New inspection and better perspectives

Austria Vienna indicates in its page Website that at 13:30 hours they have inspected the condition of the Ernst Happel Stadium with satisfactory results, according to what they state. Present at the inspection have been Fritz Stuchlik (FIFA referee), Markus Kraetschmer (Austria Vienna Manager) and its organization head, Dietmar Kurzawa, as well as the director of the stadium company Walter Weiss and the Secretary General of the ÖFB Alfred Ludwig. Referee Fritz Stuchlik has communicated to the UEFA in Nyon, via telephone, that ‘it would toot the kick-off of the match immediately’. Around mid afternoon on Tuesday the UEFA delegate and the Secretary General of Athletic Club, Juan Ignacio Añibarro, will go to the stadium while the referees will do so on Wednesday at 17:00 hours.

Yet, and after all that happened last week to the thousands of rojiblancos fans and to the Athletic Club expedition itself, it seems that Austria of Vienna still have some reserves for humour. In fact, besides tagging our Secretary General -who has scheduled meetings with the UEFA and the host club itself-as a spy, they speak of the snow in Bilbao and indicate that ‘San Mamés does not have underground heating’. We are attaching images of San Mamés on Tuesday at 17:00 hours, for Austria of Vienna’s peace of mind.
