SKN Rush gives way to Vienna: Exciting games despite stadium problems

The sporting management of the SKN St. Pölten is currently faced with a challenging situation. The planned home games against internationally well-known teams, including Manchester City and Barcelona, had to be moved to a different stadium due to problems with the NV-Arena. The decision does not only affect the logistical processes around the games, but also the financial planning of the association.

The sales booth for the tickets is remarkable: 1,500 tickets have already been sold for the game against Manchester City, while 2,000 tickets have even found their new owners for meeting FC Barcelona. The anticipation of the fans for these games is unbroken, even if the circumstances are suboptimal. "We want to make the best out of this. So it is now our goal that we fill the stadium in Vienna," explains a spokesman for the club.

stadium change necessary

the SKN St. Pölten is forced to move his games to the Generali-Arena in Vienna, since the UEFA has not approved container solutions for the NV-Arena. This quick reaction is a measure to enable fans to perform the games. The board of directors of the association is aware of the challenges that are accompanied by such a change. "We only know about the problem. We only had the inspection on Friday," says an official representative who also thinks about possible financial effects: "Maybe that's also an insurance topic."

The SKN Rush, the fan group of the association, took the initiative to promote the mood and sale of the ticket elections. The commitment of the fans is considered crucial, especially in view of the awareness of the opponents and the associated expectations. The association hopes that the move to Vienna will not only run smoothly, but also pulls many followers to the stadium, which was proven by the national record visit of 10,051 fans in a game against France last year.

the club management plans to check the negotiations on possible compensation with the operator of the Lower Austria sports center. This search for solutions will be brought into the focus promptly, since the pressure, both sporty and financially, increases.

The anticipation of the fans remains unbroken, and the team will do everything possible to master the challenges of the next games and possibly even inspire fans for a stadium visit to the Generali Arena. For further information on the current developments and the upcoming games, it is advisable to keep an eye on the reporting on the further steps.
