Bundesliga review

[bayern blade]

I hope they sign some great players and smash the fuck out off you! Fucking hate bayern more than any other team and enjoy pep for 3 years as he uses you as a stepping stone to a much better club who just happen to play in blue and happen to be in England!

At least you've got a sense of humour :-)

We just won the treble, we can cope with the haters !<br /><br />-- Sun Jun 30, 2013 5:19 pm --<br /><br />

Fair enough. I still think Lewandowski could be up in the air as to whether he leaves or not, but we shall see. I also thought that Dortmund had no money, so fair enough again.

Dortmund have said they would rather have Lewa for another 12 months then let him go next summer on a free rather than sell him, as they think his form will earn them more money than the €25 million they would sell him for. This is a calculated risk needing a good run in the CL next season.
They earned about €80 million via the CL and got another 37 million for Götze so they have plenty money to invest.

Dortmund should have enough money to invest. The problem right now is that you question yourself who they will get for their own philosophies. Like you remark it in other threads - there is not much great players available, not even big talents - and the few seem to go to the established clubs. Dortmund does not want to pay big wages either.

The talents in Germany that made themselves a name last year in smaller clubs did not go to Dortmund.

And they do not have the time to build in no names anymore. They failed with that last year - their talents that came of the bench, Leitner and Bittencourt, left Dortmund now, too.

Dortmund starts the season starting next week - but until now Sokratis vom Bremen in the defense is their only new player. And he is no upgrade.

well, in english media german clubs are often called "fan-owned", which is quite nonsense, because it makes you believe, fans taking the decisions. In fact, the club bosses often decide against the will of the fans. In that case life for the managers could be a little rough at times :_), but they don´t really change their mind.

Visiting the Schalke 04 annual general member´s meeting last weekend, there was a nice example for it. The video shows the Schalke marketing director trying to explain, why he made a deal with the viagogo ticket company. It´s in german, but you see that obviously the fans have a different opinion about viagogo :-). At 0.14 the club boss tries to calm down the atmosphere, but does not choose quite the right words.

Nice link there Ruhr.
There are many supporters throughout Europe who will not deal with ViaNOgo!
Dick Turpin was a highwayman in England and used to rob people.... but at least he wore a mask!

Always read this thread. Used to follow FC 05 Bayer Uerdingen when I lived in Krefeld... I still check for their results to this day.
Although they are now KFC Uerdingen 05 (I think it is because Kentucky Fried Chicken get more customers than fans in the Grotenburg as in KFC... or the Gruftenburg as it was mostly quiet like a crypt and the apes next door in the Zoo made more noise! - Alles normal fur mich als sehr alle insel affes zuzammen).

Good luck to all for the new season... except for Gladbach! Hehe

oh, had some bad days at the Grotenburg. :-)
Sadly they gone down after the Bayer company decided only to sponsor their club in Leverkusen, but at least KFC had been promoted to League 4 last season.

Gladbach wir kommen! ;)

I think Viagogo are fantastic, I sell my season ticket for 7 euros, they sell a ticket to a fan for 15 euros, no fucking problem. Everyone's a winner.

You can't compare the Viagogo-system for Bayern with the Viagogo-system for Schalke/Hamburg and so on.
e.g.:
For Bayern home games the ticket-prices are limited to the official Bayern-ticketprice plus a certain fee. Imo it's ok and more or less fair.
For Schalke home games they (Viagogo) are allowed (afaik) to charge twice the price. Imo that's not ok.

And the fact that viagogo has no limit when it comes to tickets for away games (Champions League final...) is absolutely not acceptable and therefore I'm happy that the members of Bayern forced the club to end the partnership after this season (2013/14) and establish their own system.

Check out this link if it works

I have "had" to buy a ticket from ViaNOgo in desperation to watch City. Their mark up on the ticket price was not justifiable to any genuine supporter.
There will always be tourists to watch any top flight club and if you are happy with it then fair enough.

We have a chant at City "We are not... we're really here" even a banner at the Etihad. In days of watching City through thin and thinner, tickets would be found using any way and means.... with blues in every part of a ground. ViagNOgo appears to organised ticket touting with a conscience for the clubs.

Surely even in Hildesheim you could find a local Bayern FanClub where you could sort something out without resorting to VGG but if you are happy with what you do (and I know some City fans are)... like you say... no fcukin' problem.

Glad you have your own system after this season FCB-flo2.

I agree with you, I'm just saying that at Bayern it seems ok. I get my €7.06 back and the fan just has to pay about €15 for his ticket which is cheaper than he would pay a tout outside the Arena.
