The next act in the Graz stadium drama: As the "Krone" has learned, the city has now submitted a proposal to the clubs to unite the two fan stands in the north stand in future. 

It would be an absolute novelty in European soccer if the two local rivals not only had to share the stadium, but also the fan stand. A highly emotional experiment that the two traditional Graz clubs Sturm and GAK would be embarking on from the coming season. It was precisely this proposal that was put to the club representatives last Monday at the last of what felt like 127 stadium rounds by City Councillor for Finance Manfred Eber (KPÖ).
