A decision that causes headaches
Marc Lüthi, CEO of SCB, has to rethink again.
Keystone
- After the return to the 1000 limit in the canton of Bern, the affected clubs SCB and YB find clear words and shake their heads.
- Their lack of understanding is enormous, especially as expensive protection concepts have proven themselves.
- Denis Vaucher, director of the professional ice hockey league, talks about a “Chlapf a Gring.”
The heart of the sportsmen of Bern bleeds after the last decision of the cantonal government. In view of the increasing number of corona cases, major events of 1000 people will be banned from Monday.
In an initial written statement, SC Bern affirmed his great knowledge of the healthcare system. On the other hand, the decision that the audience does not exceed the limit of 1000 games in the Postfinance Arena is not appreciated.
“With great amazement” the National League public takes note of the decision. Furthermore, he was completely surprised by the plans. Wanja Greuel, CEO of the Young Boys, also notes that they have been completely caught off guard. “We are shocked by that.”
Decision threatening existence
The SCB justifies its misunderstanding with the fact that the Federal Council did not explicitly question important events with the corresponding protection concepts at the present time. The canton of Bern is also doing relatively well in a national comparison of crown cases. Therefore, the decision of the cantonal government would lack clear reasons.
The SCB considers the cantonal government’s decision to be disproportionate.
The SCB has invested 500,000 francs in the protection concepts and has had positive experiences with them. “Covid-19 cases have not been shown to be known in relation to SCB games.” Consequently, the “Mutzen” consider the decision of the cantonal government to be disproportionate.
The 16-time Swiss champion closes his reply by calling for a differentiated approach to events with recognized protection concepts that have so far proven their worth.
The implementation of games with less than 1000 fans is a threat to the existence of SCL Tigers and EHC Biel. Both are currently also affected by the return to the 1000 limit in National League ice hockey and are therefore hugely restricted. The Zeelanders want to report on Monday about the procedure for the upcoming home games.
Faced with a fait accompli
On the footballers’ side, YB CEO Greuel wants to enter into talks with the governing councils as soon as possible. “Because we are really surprised by the rapid implementation. There is great hope that things will soon go in a different direction, ”said the 42-year-old. SRF sport.
The anger of the Young Boys is great for the first time with a view to Thursday and the start of the group stage of the Europa League (at home to AS Roma, live from 6:40 pm on SRF Zwei). “It’s a huge affair that we’ve already sold tickets to,” Greuel said. Now you have to see how to deal with the fact that admission is limited to 1000 people. “That hurts financially, but also emotionally.”
