Bundesliga - Baumgart: High penalties for pyrotechnics not expedient
Steffen Baumgart believes that the high pyro penalties for German soccer clubs are not effective. "I don't think the punitive measures will reach the boys. It doesn't change anything when we see how often and with how much joy it is done," said the coach of Bundesliga club 1 FC Köln.
This week, the Rhinelanders were handed a fine of 595,000 euros for setting off pyrotechnics in the home derby against Borussia Mönchengladbach. "The measures imposed on the clubs have not taken one Bengalo out of the stadiums," said Baumgart. "I don't see anything happening as a result, except that someone gets a lot of money for it and we lose a lot," said the Cologne coach.
