Fritsch expects setbacks

Lilien chairman Rüdiger Fritsch eased the pressure again at the start of preparations for Darmstadt 98. In an interview with the Lilienblog, the 61-year-old stressed that South Hesse is striving for “the best possible sporting result”. If the 2nd division leaders were to play for promotion, “it wouldn’t be a broken leg at all”. It’s important to approach the second half of the season with realistic expectations. “There will definitely be setbacks.” But it is also clear that the leap to the Bundesliga would be extremely profitable, especially from a financial point of view. “Media revenues would triple from 12 to 36 million euros,” says Fritsch.
