Not content with merely establishing their very own football club, a dedicated violet workforce will trudge out into the white Salzburg snow this weekend to construct a brand new fankurve. Despite severe weather in recent weeks, a site has been prepared for a 500-capacity structure to be built at the south end of the ground in anticipation of the big kick-off against SG Saalfelden in little over two weeks time.

A momentous achievement in the short, yet remarkable history of this cult club, the return of the südkurve represents the resurrection of a truly free violet fan scene to the city. Just how many people will make their way to support a familiar club in wholly unfamiliar circumstances is as yet unkown, though many fans are content just to see their Austria Salzburg live and breathe once again.
