At the traditional club SK BMD Vorwärts Steyr, alarm bells are ringing ahead of today’s spring home premiere in the Regionalliga Mitte (7 p.m.) against Wallern. The Red and Whites published a call for help to fans and potential investors on their club website in order to cope with the precarious financial situation.
In retrospect, wanting to establish yourself with a professional business in Austria’s 2nd football league is seen as a big mistake. The club’s infrastructure is showing clear signs of wear and tear, and the lack of an adequate youth center represents a serious hurdle to long-term success. It is therefore inevitable to “tighten the belt noticeably in certain areas”.
However, promising discussions with a potential investor, which were about to be concluded, failed, according to board circles. This investor, together with the SKV, had discussions with Mayor Markus Vogl regarding the infrastructure projects. The city and state then promised verbal support. In order to cope with the club’s share of financing the crumbling infrastructure, Vorwärts is asking its fans for financial help through lifelong memberships and match attendance.
On the sporting level, however, the SKV has some positive news: 24-year-old left-back Lukas Prokop, who has eight Bundesliga and 75 second division appearances, has extended his contract until the summer of ’25. He will certainly do his best today to give the fans a home win against Wallern, second in the table.
