The Wals-Grünau course
“Like a 100-meter track for 65 people”
Wals-Grünau (Regionalliga West) is worried about playing its home games in the spring due to the large amount of grass. Coach Christoph Knaus and chairman Norbert Bauer are anything but confident. But Bauer takes it with humor.

The municipality of Wals, which owns the facility, and the company that looks after the pitch promised that everything would be better in spring and that the pitch would be ready in time for the first home game in March. But nobody at Grünau believes that. No wonder, when you look at the pictures. "I always say that the pitch looks like a 100-meter track for 65 people because of the lines," says chairman Norbert Bauer with a sardonic grin and explains: "There will be an inspection on Monday, when we'll find out more. We've been told that we don't have to worry about anything. But I can't imagine that we'll be able to play in March."
Knaus isn't exactly brimming with confidence about the pitch either: "We're shaken by the situation. Everyone knows how big the home advantage factor can be."
