I forgot to ask this question: Why do you support Mainz when you're from Frankfurt? I know you said before you didnt like Eintracht and their fans(dont know about FSV), but why plucky little Mainz of all clubs then? It would be like if a guy from L.A were fan of Milwaukee Bucks or something like that.


I wanted to support a local club. Mainz is the only club who was actually run reasonably well. 2nd or 1st league was not important for me back in the day. Obviously, 1st league now is better than failing promotion multiple times in a row, though. :lol:

Eintracht was in shambles when I started following football. They even almost got relegated to amateur football due to failing to submit licence documents one time. They were what HSV is now, only even worse back in the early 2000s. :lol:
Actually, they still are a mess until this day. Bruchhagen got them back on track to becoming a regular Bundesliga member but honestly as the major club from a big city like Frankfurt they should be doing much better than they actually do. Chronic underachievement club.

FSV Frankfurt was always bankrupt.
Darmstadt was in the Regionalliga, sometimes even lower.
Offenbach sucks as well (and still do lol).
Waldhof Mannheim bankrupt, too.
Wiesbaden has no relevant club.

Good to see that the situation in Hannover is still a mess and it gets worse and worse.

Horrible coach, bad team and Martin Kind. I could see that being the combination that takes them to the second BL.

Who cares if they are a a mess. Still a great club who was part of one of the greatest European Cup finals ever against Real Madrid. Great stadium and one of the best fanbases in Germany. But hey, it's not my choice.

Nothing that has a thing to do with Frankfurt's hools.

Only Champions Cup titles count, if No_20's counting... :P

Really interesting that Darmstadt's is, by far, the most expensive one and I'd really like to see what an english fan has to pay to watch a whole season at his teams stadium.

Didn't Paderborn have the most expensive season tickets last season? Darmstadt are doing the same, just trying to get the most out of their one season in the BL.

Not really surprising to see the plastic clubs top the list. They dont need the match day money.

But heavily sponsored HSV, ruled by a billionaire with his money who saved their a$$es a couple times, does? :confused:

Well HSV is not really ruled by a billionaire, he's just sponsoring them and if I'm not completely wrong he's even asking the money back. The millions for exchange market are just a low interest loan.
