German fans

[Albertz]

Home and Away, top notch I have total respect for them, they really know how to follow their team and are one of the most vocal and passionate set of fans i have came across whether it be Dortmund, Stuttgart ,Bremen, Hamburg Leverkusen or Hertha (these are the teams i've experienced so far) they are out of this world.

:clap

Are you sure it´s not just because you compare us the the dour english fans..?

Nah mate, i've travelled all over the world with Rangers, seen many away fans at Ibrox and the German fans who come over to Glasgow and also the people we've met in Germany have been brilliant.

[Mertesacker]

That's great to hear.
To be fair the Everton fans in Nürnberg were pretty brilliant as well.

I actually was in Bremen yesterday to meet with my best friend who is studyig there and took two pics.

This must have been about 5 hours before kickoff.

You guys were great, singing the whole time and funny. Every Bremen fans that come across was asked to exchange scards (even though they had white and green in them lol.)

The city was pretty empty though which was weird, must have been the wind because everytime I have been to Bremen in the past it was way busier.

Cool, nice to hear Albertz. :cool

I've only had good experience with Rangers fans too. Met some cool dudes before our CL game this year and they taught us some of their chants and we taught them some of our chants! Then we sang togehter LOL hilarious stuff.

Nice pics Merte.

Cool pics Merte...Can I borrow/use them? I´ll send them to chatpal that still haven´t sobered up after last night and pretend that I was standing there with a ticket for him..:D

[Mertesacker]

Sure.

[Schwalker]

Good..I owe you one ;)

The top reason to go watch Bundesliga is the fans, that is why even BOCHUM is a good match to see. IMO best fans are Schalke, but HSV has good punch too. Never been to Stuttgart though - got couple of mates who are stuttgart fans and they are fun.

[Mertesacker]

You need to go to Frankfurt, they are in a class of it's own imo.

Schalke fans are great but naturally a little bit more spoiled than Frankfurt's fans and they will start to whistle pretty soon when things aren't going too well.

this is amazing stuff, Frankfurt fans:

Yup...Frankfurts fans are described in german media as "aggresiv-fanatische" but create a lot of atmosphere.

[iowaplasticpaddy]

Offenbach fans are supposed to be good right? or just violent?
i'd like to see them in the DFB Pokal next season :D

But sad that the stadiums are not always sold out.

The support would be greater

If they where always sold out they would just build bigger stadiums until they where not sold out...:nono

hmm thats a open circiut that never ends. the question is....is this a good dilemma or a bad one?

[Schwalker]

A good one I think...the fans are half the game! :D
