Oke Göttlich, president of the second division soccer club FC St. Pauli, has criticized the new corona-related audience restrictions in Hamburg.
You have to ask “why within less than two weeks regulations are brought on the way that provide more questions than answers,” said the 46-year-old.
The Senate of the City of Hamburg had previously announced that from Monday onwards only 200 spectators will be allowed indoors and 1000 spectators outdoors.
Home games of FC St. Pauli and the league rival Hamburger SV should only take place as ghost games without an audience.
So far, a maximum of 5,000 spectators outside and a maximum of 2,500 spectators in halls have been permitted at events according to the 2G rule.
It could not be plausibly explained that 1000 spectators are admitted to non-professional sporting events, complained Göttlich.
The St. Pauli boss also asked whether the city derby at HSV on January 21 was “also a supraregional event” that the Senate only wanted to see free of spectators.
