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.
