The conflict between the club and the supporters escalated during the 0-1 loss at Sturm Graz on April 7th when masked LASK fans threw detergent tablets onto the field, which made it necessary to interrupt the game. After the house bans imposed by LASK, the fan collective “Landstrassler” stopped vocal support.
Regarding the action once morest Sturm, the “Landstrassler” have now reported: “A protest step like the one in Graz does not bring us any joy – it was taken as a reaction to a non-existent basis for discussion.”
