Soccer - Injuries and property damage after fan riot in Paderborn
During the Bundesliga 2 match between SC Paderborn and Hansa Rostock, there were serious fan riots. An unprecedented number of Hansa supporters and police officers are said to have been injured. A few hours after the match on Friday evening, SC managing director Martin Hornberger estimated the damage caused at around 100,000 euros.
Rostock supporters had already set off pyrotechnics in their block during the match as a protest against the German Football League 's investor deal. This resulted in a police operation and the game being interrupted twice. In addition, two police cars as well as catering stands, sanitary facilities and admission controls were allegedly damaged.
"We distance ourselves completely from the way the protest was brought onto the pitch," commented Hansa sporting director Kristian Walter on Sky after the match. Rostock goalkeeper and captain Markus Kolke, who was sent off with a red card after 63 minutes, was similarly critical: "There's really no need for rocket fire, so much can happen. I'm happy that nobody was hit."
At the general meeting last Monday, the DFL received a mandate from the professional clubs to enter into concrete negotiations with a strategic marketing partner. A financial investor is to pay up to one billion euros for a percentage share of the TV revenue. The contract is to have a maximum term of 20 years. This agreement is not very popular with many fans. That is why they have announced protests for this weekend.
