Waspy Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 Think you‘re getting mixed up a bit. The midweek game was at the Olympiastadion in Berlin. Midweek game, shite weather (horizontal rain), freezing cold and close to Christmas. Hertha never sell out apart from when Bayern or Dortmund are visiting, so the 29908 was probably what they were expecting. Seems strange that a city the size of Berlin can’t generate larger crowds. Hertha is known to be the club of Western Berlin. Some fans stick to their Eastern teams and people from the suburbs and the east couldn't attend Hertha games till 1989. The attachment won't be there for some Berliners and you will always struggle to attract new fans. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't link it ATM, but Copa90 had an interesting video on their FB page where they visited a number of different teams in Berlin over the same weekend. Seems like the city has a lot of teams at many levels in the league set-up and fans have close connections to their local teams, so may also be a case of the population being spread rather than focused on one or two big sides. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well aware of the history etc. Just find the overall support on the low side considering the total catchment area. Also, Dynamo Berlin fans should not be getting held up as examples of fan culture. Shower of right-wing clowns with a reputation of not just looking for a fight, but wanting to start them in the first place. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gavin_3110 Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 95th minute goal from the home team. Striker on his debut scores the winner .Brilliant header Terodde the scorer2-1 full time That was an absolutely compelling match, was out my chair when the winner went in, tremendous.A wee glimmer of light after that win with Terodde, Hector and Hoger on the park. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

German Jag Posted January 14, 2018 Author Share Posted January 14, 2018 Shocking defending gave Mainz a 2 goal start, but a hat-trick from Niclas Füllkrug ensured that H96, deservedly, got all 3 points.Next 3 H96 games are all Sunday @ 6pm which can get in the sea. Giving next weeks game in Gelsenkirchen a miss due to not being able to get back by train![emoji107] 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jagfox Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 Just watched Hannover vs Wolfsburg game. Pretty poor stuff and Wolfsburg snatched the points whilst also bursting my coupon. I think that’s their first away win of the season too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that’s their first away win of the season too. Was indeed poor stuff. Good goal from Malli, though the H96 keeper should have been better positioned. Apart from Bebou‘s volley which hit the bar, not a lot else from H96! Next up for H96, Hamburg, another 6pm Sunday game... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
