On the terraces: Dortmund ultras miss Klassiker win, Bayern ultras take aim at Uli Hoeneß, Stuttgart protests continue
In a weekly Newsletter, Matt Ford keeps an eye on the action off the pitch in the Bundesliga and German football, explaining what’s going on from fan protests to finances.
Borussia Dortmund won in Munich in the Bundesliga for the first time in ten years on Saturday – but their hardcore ultras and active fan groups missed the game after encountering problems entering the stadium. Their Bayern counterparts had no such problems, but they did have a sarcastic response to comments made by honorary president Uli Hoeneß last week. Meanwhile in Stuttgart, the internal politics have continued as Heidenheim's comeback went up in smoke.
This is Matt Ford’s eleventh “On the terraces” newsletter. The first newsletter for Gegenpressing was made available for all subscribers so readers can get a good idea of what he’ll be covering in German football this year. If you like what you see, please consider taking out a paid subscription.
