About information transmission on April 10 by Nagoya Grampus
As previously reported, multiple violations by Urawa Reds Diamonds supporters have been confirmed during the match against Nagoya Grampus in Round 7 of the J1 League.
There is no reason why these acts should be affirmed, and I would like to once again offer my deepest apologies to Nagoya Grampus, the victims, and everyone involved.
On the other hand, on April 10, 2023 Nagoya Grampus posted on its website and SNS, "Regarding violations by Urawa supporters during the game against Urawa Reds," which is partly different from Urawa Reds' understanding. Therefore, we would like to express our understanding below.
In addition, we believe that such recognition between companies should be done in closed forums using face-to-face meetings, documents, emails, etc., rather than through websites and SNS, but the above communication by Nagoya Grampus However, since this has been done in such a way, we will also post this content on the website and SNS in order to be close to the feelings of Urawa Reds fans and supporters who have been worried and dissatisfied. Let me do it.
[Release excerpt from Nagoya Grampus ①]
"Rewrite the contents agreed between clubs independently"
We are not aware that there was any prior agreement regarding the wording used in the content of the communication from Urawa Reds.
We believe that the expression "rewrite" should be used when there is a process such as mutual correction, and we recognize that the content of the series of messages sent by our club does not fall under that category.
[Nagoya Grampus release excerpt ②]
"Despite the fact that there was no additional discussion between Urawa Reds communication on March 19 (Sunday) and the start of the match, it seems that discussions about changing the seat position from the 2nd floor to the 1st floor are continuing. ”
Urawa Reds' statement states that they are "willing to continue discussions," and does not state that they are "conducting" or "conducted." In addition, we did not mention the fact that our club had been approached for consultation even after the transmission, and we sent an e-mail from Nagoya Grampus to the relevant parties regarding the safety of standing room on the second floor. When we asked whether or not there was confirmation, we were unable to respond to that point, but as a result, our club made a false statement to fans and supporters on the grounds that the consultation did not materialize. We believe that this expression, which can be interpreted as a report, is inappropriate.
[Release excerpt from Nagoya Grampus ③]
"Even though both clubs had confirmed from the beginning that the number of seats required for the transfer would be secured and that Nagoya Grampus would handle the transfer at the stadium on the day of the match, the staff of Urawa Reds decided to transfer the tickets. Calls that mislead people to think that they will respond.”
Due to the fact that we had received many inquiries about the planned number of transfer tickets being sold out early, Urawa Reds supporters with legitimate rights were unable to obtain the exchange tickets and were unable to watch the game in the lower stands. We understand that you are concerned about For this reason, Urawa Reds Red Diamonds requested Nagoya Grampus to send information about the response policy on multiple occasions, but they did not agree. In the course of such a series of exchanges, we certainly received the information that "the number of seats required for transfer" was obtained, but while Nagoya Grampus had not transmitted the information, our club transmitted the information. It is not possible to do so, so we tried to relieve the anxiety of Urawa Reds supporters by sending out information that our club staff will support them locally. In addition, in order to implement it, we set up a system for away games with more than double the number of people than usual. It has been pointed out that "a message that misleads the staff of Urawa Reds to handle the transfer", but the content of the message from our club is "We will support you", and we will not act as an intermediary for the staff of Nagoya Grampus Our staff are on-site with the idea of doing anything we can do, such as line guidance. Needless to say, these actions were not intended to cause trouble for Nagoya Grampus, but they acted as if they were standing by the Urawa Reds supporters who rushed to Toyota Stadium. We believe that your comments that appear to be are not in line with the facts.
■ To Urawa Reds fans and supporters
We, Urawa Reds, exploit the passion of the fans and supporters of Urawa Reds team, players, and football, and incite them by publishing intentionally distorted facts in our owned media. I have never, and never will, do that.
Of course, if we post incorrect information due to misperceptions of facts or work mistakes, we will apologize and make corrections as appropriate, but the series of posts regarding the seat allocation change for this match against Nagoya will be published in the future. There is no plan to delete or modify it because it does not correspond to either.
Also, in this case, the club, which should be doing its utmost to support the players, teams, fans and supporters, has sent out the above exchanges in a way that everyone can see. I am sorry.
It is very meaningful for Urawa Reds to be able to fight with fans and supporters at Toyota Stadium and earn points.
From now on, I will devote myself wholeheartedly to the home games at New Saitama Stadium this weekend and the ACL finals starting at the end of the month.
Let us continue to fight together.
