Bundesliga review

[Bembeltown]

Funny story that I learned about yesterday:

Mainz was playing at home last weekend and they had a big display to celebrate some club anniversary. We absolutely love Mainz fans as they are the media darling over in the Rhein Main area and in general some useless twats who tend to have a big mouth, but never manage to bring a considerable amount of away fans to Frankfurt. Reason (according to them is) that the Frankfurt fans are too violent and anti social, so no one dares to travel up to Frankfurt. Yeah...right...

Anyway...

About 10 Frankfurt fans (Honduras gang, fans with south american background supporting Eintracht )got tickets for the Mainz home section and prepared a small display as well.

So they sneaked in and when Ultras Mainz was starting their display the Frankfurt fans unfolded a flag surrounded by birthday candles as well. On the flag it was written "Mainzer Hurensöhne" (german for son of a woman).

After they made sure that the Mainz fans correctly display the banner they got out of the arena asap. Only one guy stayed inside and filmed the reactions of Ultras Mainz which were not amused at all.

There is a small video of it and you can see how the speaker inside the arena congratulates the Mainz fans for the nice display. All that while you can see the "second" flag which insults the Mainz fans. ;)

Not easy getting a hotel in Dortmund for the Bayern game, everywhere is full. Loads of Bayern fans must be buying tickets on the black market.

Was reading something today about Bayern winning the Bundesliga for the quickest time in it's 50 year history. Amazing as it is, I couldn't help wonder about football pre-Bundesliga. What happened? Is all this history disregarded? Was there a big re-branding like here in England with the Premier League?

It was played in 5 regional divisions with play-offs and a final, so you can´t compare it. Germany was the last of the big european nations to introduce a nationwide (and professional) football league

that's crackin ha ha
similar situations happened on couple of occasions in Poland too
it`s trolling to the highest order and required a lot of courage to do such thing and that`s why it so rare and valuable :D

Bayern's line-up today...

Starke - Rafinha, van Buyten, Boateng, Contento - Tymoshchuk, Can - Shaqiri, Pizarro, Ribéry - Gomez

Can there be more rotation?

 

[LoveCity]

Bundesliga fans - I'm interested in how many fans Dortmund have? They get the biggest attendances in Europe with great ticket prices but do they have a huge fanbase? They never struck me as a huge worldwide club although I'm sure they're getting a lot of new fans at the moment. The population of Dortmund is only 580,000 so where do all their fans come from? Around Germany? Or are they mostly locals?

I ask because I've been interested for a while in the "cheap prices, more fans" model and wonder if it's something City could use in England as we have a huge local fanbase (but not a huge global fanbase yet) but only a small % can afford to go to games every week.

Dortmund leading 5:0 at HT lol. Gündogan and Götze with 2 goals each so far.
