Far far away! Saturday we go to Vorarlberg to Admira
Finally going abroad again, but really! On Saturday, the purple mile-eaters will be in demand when they head to Vorarlberg for the first time in almost five years.
So that no one gets lost on Saturday, firstly: simply ignore the Admira preset in the navigation system, after all it’s supposed to go west. And in the destination town itself, be careful again, this time we are heading for the economic center of Vorarlberg a little further north and driving to the other side of the Dornbirner Ach, to Rohrbach!
The blue and white Dornbirn
There, on Forachstraße, there are three main playing fields and a hard court – not bad, and yet a no brainer compared to the 12,000-seat stadium on Birkenwiese, which is just under three kilometers away. Stadium conditions here and elsewhere, our opponent can even afford an April Fool’s joke in the social networks and announce the imminent groundbreaking for a real gem – well, the western Admiran will be able to live quite well with the existing infrastructure.
Founded in 1946, SC Admira Dornbirn was promoted to the Regionalliga West for the first time in 1979. In the most successful year in the club’s history, the club also won the Vorarlberger Cup for the second time. Over the past decade, Admira has remained consistent in the Vorarlbergliga before embarking on the adventure of the “VN Eliteliga”, as the autumn regional league is called in Vorarlberg, last summer.
Goal bet asked?
On this ambitious mission, the blue-and-whites succeeded right away and made participation in the current, national round perfect with a draw in Rankweil on the last weekend in March. Admira also achieved a draw last weekend, when the Rohrbachers got their first point in this Westliga spring in Telfs. By the way, both times it was a 1:1, which would be a good thing for our prospective opponent – only someone tries a goal bet for the match on Saturday…
Because 1:1, as is well known, our Austria can do that quite well. A bit annoying with the late equalizer against St. Johann, the draw with their own late goal against Hohenems was much more enjoyable. Considering that Dornbirn was far from such a happy feeling against the Emser Steinbocks in the 0:5 defeat two weeks ago, one could get the idea that our team is traveling to the Ländle as the favorites.
The travel fever has us again!
What coach Christian Schaider does not resist at all: “Apart from Hohenems and Schwaz, we’re slight favorites in every game”, the Bavarian lets it be known that the target is definitely the first “Three” of this spring season. The strengths of the upcoming opponents, who are sometimes unknown to us, can probably already be seen by studying the video. Our boys don’t expect easy games before the summer.
With joyful anticipation, preparations are also being made for this weekend beyond the issues on the pitch: “It’s our first away trip, so we’ll have to see how fit we all get off the bus.”smiles our coach, knowing about the importance of all the organizing trappings in national football.
Since one praises the lightness of being a fan. Whichever figure you make when you get out – come back as numerous as in the old days, the game starts at 4:00 p.m.!
Let’s accompany our boys on their mission in the tenth largest city in Austria, the largest without its own statute! Because if Dornbirn isn’t sure whether it’s blue or red, then we should convince them of the most beautiful mix that can be made: Let’s make the Rhine Valley purple this Saturday!
