Why sporting success is a hindrance for Sturm and GAK

Why sporting success is a hindrance for Sturm and GAK

It’s still a few weeks until the Graz Bundesliga football derby between SK Sturm and GAK is scheduled for October 19th. However, there was a small foretaste yesterday as part of the Kleine Zeitung’s open day, when Sturm President Christian Jauk and GAK’s deputy chairman Matthias Dielacher sat opposite each other in the skyroom of the Styria Media Center under the direction of sports director Michael Schuen. However, the mood was not heated during the recording of the “Abgestaubt” podcast. I am the opposite. “We want to set an example of respectful cooperation and show how things can work between the clubs,” says Dielacher. Jauk also spoke of “great respect that we have for GAK’s path.” Also because I can empathize with the situation.” The black and whites were spared relegation to the bottom division, but in 2006 they were insolvent and Jauk was involved as head of Sturm’s rescue operation. “At GAK you can see that the forces were combined with the relegation and many people supported the path.”
