Hertha threatens fans with stadium bans after riots

After the riots in the second division match at Dynamo Dresden, Hertha BSC is threatening its supporters with harsh consequences. "Stadium bans. We will certainly also have to discuss how membership will be exercised. From our point of view, this discussion is unavoidable," managing director Peter Görlich told the "Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung".

At the match on April 4, supporters of both teams had climbed over barrier fences and attacked each other inside the stadium with fireworks, among other things. Police officers then intervened, separated the camps and secured the pitch. Dresden had also threatened its supporters with stadium bans and the withdrawal of their membership.

Görlich on exchange with fan scene: Very clear words

The police are currently working on the case. "So far, no suspects have been identified. Further investigations are necessary at this point," the "Sächsische Zeitung" quoted a spokesperson for the Dresden police department as saying.

Görlich reported on a very intensive and very open exchange with the active fan scene. "I was shocked by the way they acted in Dresden, but it's not like one group is throwing itself into the dust in front of the other. There are very clear and very clear words," the 59-year-old clarified.
