The condition ladder is the police's name for the stricter guidelines that have been in place since 2019 for clubs to be allowed to continue organizing football matches after disturbances.
The purpose is to access the illegal pyrotechnics.
In 2019, this resulted in stricter visitation requirements, a ban on so-called Olympic flags and reductions in the number of spectators standing.
However, it was not appreciated by all supporters, and resulted in large and high-profile protests on several occasions.
"An appeal to the police"
Now a post has been spread on social media, which has been signed by several players and supporters, including among others the national team players Mikael Lustig, Marcus Berg and Pontus Jansson.
"This is an appeal to the police.
An appeal to capture their senses and sit down and once again have conversations with all parties in football.
An appeal to drop the hateful condition ladder and instead return to the extremely successful strategy where dialogue and cooperation were the watchwords ", write the 16 people who signed the letter, where they write that they cherish what they describe as the biggest and most important Swedish football has: The stands.
"We have all spent an awful lot of time on our Swedish football pitches and stands and seen how this culture has grown into one of Europe's strongest and most popular," they write, adding that they do not close their eyes to the fact that there are problems within the Swedish supporter culture.
“We are definitely not trying to sweep anything under the rug.
Police cases will always be police cases.
We only mean that the alleged crimes internally are in proportion to the measures.
And we probably think that the Swedish football-loving people agree with us when we say that the police's resources do better in other, much more criminal, places ”.
