Bremen – Whether Werder Bremen will actually play ghost games in the Weser Stadium depends largely on Ulrich Mäurer. And the Bremen senator is considering a ban because he fears crowds of fans in front of the stadium.
Mäurer recently revealed in the “Bild” that he had tried in vain to find a dialogue with Ultras – now it is defending itself Fan grouping “Caillera” in clear words.
“What does Ulrich Mäurerwhen he gets negative press? He simply channels them to the Ultrasby claiming that there is reason to believe that organized Werder fan scene would the expiry of Ghost games want to disturb “, it says in a letter on the website of” Caillera “and further:” However, this proves once again only his stupidity and ignorance, because already the boycotted Monday game, which has been declared a ghost game, became one under the pretext Fan scene meeting and canceled despite some appeals by the scene to the reason of the Werder fans. “
Werder Bremen: Ulrich Mäurer canceled game against Leverkusen
That is what is meant Bundesliga home game on March 16 against Leverkusen. That should be as Ghost game take place, but Mäurer prohibited an implementation. There were indications that fans support the team on Weser Stadium gather, this is the risk of infection of those involved and the possibly necessary police officers to dissolve the in the Corona virus crisis prohibited gathering too big. However: at least the Ultras, which make up a large part of the East curve to take and create the mood in the Weserstadion, would not have come, they categorically reject Monday games – and had announced their absence weeks before.
And now? How would the Ultras behave at ghost games on a Saturday or a Sunday? Mäurer wanted to get it out in a conversation, but according to his own account flashed at the Ultras.

Werder Bremen sold stadium names to Wohninvest
Also Werder Bremen has hardly any contact with this part of the fan scene. This results from the protests of the Ultras against the sale of the stadium name to a sponsor. As of this season, the arena on the Weser has been called Wohninvest Weserstadion. For example, Ultras hung the sponsor’s box with a black cloth during a home game.
In her letter, the ultra grouping “Caillera” leaves open how it is now possible Ghost games will behave. It simply says: “Regardless of this, we maintain that the continuation of the Bundesliga is a mistake and that there is a risk for everyone involved that cannot be compensated with any money in the world. (…) Clubs and associations should use the time to force a rethink regarding football, instead of trying to save the already wobbly house of cards from the impending collapse. “(Kni)
