How many people have been relegated from the 2nd football league to the regional league and how many would then have to be relegated from the third division? Everything stands and falls with those clubs that currently have not received a license for the Bundesliga or the 2nd division – i.e. Austria Vienna and Stripfing, aspiring for promotion to the regional league. While the violets got their permission to play in detention last year, there is a big question mark behind stripping. The reason given by Senate 5 of the Bundesliga as to why the Lower Austrians were denied admission in the first instance: failure to meet sporting and infrastructural criteria. The club has lodged a protest and a final decision by the protest committee will be made on Thursday.
If the license no for the promotion aspirant remains, this means that there would only be two relegated instead of three in the 2nd league. Less relegated from the 2nd division would also help the regional league teams threatened with relegation. The possible scenarios:
Der Worst Case: Both Austria and Stripfing get the license, then there would be three regular second division relegated. If the worst comes to the worst and all three relegated teams have to be integrated into the middle regional league – for example Vorwarts Steyr, Kapfenberg and Sturm II – then five third division clubs would have to be relegated, which would also affect the Upper Austrian club Vöcklamarkt as the current twelfth place. Only eleventh would be saved. At the weekend, the Hausruckviertel team drew 0-0 once morest the WAC amateurs.
Two to no relegation: In the event of two second division teams being relegated to the middle regional league, four third division teams would have to be relegated to the highest leagues in the federal states. If the second division were relegated to the middle regional league, the last three teams would be affected. It’s hardly realistic that Forward Steyr, Sturm II and Kapfenberg manage to stay up in the second division – then only two middle regional league teams would have to be relegated. From two to five relegated regional leagues – no club can be too sure yet…
