    Liebe Eintrachtlerinnen, es war zu befürchten, dass im Herbst die Corona-Zahlen wie- der steigen würden und damit auch der Zuschauerbesuch im Waldstadion noch mehr eingeschränkt bzw. eingestellt werden müsste. Wie lange die erneute Durststrecke für uns alle werden wird… wir wagen nicht darüber nachzudenken. Wer zu einem der beiden Heimspiele gegen Biele- feld und Hoffenheim im Stadion war, der/die hat zumindest kurzzeitig ein klein wenig von der „Normalität“ schnuppen können. Endlich wieder im Stadion, Emotionen herauslassen, ein wenig die Eintracht unterstützen und singen, wie es uns so sehr fehlt. Natürlich hat es noch nicht viel mit unserem gewohnten Stadionerlebnis zu tun gehabt, aber immerhin. Auch Fgv war bei beiden Spie- len mit zwei Verkäufern an Eingängen vor Ort – auch wenn aktuelle Ausgaben nur online erschei- nen, haben wir ja doch zwei Ausgaben auf Lager, die nicht im Stadionverkauf waren. (Wenn man den Verkaufspreis als Kostenumlage festsetzt, dann tut es weh, nicht verkaufen zu können, wenn die Kosten angefallen sind…) Und was haben sich viele Fans gefreut, dass wir für sie da waren… In dieser Ausgabe widmen wir uns den zuvor noch nicht vorgestellten Neuzugängen, lassen in ei- nem Gastbericht einen Fan von seinen Gefühlswelten um Stadionbesuche zu Corona-Zeiten zu Wort kommen und blicken auf „verlorene Hauptgewinne“. Unser Titelbild zeigt übrigens den neuen Videowürfel, bei dem die Bilder auch um den Würfel her- um laufen können. Bleibt gesund! Gute Lektüre!

Waikato Badminton has been under a board structure for a few years now and from my perspective the structure is working very well. The board meet about every six weeks (more frequently if required.) Communication is open and honest and quite frequently via an email thread. Discussions are thorough, and decisions are usually reached within a reasonable timeframe. An effective board is a group of individuals who have a range of skills and: ▪ a group who meet regularly to look at the performance and strategic progress of the organisation ▪ at least one independent board member (for us that is Alison Storey) and other board members (executive directors), ▪ a group who can separate themselves from the day-to-day operations and take a birds-eye view of the business/organisation (strategic thinkers) ▪ a group who can debate the difficult issues and come out with a clear decision for the future of the organisation ▪ ultimately, a group who guides, and is committed to the organisation What another full year is has been for WBA.

  • Eintracht Frankfurt Kompakt Unter Wölfen
    VfL Wolfsburg UNTERSaison 2020/2021 | Ausgabe 8 WÖLFEN 11. Spieltag | 11. Dezember 2020 | 20.30 Uhr KOMPAKT 75 JAHRE ZU GAST: EINTRACHT FRANKFURT LIEBE FANS, herzlich willkommen zum 11. Spieltag und der Heimpartie unseres VfL gegen Eintracht Frankfurt . Wie bereits vor zwei Wochen beim furiosen 5:3-Nordspektakel gegen Werder Bremen legen die Wölfe an einem Freitagabend vor, um sich dann nach getaner Arbeit – hoffentlich mit einem weiteren Heimerfolg im Rücken – das Treiben der Konkurrenz in Ruhe anschauen zu können. Nachdem die Elf Oliver Glasners also das grün-weiße Duell gegen den SVW, der zuvor fünfmal in Folge Unentschieden gespielt hatte, für sich entschieden hat, wartet nun mit der SGE der nächste äußerst schwer zu bezwingende Kontrahent, dessen jüngstes 1:1 gegen den BVB ebenfalls bereits die fünfte Punkteteilung nacheinander und gleichzeitig das siebte Remis der Saison bedeutete – Ligarekord! Besondere Spannung verspricht die heutige Paarung aber zudem auch deshalb, weil sich beide Teams in dieser Spielzeit moralisch sehr gefestigt und als Comeback-Spezialisten präsentieren. Jeweils bereits fünfmal hat man sich auch nicht durch zwischenzeitliche Rückstände aus dem Konzept bringen lassen und am Ende mindestens einen Zähler eingefahren. So wie es den Wölfen beim jüngsten 2:2 in Köln gleich zweimal gelungen ist. Die Vorweihnachtszeit fordert angesichts des von der Corona-Pandemie beeinflussten ungewöhnlich engen Terminkalenders körperliche und mentale Höchstleistungen von Glasners Mannschaft. Bereits am kommenden Mittwoch tritt man beim Rekordmeister Bayern München an, ehe mit der letzten sportlichen Herausforderung gegen den VfB Stuttgart am folgenden Sonntag eine weitere englische Woche dieses besondere Jahr beendet. Mit der Vertragsverlängerung vom heutigen Interview-Partner Tim Siers- leben und der Verpflichtung von Aster Vranckx laufen die Zukunfts- planungen bereits auf Hochtouren.
