Fortuna on the verge of being promoted to the NRW-Liga (Fifth division)

The news broke rather silently but Fortuna Köln finally got the license for the NRW-Liga which means that they will be rewarded the promotion spot they lost in their last game of the season against VfL Leverkusen. Still things are not that safe. Leverkusen objected to the ruling and now the whole thing is back with the sports law courts. Honestly this is dragging on for far too long now. the teams need to prepare for the next season and even if there aren't the ridiculous amounts of money involved that are being dealt with in the top leagues it's still shameful. The players need to a security, as does the club and the coach. Right now the officials are making complete idiots out of themselves.
The facts are clear:
* Leverkusen doesn't seem to have the money to keep up a team in the NRW-Liga
* Leverkusen doesn't have a stadium fit for the NRW-Liga

Both of those rule out a place for them. Fortuna has all that and still they have to wait and wait and wait. This is just ridiculous.
