Last Sunday, for the first time in more than eight years, a match in the Bundesliga was cancelled. After it was decided that the Rhine Derby between Borussia Mönchengladbach and 1 FC Cologne will not take place due to the low pressure of the storm “Sabine”, the fans of both camps are interested in one thing above all: When will the game be made up for?
From an organisational point of view, the people responsible for the traditional duel between the two arch-rivals have acted in an exemplary manner: Already on early Sunday morning around 6 o’clock, the clubs, the fire brigade, the police, the Mönchengladbach City Office of Public Order and the German Weather Service intensively discussed whether the match scheduled for 3:30 p.m. could take place.
