No pyro, no incidents, but huge fan support at Dresden's home win against VfL Bochum. The Dynamo Ultras showed their best side in the 2:0 win. Saxony's Minister of the Interior Armin Schuster, who came to see for himself in the packed Rudolf Harbig Stadium with 30,616 spectators, also registered this. "As long as we all remain in plain language mode, a momentum can develop from which soccer and security can come together better and police operations can be reduced step by step," Schuster told the German Press Agency.
However, the CDU politician also made it clear that "we will only achieve this development if all partners work together on a new level, and this also expressly applies to the Ultra scene". In the midst of dealing with the riots at the recent home game against Hertha BSC, Schuster took the opportunity to hold talks with the club management, the police, the stadium's security company and the city of Dresden.
The crackdown with the threat of stadium bans seems to be working. Some of the revised security concept in the stadium has already been implemented. For example, the seating area of the away block was cordoned off with nets to prevent people from climbing over the barriers. The buffer area around the guest block to the home area was also reinforced.
