In the deadlocked debate about the ascent relegation to the 3rd Football League, the 20 third division side have called for the current match day to a common prostate action. Under the motto "Stand against stoppage", all teams will keep their feet quiet for a minute in the ten games from Friday to Sunday after the kick-off. "Without us no ball rolls and without us the future of the third league can not be designed.We hereby say: Stop! So it does not continue," it said in a joint statement of the third division clubs.
The clubs call for the failed reform plans of the German Football Association (DFB) the fastest possible return to three relegated and a receipt of the single-track of the 3rd league. There is currently a two-year transition period in which four clubs from the five regional leagues rise. This also means that since this season four clubs descend from the 3rd league. The clubs had criticized that.
In the debate on the regional league reform, the Bavarian Federation President Rainer Koch has criticized the actions of the third division. In the opinion of the BFV the football clubs, which in the future only demand three relegated from their league, have remained guilty of a reform proposal.
