SV Austria Salzbrg ... the Changing of the Kit

A Bitter End and a New Beginning:

"On the 6th April 2005 Red Bull took control of the Salzburg Sport AG company and therefore also took control of the football club Austria Salzburg ... The initial reaction to the takeover was euphoric, even amongst the long-standing and most loyal fan groups. No more than a handful of fans harboured any feeling of foreboding as regarded the possible course of events in the following few months. However, during the initial few weeks following the takeover the first rumours of a break with the traditional deep purple and white club colours began to circulate amongst the fans. The talk was of a new FC Red Bull kit in red, blue and silver. This triggered demonstrations, petitions and a flood of open letters to newspapers from every corner of the Violett/Weiss fan community."

StT.

It takes the p1ss....instead of the fans starting a new club in the bottom league. Redbull should have been forced to start that team and the fans team carry on in the top division. Rulers of the game really need to man up against this.

Lets hope our more high profile,influencial fan reads this!!!
