    It should be mentioned that several clubs in La liga , Ligue A and even Serie A were promoted and managed to stay in the top flight playing in relatively small capacity stadiums, while the Bundusliga is in flux with heavyweights still in the Bundesliga 2 like Hamburg and Shalke.

    Bundesliga is the most fan friendly league in the world. Not perfect, but the best.

    I just think it’s crazy that my local stadium has just a few less average compared to ligue1

    And yet the powers that be, seems to think that Qatar Sports Investments and privately owned Super clubs is the best model for the future of the game.

        I’ve always thought if us Europeans are gonna downplay the quality of their league as tier 3 or 4 equivelant by English standards, we have to give them due credit for turning up to watch it each week - especially when they could be watching elite Basketball, American Football etc as you say.

        Also that figure comes without the help of significant away followings boosting the figures. If the US was scaled down to have the population density of any of the ‘big 5’ leagues, I suspect that figure would go up by a couple thousand.

    Well I’m not surpried, fan culture is insane in Germany and with massive, classic Bundesliga clubs like Hamburg, Nurnberg, Hannover, Dusseldorf etc, the numbers are guaranteed to be high.

        That’s certainly not an attitude any of those idols would be fond of buddy. We should be grateful they’re part of our history, others shouldn’t be grateful to us.

          Auf Reddit mag es wohl anders sein. In de Palz is des absolut die Meinung die jeder vertrete werd :) Absoluter Fakt wenn man jeden Pälzer fragt.

        And all that although not one of your reps misses a chance to pronounce how devastating your relegation was „for the region“.

        Always been a fan of 1. FUCK since that UEFA Cup tie back in 92/93. Shame what’s happened to your club (and ours) since those days.

          Yeah. Good old fiscal fuckery. Writing a big check that couldn’t be cashed to renovate their stadium for the 2006 World Cup (Fritz Walter Stadion). Ever since that move they have not been the same.

        Not mentioning Schalke which in fact is amongst the top ten clubs with the most members in the world is the real craziness
