Should Grammozis follow the competition from the 2nd division on Sunday, however, he will see a ghost game. No spectators are allowed to watch the game between Holstein Kiel and Fortuna Düsseldorf.
This is provided for in the current Corona Protection Ordinance of the state of Schleswig-Holstein, which is valid until February 9th and is only to be changed afterwards with the supposedly uniform regulation.
NRW implemented the decision very quickly
A timing problem can hardly be the reason, because in North Rhine-Westphalia the amended version came into force on Thursday. Schalke can therefore let in 10,000 spectators, just like 1. FC Köln on Saturday against the SC Freiburg, Arminia Bielefeld against Borussia Mönchengladbach and Borussia Dortmund on Sunday against Bayer Leverkusen.
Could have NRW left as long as Schleswig-Holstein, there would only have been 750 possible viewers. Cologne, der BVB and Arminia sued the Higher Administrative Court (OVG) in Münster.
