Germany's stadiums not fit for World Cup?

[Hendrik]

Erm I think the concern is more to do with the actual severe crushing followed by death of dozens of people rather than an actual stampede. 60000 people with a clear run onto the pitch is less of a problem than them sardined against steel fencing. Look up Hillsbrough Disaster for an idea.

All places are seated, unlike in the past and in regular league games. If anything happened more space would help a lot.

Always thought that their stadiums were dodgy as hell. Why were they not inspected before giving them the WC?

It's kinda hard to inspect stadiums before they're built, isn't it.

Fifa should have a better knowledge about stadiums than a consumer group and as long as they say the stadiums are safe there's no reason to think differently.

I can't find the source, but I also read a report on Worlds-Cups, that specified that "Hooligans" where a much greater cause of deaths and injuries during World-Cups than anything else.

With the way this World-Cup will be hosted, I would worry alot more about clashes between hooligans, rather than minor stadium problems.

Anyone remember France 98?

Yeah, there's a big potential for these clashes between hooligans to happen again. The police has to do a tough work here to separate German, Dutch, English, Croatian and Serbian hooligans.

Thank god Turkey won't be there.

I think it is so nice that we keep the discussion so serious

Weeeeeell, about the stadiums, I, as a good-hearted person, think that everyone will behave nicely and that the World Cup 2006 will be a huge success

Fritz Walter Stadium was built in the 1920's. One would assume that the large ditch was built at the same time.

Fritz Walter Stadium was built in the 1920's. One would assume that the large ditch was built at the same time.

It was completely rebuilt last year. And they didn't complain about the ditch but about insecure manhole covers and power supply stations. This shouldn't be too hard to fix.

I don't understand why they picked this crappy stadium over the Borussia Park in Gladbach anyway. Apparently they were too many stadiums located in the West. :boohoo:

Did they ever fix the roof of that stadium that had water pouring in it during that Confederations Cup match?

 

[Hendrik]

Nope, it still happens every once in a while. They spent 12 million on that damn roof and can't even properly close it when it's raining or snowing.

Just get rid of it already.
