More than a third of the stadium ban procedures at Dynamo Dresden after the promotion riots in May 2021 have not yet been conclusively processed. In addition, there was the riot in Bayreuth, after which Dynamo discussed away trips without fans.
After the riots surrounding Dynamo Dresden’s promotion to the second division in May 2021, 151 stadium bans have been issued so far. About a year and a half after the riots in Dresden, 100 applications for a stadium ban are still pending. The third division team confirmed this when asked by “Sport in the East”. The “Dresdner Morgenpost” (Thursday edition, October 13, 2022) initially reported on it.
Wednesday: Supervisory Board meeting on the Bayreuth riots
Just this week, representatives of Dynamo Dresden met with various fan committees to evaluate the recent riots by Dynamo supporters in Bayreuth at the beginning of October. A supervisory board meeting on Wednesday evening (10/12/2022) also dealt with the Bayreuth riotswhere Dresden supporters the police attacked and there was considerable damage to property in the stadium had done.
Next week: Away game decision
Dynamo Dresden wants to communicate an interim status of the processing of Bayreuth this week. In the coming week, the Dynamo management should make a decision on future away trips. The experience of the away game at Rot-Weiss Essen at the weekend should flow into this decision. Dynamo had only sold tickets to club members for the game at RWE. Immediately after the events in Bayreuth Dynamo considering individual away games without any fans drawn.
Dynamo: The stadium ban department will be increased
The processing of Bayreuth will therefore take some time. Just like the riots of May 2021 are still occupying the club. Last was in June 2022 it became known that the majority of the proceedings were still unprocessed stayed. 151 procedures have now been completed. In order to speed up the processing of the 100 stadium bans requested by the police and still outstanding, the club wants to “position itself differently, broader and better”, as Dynamo Managing Director Jürgen Wehlend told the “Dresdner Morgenpost”. Up until now, only one honorary stadium ban officer has taken care of the applications with the help of two fan officers and the security service. It often takes a very long time before a verdict is reached.
