Nothing works for Austria Salzburg without a police toilet

A visit to the toilet usually does not bode well. For Austria Salzburg, going to the toilet is a must and could even be worth its weight in gold when it comes to the friendly match against Real Betis on Saturday (14). For the highlight of the preparation, when the traditional Spanish club from Seville comes to Maxglan with star coach Manuel Pellegrini, the Violets have to meet a total of 45 requirements. One of them is this toilet.

However, this is not for the spectators, who have sufficient sanitary facilities on site. But rather for the fan police officers who need another container for meetings. But that was not the case with the curiosities from the authorities’ catalogue. Stripes had to be attached to the back of the fan stand at a distance of seven to eight centimetres. As warning signals for birds that are unlucky enough to regularly fly into it.

Decision on Wednesday
Should the round leather ever fly far beyond the box, this is also a precaution. The ball catch net behind the goals had to be extended to the sideline. In the past, this had extended to the lines of the sixteen. Incidentally, all conditions apply not only to the cracker against the Spanish team, but also to all other home games in Maxglan – also in the 2nd division. A final decision will be made on Wednesday about the approval for the test festival against Real Betis.

The Austrians completed another test gallop on Tuesday evening. The Violetten played 2:2 (1:1) against Salzburglistien SV Grödig. Bitter: New signing Fabian Windhager, who comes from Bundesliga club Blau-Weiß Linz, will be out for three to four weeks due to muscle problems in his thigh. Milos Savic is also in danger of going on break due to an injury.
