An account of my final trip to Signal Iduna Park to see the match BVB Dortmund vs Eintracht Frankfurt.
This is my account of a trip to Thüle to accompany the local fan club on its excursion to a special occasion: the home league of BVB's European Champions League quarter final match against AS Monaco. I was able to witness part of the organisation involved between the Football Club and its fan clubs, many from far away villages. A great evening was under way; a great sense of anticipation and excitement about the great night of European football ahead.
Then came the shocking news of a most sinister event.
Der Klassiker
I donned my supporter gear and caught the U-Bahn to the northern outskirts of München, to Allianz Stadium, home of Bayern Munich. Shortly after I settled into my seat, the seat to my left was occupied and a young man said to me “You’re from Australia aren’t you?”.
Two cities with proud heritages as coal mining and steel manufacturing centres respectively. The rivalry is intense but there is also something of a camaraderie between the two sets of supporters – even if they are loath to admit it.
