The corona virus continues to have a firm grip on the world and is causing far-reaching restrictions on public life. Professional football can continue in Austria, but spectators are no longer allowed. And that probably won’t change until the end of the year. Rapid President Martin Bruckner spoke yesterday on Sky Talk and Tore about the effects of ghost games on SK Rapid and football in general.

For Martin Bruckner it is “absolutely clear that health comes first”, but the Rapid president regrets a full home stadium, especially in the European Cup: “Without a doubt, we would have sold out our three-way tickets very quickly and one day of game like this The Europa League brings us a profit of just over one million euros per game. So in a normal year we have three million additional income here, which is not compensated by the sports league fund, because here it only knows national competition and does not compensate for losses in non-national competition.

For the Hütteldorfer, the situation with the fans is particularly difficult: “We have 10,000 subscribers and from the second day of the game we had to put off our most loyal fans of all, conduct some lotteries, make some attempts that are somehow doomed. . To someone who would like to go to the game to say, ‘It won’t be your turn this time, it will be again,’ then it leads to a good deal of frustration. So that our ladies and gentlemen in club service can sing a song about the fact that we were the lightning rod here, for something that seemed difficult in communication, “Bruckner describes the plight.

In addition, the president of Rapid explained how to deal with the audience problem: “These are all topics that we are now discussing internally, where we will then return the money to our subscribers and also talk with our partners. And here then, consequently, suffer these disadvantages. That will come our way one way or another. But the difficulty is: it is so moving that everything we are saying now does not have to be correct anymore. “
