Star lawyer advises BVB to ghost game

Borussia Dortmund should defend himself according to the prestigious extensive viewersan wave Christoph Schickhardt on the way against the extensive viewer exclusion in the football league.

He could "only support appropriate considerations of BVB Managing Director Hans-Joachim Watzke", Schiedhardt talked to "extensive viewer1". "I do not judge the chances of success, if this is not my profession, as this is administrative law."

According to the prescription of the state of North Rhine-Westphalia, only 750 viewers per game may be in the Dortmund Signal Iduna Park. Watzke had recently not excluded legal action.

The BVB Boss has since the beginning of the Coronavirus pandemic "as the whole Bundesliga as absolutely state rival and against politics and authorities loyal behavior and always used for sensible solutions, as well as within the Bundesliga caused all rules to all rules," Praised Schickhardt.

The 66-year-old lawyer complemented: "The Bundesliga was always exemplary, including all clubs, spectators, fans, even the Ultras have behaved absolutely exemplary. Without this behavior, it would never have greeted from May 2020 and never again games."

Ghost Games for BVB and Co. "Populist"

Schiennhardt explained with a view to a possible urgent procedure of the BVB, which now also strives for RB Leipzig in Saxony: "The success prospects judge whether the complete closure of the viewer ranks or approval of only a few viewers is a suitable, appropriate and necessary means to The aim - no infections on football - to achieve. In this regard, the courts will contribute experience values, especially that the clubs have consistently enforced a first class organization, a perfect hygiene system consistently and are absolutely reliable. "

Politics are "also often popular", "said Schihardt, it was" repeatedly popular, opposite the 'rich' football players to show hard edge. But make sense, but only if it is thought through and probably weighed, after all, it is Even with the Bundesliga clubs for business enterprises with fundamentally anchored rights and all interventions must be well overlaid and dosed. "

So far, however, a possible lawsuit would have "always had a 'tasteless'."

Following stages Schickhardt lasts unrealistic at short notice. "But if all ranks are open and the audience could then distribute themselves, I kept it for quite possible that about 1/5 to 1/4 of the approved spectators pure."
