Baltakos: “Ask Beo about Panthessalikos, the OAKA doesn’t have cameras either – Next week the decision on Poget”

The data surrounding the conduct of his final Greek Cup Betsson analyzed in his interview in “Metropolis” o Takis Baltakos.

The president of the EPO said that they should ask him Achillea Beowho is responsible for the Panthessaliko if it will be ready to be held Panathinaikos-Aris in the presence of people, while he explained that neither OAKA it has cameras and that’s why the big match with fans can’t take place there either.

At the same time, he was also asked about his stay or departure Gustavo Pogetsaying that next week there will be a final decision on his future.

What he said in detail:

“EPO is obliged to comply with the announcement of the Cup. The announcement is clear, when one team comes from Thessaloniki and the other from Athens, the venue is in Volos. After the 2022 final between PAOK and Panathinaikos at the OAKA, PAOK requested that when one team is from Athens and the other from Thessaloniki, it is not possible to move 20,000 people to Athens and on the other side to travel only 500 meters.

We heard this request and made the decision that when there will be one team from Thessaloniki and one from Athens then the Cup final will be held in Volos because it is a stadium that meets the conditions for such a match. If the new law did not come out then the field would be ready.

Now, the stadium also needs cameras and an electronic ticket and that is why the match between Volos and Kifissia will be played without people because it does not have everything that is needed according to the new law. Volos could not know from 2022 that the law will change.

Before the new law, Panthessaliko was suitable for competitions. For the cameras that Panthessaliko needs, the amount is not large, but for the installation of the electronic ticket, it is enough. I don’t know if there is time and both can be installed so that this year’s Cup final can be held with the presence of fans of both teams at Panthessalikos.

To understand the amounts, if there are 5 cameras in the stadium, 50,000 euros are needed. The police are asking for a lot of cameras both inside and around the stadium. Time is the problem, not so much the financial issue. Panthessaliko does not belong to EPO, but to the municipality of Volos. That is why it is a good idea to ask the Municipality of Volos and Mr. Beo.

As for the request of Panathinaikos, the green PAE stressed that if 11,000 tickets are given to each team then the final should be better behind closed doors because it is afraid of incidents because with the new law… if the lid falls on the stadium you will be punished – you saw what happened to PAOK – and thus Panathinaikos is afraid of not carrying a punishment for the new season. With the current data, the final will take place in Volos behind closed doors.

Regarding the OAKA that you are telling me and Aris to change his mind and accept a change of seat, I want to point out that the OAKA is not ready either. OAKA has turnstiles, but no cameras. The new law came out after the policeman was killed. After today’s meeting, even if there are no ups and downs, the Cup final between Aris and Panathinaikos will take place in Volos and without people, period and dash”he emphasized.

Regarding the issue of coach in the Greek National Team: “Normally this would be a matter for the new management of the EPO, but since there is a friendly game with Germany in June, Greece cannot go without a coach on the bench. The official matches of our representative group are in the first week of September against Finland, so our national team must have a stable and reliable coach even before the friendly with Germany. Of course, if Mr. Poget stays then nothing changes. Next week there will be a meeting of the Executive Committee of the EPO to decide what will be done with the matter of the coach on the Greek bench”.
