The West Derby will be held in front of just 500 spectators due to the orange traffic light. Managing Director Längle is disappointed by the “excessive actionism” and the short-term nature.
Altach In a normal year, the home game against WSG Tirol could have become a crowd attraction. With a few thousand fans from Vorarlberg, with hundreds of fans from Tyrol who traveled with them and with a good atmosphere in the stands and in the kiosks everywhere. But as is well known, everything will be different in 2020, including the visit to the Schnabelholz stadium.
However, Altach Managing Director Christoph Längle (50) expected at least 3,000 visitors to the West Derby on Thursday. Less than 24 hours later and less than 30 hours before the start of today, Saturday, at 5 pm, everything is different again at the Cashpoint Arena. The reason for this: the new traffic light switch for the Rhine Valley / Walgau area. This resulted in a new decision by the Feldkircher BH on Friday, according to which only 500 people can enter the stadium. “This decision surprised us and it also disappointed us,” Längle said. After contacting BH, the decision was sent without comment on Friday morning.
Disappointment is great
Above all, the managing director shows incomprehension about the previous behavior of the authorities: “The increase in the numbers became evident weeks ago. I don’t understand why it only took the travel warning to intervene like this in one go. ” Additionally, people repeatedly found themselves hearing impaired, for example when they wanted to be clear whether the new traffic lights on Friday would only have their effect on Deployment on Monday. This would have made situations like this avoidable. Also, we are not Crown Deniers here in Altach. We understand that every effort should be made to avoid a second lockdown. But I see the short-term nature of this measure as over-the-top activism to make up for the failures of recent weeks, ”Längle said.
Tirol in contrast to Salzburg
What about the Altach people on a sporting level? Coach Alex Pastoor (53) can have the entire squad again, with the exception of Emanuel Schreiner and goalkeeper Martin Kobras, who suffers a muscle tear in his thigh, the squad is complete. In addition, Kofi Babil has been training since this week, according to Pastoor he is a nice and fresh young player. It could almost certainly cause some surprises.
With Tirol, a completely different opponent now enters Schnabelholz than the one Salzburg was out of last weekend. However, the team is well prepared. “We know how they play and of course we want to win.” Pastoor also expects his team to read what is asked of him during the game. Players must then show the appropriate reaction at precisely that moment. Then you could win.
