Are sector barriers now also coming to St. Gallen and Lucerne?

class=”sc-29f61514-0 kHgAwW”>

It happens on the Bundesplatz in Lucerne. St. Gallen and FCL fans are in mass riot. Including outrageous pyro throws. The police intervened with rubber bullets, tear gas and water cannons. Injured people happen. And all this just a few days after the approval authorities first responded to the riots and blocked the Sion fan block in the tourbillon.

The next day, FC St. Gallen responded, announcing: “Those responsible at FC St. Gallen 1879 are in no way prepared to accept or even downplay these events (…).” The Espen around President Matthias Hüppi assure in their statement that they will actively participate in the reprocessing.

St. Gallen’s security director, Fredy Fässler, calls for measures: “It cannot go on like this. Now politics must finally wake up! We must decide whether criminal law also applies in and around the football stadium, or whether we want It’s going to be a legal vacuum.”

Now the blocking of the fan sectors for Whit Monday threatens

After the sector ban in Sion, a very specific question arises: will the approval authorities around the KKJPD (Conference of Cantonal Justice and Police Directors) also block the ventilator sectors in St. Gallen and possibly also in Lucerne, in the same way as in Sion? Both the FCSG and the FCL will play their next home game on Whit Monday in the final round.

Both clubs remain vague on this question. St. Gallen describes his attitude as follows: «(…) We regret that the incidents caused by violent people lead to collective punishment being accepted for all. Anyone who thinks they should put their own needs before the general well-being of our club is out of place with us.”

The Central Swiss club announced: “FC Luzern condemns these riots in the strongest possible terms and is speechless at their scale. The club is now in contact with the authorities and will support them in fully handling the incidents. No information can be given at this time about any effects on the FCL. »

That’s why Espen fans came to the FCL fan bar

Because even if the Lucerne police concealed the involvement of the FCL fans in their press release, one thing is clear: it escalated when the Espen supporters met a larger group of Lucerne residents on their way to the train station, who were in front of their own fan club.

An alternative would be the route via Inseli, which would lead to a complete closure of the entire station and paralysis of public transport, which is not realistic on a Saturday evening with many passers-by.

Now it’s the KKJPD’s turn. A decision must be taken on Tuesday about closing sectors in the Kybunpark and also in the Swissporarena. Government Councilor Fässler also said: “The latest riots and possible consequences will also be discussed at the government meeting on Tuesday.”

In Sion, Ultras is in the stadium despite the suspension

What does the specific case of the sector lock in the tourbillon look like? The north bend is completely closed and therefore empty. The Sion Ultras are still partly in the stadium. But in the opposite grandstand, in the sector adjacent to the fan curve. Those who had a season ticket for the north stand in their name received a ticket for the opposite stand.

Those without a name, and that’s practically all Ultras, didn’t get one from FC Sion. You wanted them out. However: It was not possible to prevent non-nominal tickets from being bought at the box office. Striking: the presence of the Walliser hardliner of the State Council Frédéric Favre and the chief of police, who are otherwise never in the stadium. And quite a lot of police at all entrances to the stadium.
