No rain, dry ground: The city derby of the 1st state league was canceled early on Sunday. The guest team ASV Salzburg cannot understand that. The Salzburg Football Association is now reviewing the referee’s decision.
The city derby between ATSV Salzburg and ASV Salzburg in the 1st state league has become explosive even before the kick-off. Because the supposed opening duel was canceled by the referee hours before the game on Sunday. “At this point in the morning, the pitch was bone dry. You might have played with pimple shoes,” said ASV trainer Fritz Oberascher following an on-site inspection at the North Sports Center. His video from the field, which is available to the SN, supports the statements.
Cancellation due to strong wind?
ATSV coach Stanislav Stevic, who would have had to make do with a very small squad on Sunday, emphasized in the SN interview on Sunday: “The referee called off the game, not us.” However, it was very windy when the game master made his decision and a storm had been predicted. This has not happened. The Salzburg Football Association launched an investigation into the case on Monday. The duel will therefore not be rescheduled (sportingly) on Wednesday.
What is the role of the magistrate?
Interesting: The Panorama Center in Liefering is officially specified as the venue for the derby. The home of the ATSV is currently being renovated. Therefore, the climber deviates to the neighboring field in the sports center north. The magistrate 7/01 municipal companies is responsible there. The fact that he blocked the place is ruled out by the magistrate. Most recently, however, the ASV was not allowed to train on the site because, according to those responsible for the magistrate, the place was under water. At the same time, however, two other clubs (Ducks, ATSV) trained there.
