Embarassing fact of yesterday´s start to the Champions League group stages...Wolfsburg managed to get an attendance of 20200 people for their first CL match since ages. And thats as the current League runner up/Cup Winner.

At the same time the 3rd division match between Osnabrück and Magdeburg got a similar attendance.

Maybe people can now understand why a lot of people in Germany cant stand the likes of Leverkusen, Hoffenheim, Wolfsburg etc....

They are just an embarassment for German football and I dont want them to even remotely represent German fan culture in Europe.
 
Even worse, their attendance included 1,000 free tickets for refugees. And the match in League 3 took place in Magdeburg, which is 45 minutes down the Autobahn from Wolfsburg. Recently Wolfsburg managers announced to take action against season ticket holders, who just buy cheap season tickets to see matches against Bayern or Dortmund, but never turn up for the rest of the season, so that the ground always look half empty. And their match vs. Ingolstadt last weekend had the lowest number of viewers watching on Sky so far this season.

We'll have less of that. Have you not read the CoC?

"13. There will be no criticizing of FC Ingolstadt 04 on the Bundesliga thread. With the punishment an insta ban for those that do"

Sorry to disappoint you Alex, but I've never seen FC Koln lose at home, and I'm attending their next two home games.
 
Okay, my 8 games in 13 days starts tomorrow, so I might as well try some predictions.

Bochum 3 Fortuna 1 (Top v bottom, but secretly hoping for a sneaky away win)
Koln 2 Monchengladbach 1 (Looking forward to a feisty local derby)
Duisburg 0 FSV Frankfurt 1 (don't know much about these teams, but then again, I've never seen a blue Zebra)
Bielefeld 2 Bochum (I've got a feeling the wheels will come off for Bochum)
Leverkusen 3 Mainz 0 ( Hopefully that clown from the swamp won't score)
Koln 3 Ingolstadt 1 (Sorry Alex)
Hamburg 2 Schalke 2 (Slow, but gradual improvement for the Red shorts)

Fly home Sunday
Wash clothes
Return midweek

Monchengladbach 0 City 3 (Revenge for 79)

I do not think the attendance in Wolfsburg is so embarassing when you look into the fan structure. Maybe the Bundesliga saturdays are family events - the midweek matches are more events for that typical male football fan. The hardcore Wolfsburg fan is the worker in the Volkswagen factory or in one of the many companies of the business that surround Wolfsburg. This companies work a three shift system - the shifts starting at about 6 a.m., 2 p.m. and 10 p.m.
The only guys that like this can go to the matches without taking holidays are the ones in the morning shift - and even there night will be just one with max. 5 hours sleep.

Not all of the fans - and I can understand it, too - are hardcore fans that will take holidays for a group stage match against ZSKA Moscow...

The match next week on Tuesday night against Bayern is sold out. But that is a decisive cup match - and the opponent is more attractive...

The mighty Dortmund did not sell out their stadium yesterday either.

3 shift workers at Wolfsburg LOL
Yes Schalke Fans are all unemployed but can afford 50 euro tickets
What a nonsense.
 
Good win for us today and another clean sheet, 4 in a row now which is unprecedented for Wolfsburg. Massive week and half coming up with Bayern away midweek and then Man Utd the week after. On the fan issue, it wasn't great to see so many empty seats, makes me wish I lived in Wolfsburg, or at least had the money to go over regularly. But if you look at the % of the stadium that was full it wasn't close to beimg the worst in the champions league.
And good to see Kev start well for you ;
