Yesterday evening we finally had our first home game of the season against Flora Tallin in the EL qualifiers.
The match was obviously sold out and Ultras Frankfurt asked everyone to show up in "white" and 48000 people followed their request which made an impressive picture.
Home end had a banner with "my club" written on it and when the players entered white ticker tape was thrown around.
Tallin showed up with around 50 fans which is pretty impressive considering the cost to travel and the fact that they average around 800 people in their league games.
In the post match interview they were pretty excited to play at our ground as they never played in front of 48000 people. The attendance of the first match in Tallin was something like 7000 to 8000 which was a new record for them
After the match the Tallin players first thanked their fans and then came over to the home end where they were greeted with applause and "Tallin, Tallin" chants.
Some of their players even gave their shirts to our supporters in the home end.
It was a pretty nice moment of "this is what football is all about" especially as opposing teams rarely ever get a warm welcome/sign of respect from our home end.
