The GAK officially kicked off the new season with a raft trip on the Mur. For the first time in 17 years, the team is back in the Bundesliga. The big question: what role can the promoted team play in the "concert of the big boys"? In any case, the budget is no longer "small" at all...

"A sea voyage is fun. A sea voyage is beautiful." So begins a famous children's song. The GAK didn't set sail on Thursday, but a raft took them across the Mur during the official season preview. One thing first: nobody went overboard.
