For the “no” of the fire department in the “Nikos Galis” tournament: “Minister Mr. Vroutsis issued a new gazette on 8/30 that all indoor stadiums in the country should have an operating license and a separate paper from the fire department. The stadium had a temporary license and we were waiting to get the new one. Ten days ago we were discussing this matter. The stadium belongs to the municipality of Rhodes and not to the region. Something happened today and at noon I was informed by the fire department that we do not give permission. I had informed the municipality ten days ago since the new gazette came out».
About how the tickets were given: “I don’t know that. It is not my responsibility. I cannot give permission to hold a match. The stadium does not belong to the district. I tried until the last minute, it’s a matter for the fire department and I was informed in the morning».
For the reason that permission was not given by the fire department: “I can’t tell you about that. The fire marshal told me I asked for some things and they didn’t happen. I don’t know exactly what happened. It is the responsibility of the municipality and not the region. We will try to solve the issue tomorrow and have people in the next friendlies that Panathinaikos is also playing. The district is willing to help».
