Lions Park is still far from ligareif
Bonn - When the regional league kicker of the Bonner SC on 8 Start of August in the new season, will have severe difficulties in the Sportpark Nord comply with the provisions of the German Football Federation.
Blame are not the lions, but the authorities. Neither the floodlights, nor the large display board will be installed up there.
And the tinny sound information to spectators from a mobile sound system, which will barely be hired by the city. The same applies to the much-needed video surveillance. Even that is initially made with a mobile facility.

It will fund the work in the "Lion Park" significantly from the economic stimulus package II has made the country a million from this package.
But if the Lions can ever start in the construction site, is still uncertain. The DFB, the stadium has certainly not been recognized. As an alternate squares of the BSC has already called Wuppertal and Mönchengladbach. If the work is not completed until early August, fans have to travel not only for away games ...
