On the career there was one or two conversation between the belt and Ried kickers. You know each other. A large part of the Gurtner has already worn the (youngsters) jersey of the Rieder. At SV Ried, two ex-straps are under contract with Ante Bajic and Felix Wimmer. Around 45 minutes before the kick -off at 7.30 p.m., the standing grandstand filled up more and more.
