buchrain

- The vandals have done a great job: The lawn now has deep vehicle tracks and is currently no longer usable.

The start of training in February is uncertain.

The police estimate that the property damage is around 5000 euros.

The first thing to notice about the property damage was the snow removal service on the sports grounds on Saturday morning.

The Buch sports club is angry and suspects young, not entirely unknown perpetrators.

SV boss Andreas Viechter describes the traces left behind as "a double center circle," explains the 63-year-old, who has no understanding of the action.

As you can now also see in the muddy lawn, a vehicle lane leads to the neighboring parking lot of the rifle club.

Viechter explains that, because of the differences in the thickness of the prints, several vehicles are suspected to be behind the crime - possibly a VW and a Mitsubishi. According to the SV chairman, there are even possible eyewitnesses for the incident. He suspects that the vehicle owners are several young men who have already attracted attention in the past because they practiced drifting with their cars in the sports field parking lots. One vehicle probably has an Ebersberg license plate. However, more is not known about the alleged perpetrators. “We don't know them, and I don't think they're Buchner,” says the 63-year-old.

The current football winter break will benefit SV Buch, because the playing field cannot be used because of the ditches in the grass.

"If it had been really frozen, the damage would not have been that bad now," explains Viechter.

It is still uncertain whether local training will start again in Buch in February and games will take place from March.

Presumably the bumps in the meadow have to be removed with a roller and some lawns have to be sown again, says the chairman.

But this is only possible at the end of winter, when the area is no longer so wet and muddy.

Viechter refers to other challenges facing the club, such as the staff worries in football, the canceled second team and the many events that have been canceled due to Corona.

"The time is not easy for clubs anyway, and then there are things like that." The 63-year-old asks himself: "What do you have to think of to do a rally on a football field?"

In the past, the SV Buch was repeatedly affected by incidents of vandalism such as broken window panes or garbage pollution.

About ten years ago a drunk driver was on the soccer field.

The association is thinking about how the place can be better secured.

The SV boss regrets that camera surveillance is difficult for data protection reasons.

There may be additional seating or other obstacles around the soccer field that block the way to the playing area.

But: "Fencing in is not nice, and it also costs something," says Viechter.
