- It is a direct consequence of the fact that through the government's decision we have been given the opportunity to receive our fans in our lodges and restaurant areas.
These are our regular areas and based on the current restaurant rules in terms of distancing and sequential opportunities for inputs and outlets, says Färjestads BK's CEO Stefan Larsson to SVT Sport.
But is not just a way to circumvent the rules?
- It is within the framework of the permit that the government has presented, Larsson states.
Färjestad has received the go-ahead from the police for its event, but the Public Health Agency's Anders Tegnell still raises a warning finger.
- It is a big responsibility that ends up with the organizer, says Tegnell.
- It is very important that you can organize both sitting with good distances but not least that you can regulate people who come there and from there.
It is important that you have a good dialogue with the police and law enforcement and local traffic so there is no congestion, Tegnell tells SVT.
- We take this very seriously.
SHL and the association have produced a comprehensive protocol for how we protect against infection in visitors to our arenas, assures FBK CEO Stefan Larsson.
In the stands in the SHL, the audience restriction of 50 spectators still applies due to the corona pandemic, but as of October 15, that number may be increased to 500.
If the rules are changed to 500 in the stands, Färjestad may thus be able to offer as many as 1350 people to watch the home matches with the same solution as they now have.
