The government announced yesterday that the government has not made a decision on crowd relief on culture and sports.
The limit remains at 50 people and that was not surprising for Storvreta's Hannes Öhman.
- It was an expected decision when following the development that has been the last week.
Of course you were a little hopeful for a while, but it turned out pretty quickly that it would not be as they said a month ago, he says.
Already in August, Storvreta advocated that the series start be postponed until mid-November.
In September, the final news came that the Men's World Cup in Finland had been postponed.
- We did not get any hearing from other clubs in the country or our own organization (SSL).
It was fully agreed that what they said at a press conference for a month would apply.
It is clear that we are not very happy with the decision.
"Must think of the associations"
In September, the final news came that the Men's World Cup in Finland had been postponed.
Storvreta thinks that league games should be given priority over national team assignments.
- We have to think about the associations in the league and then maybe we do not need to let go of players in insignificant national team camps.
Then maybe those are the things you should set and not start the series too early, says Öhman.
An entire season without an audience would not go for Storvreta and even three months would have been tough.
- We have calculated that we have six home matches before the turn of the year and some big matches.
It is speculation, but it is clear that it is millions.
In our world, it is a couple of months' salary payment to staff and players.
"Difficult to put together the game program"
Krister Kalte, chairman of the Association for SSL, is open about the fact that they hoped for an audience when they made the decision.
- We decided together on the start of the series and then it was with a hope that a certain audience would be allowed.
As it looks right now, the restrictions apply and pushing it further is difficult.
Why can you not postpone the start of the series?
- It will be difficult to get the game program together and the consequence may be that there will be more everyday matches and some clubs have a hard time with that.
There will also be quite large consequences of redoing all planning.
It is an extensive work that I have respect for, says Kalte.
