What happened Tomas? How come everybody went in the stadium?
Hi Dan, hi Everybody else interesting in that topic,
Well it was almost sold out..4808 fans supporting their team..http://www.bvb.de/?k%E5%84%ECY%1B%E7%F4%9C_c%E1%85%94 and that are partially good news! Normally this game is sold out in a minute and this time the regular fan clubs and supporter organization http://kein-zwanni.de/en/unterstuetzer_bvb.html did not purchased tickets. The bad news is like Copenhagen BVB wrote that there are still a lot of BVB fans which traveled. But for those who following the BVB regular there has been a clear difference in support.
Here are some pics from the people in front of the stadium...we are talking about 500 to 800 people, but keep in mind that you had another 10.000 which did not travel and did not pick tickets in the first place. Here are some German vids: http://www.schwatzgelb.de/2012-01-22_ku ... regen.html and here is the English SG match report which covers only a small section about the protest but will cover more in the next days: ''Due to the fact that amongst many others, our Borussia supporters were contributing to the boycott against high ticket prices under the name "kein Zwanni", a lot of our fans decided to not go to the stadium and listen to the radio in front of the stadium instead. We will inform you about these events in another article, let's take a look at the wonderful game instead.''http://www.schwatzgelb.de/2012-01-023_m ... tmund.html
So...it was another step...but like we have a saying in Germany: ''It is a thickly plank which we have to drill ''
Football needs to be affordable!
Cheers,
Thomas
So you have kingjayson types in the Fatherland as well?
Well bollox to it, as a season ticket holder i am willing to miss 15/20 minutes outside the stadium and then go in. The club already had my money so what else can i do?
Having a half empty stadium (hopeful) as the game kicks off is a good start especially as its on the box aswell.

That is also something what we are discussing. Buying tickets and not going in..to show the media an empty box. For home games the season ticket holder could also wait outside for some time. It is all about the awareness.
