  "account": "The concrete supports on the side of the East Stand at Bremen's Weserstadion have collapsed, but the stadium will reopen for a match on October 31. Werder Bremen plans to repair the partially fallen stand by the end of the month, according to reports. The Deichstube portal disclosed that the repair works would not be finished in time for Saturday's game against Paderborn but only for the following home fixture. The unfortunate incident occurred in early July when a concrete support beam fractured during modernization works at Weser Stadium. Fortunately, no one was injured. Bremen revealed that as part of refurbishment work in a section of the VIP area where window panes were to be removed, a load-bearing column was inadvertently damaged. This resulted in a partial collapse of the stand that can accommodate 500 spectators.",
