Finally stadium again! On Saturday, the Alte Försterei will come to life after the summer break. At 3.30 p.m. the test against Irish first division club Bohemians Dublin rises.
At the official start of the season, the fans should be in their seats by 2:30 p.m. Traditionally, all players, coaches and supervisors are presented in the interior.
The current 35 kickers include 8 new signings, above all top striker Jordan Siebatcheu (26, from Young Boys Bern).
What else is new with the Iron Ones?
► In the game against Dublin, the pros will wear the new home jerseys with vertical red and white stripes for the first time. Bild showed it exclusively on Tuesday.
► The lawn is also freshly laid. As expected, he suffered at the opening ceremony of the National Special Olympics on June 19 and was renewed from late June until the beginning of this week.
► New at the entrance for the expected 12,000 home fans and 700 supporters from Dublin: There are turnstiles with ticket scanners for the printed online tickets for the first time. Later, it should also be possible to read tickets directly from the cell phone screen.
However, nobody should expect sporting miracles today. Coach Urs Fischer (56) “We don’t care about the friendlies this week. The team is in full training. We don’t steer it to the games.”
Fischer values hard, honest work. That’s not new.
