Maccabi Haifa fans (Radad Jabara)
The ticket storm around the Haifa derby between Hapoel and Maccabi, which will be held on Saturday at 20:00, continues to occupy the city of Carmel. Tonight (Wednesday), Hapoel Haifa CEO Ruby Regev was interviewed by Yaniv Katan on the “Katan at 2:00 PM” program on Radio Haifa and talked about the preparations and fears that the champion’s fans will enter the stands of the Reds-Blacks ahead of the game hosted by Hapoel Sami Ofer.
“Hapoel Haifa has the eastern stand, there are another 1,300 tickets left. A total of 4,000 Hapoel Haifa fans secured their place in the stadium. There are still 1,000 tickets left for the money stand, I estimate and hope that by the derby we will finish all the tickets. Mixed stands? Every derby that takes place, even in Tel Aviv, has this fear. Hundreds of Maccabi Tel Aviv fans bought tickets to the stands of Hapoel Tel Aviv. “The security company and the police know that if a fan does not go to his stand, he will bear the consequences,” he said Regev.
Hapoel Haifa CEO against Maccabi Haifa fans
How do you cope with possible violence and the entry of Maccabi Haifa fans into Hapoel’s stands?
“A catastrophe what has been happening with the violence in recent times. The preparation is optimal, also in terms of police, security and the club. It is explicitly stated that if there is a fan who is not a fan of Hapoel and enters the stands of Hapoel to take him out immediately. To the best of my knowledge, quantities of Maccabi Haifa fans will not come to our stands. The directive given is to take out Maccabi fans who will enter the Hapoel stands. This is a disturbance to public order and to do rather. It is no problem for Maccabi fans to buy for their stands. The police need to take care of public order. It worries me that they are not buying for their stands. “
Regev continued: “If a fan wants him to sue me and I will return the money to him. Because whoever wants to sue us, if someone thinks he will make an unjustified move to sit in the non-stand of his team is irresponsible, inciting and should not be on the field. If a fan decides to buy for the Hapoel Haifa stands, what does not happen the other way around, he is irresponsible, there are more tickets for the green stands as well. “
Regev added: “Yaniv Katan, do you want to help? So tell Maccabi Haifa fans ‘not to buy for Hapoel Haifa’s stands’. This is a wrong phenomenon they are buying for our stand. They did not have to buy there in advance, but even when it happened, the person responsible for it is Maccabi Haifa, they received more than 20,000 tickets for their fans. ”
Regev went on to attack: “Those who bought there are irresponsible and despicable. The last thing to say is ‘if there are some who bought here then everything is fine’. It’s not like that, Yaniv, if it’s really important to you you should contact the fans and tell them to buy only for their team’s stand. It’s not the right thing to buy for Hapoel’s stand, it’s bad and irresponsible. Stands have been set up for the fans, two thirds of the stadium is allocated to Maccabi, but I expect you to yield, if you already say it happens then tell them it is irresponsible. I asked Maccabi Haifa to make sure that fans do not buy for Hapoel’s stands. ”
