Eintracht Frankfurt On Tour

Xàbia Shrimper · Nov 7, 2006

Despite what the title says, these are Eintracht Frankfurt fans at Brondby in Denmark for a UEFA Cup match earlier this season. An awesome sight (and I have seen it in person a few years ago) but I hope our new stadium is built a little bit stronger that the Brøndby Stadion; wait until about 35 secs into the clip and note the concerns (too right!) of the stewarding staff!

Away fans having fun? Well, the second clip is from the first leg of the tie at the Commerzbank Arena in Frankfurt; anyone concerned about all-seater stadiums killing off the atmosphere (and that includes me) might want to ponder over this clip ~ could you see the Roots Hall stewards dealing with this?!

that would be a lot banning orders in the post, how dare the fans express themselves!

Having been to a game in Berlin (Hertha vs Schalke 04) last season, the fans there (in Germany) are absolutely bonkers!!

Bouncing up and down like Zebedee on speed - marvellous!!

Reminded me of WBA and their BOING BOING thing.

The Spanish bounce a lot as well. "(supporter) que no bote" ~ "if you don't jump, you're a (supporter)" i.e. "madridista que no bote" ~ "if you don't jump, you're from Real Madrid" as partaken in at the Mestalla in Valencia. The stadium shuddered then, but I think that was just because of me ...

Went to Feyenoord once, and their club song is a version of Daisy, Daisy, but by christ do they go for it.
The whole stadium felt like it was going to fall down.
Feyenoord v Eintracht. That'd be one to look out for.
