Comments on: Borussia Dortmund and Cologne Supporters Are Top Class http://www.bundesligatalk.com/borussia-dortmund-and-cologne-supporters-are-top-class/900 News and Analysis of the Bundesliga Tue, 07 Sep 2010 09:47:30 +0000 hourly 1 By: Geoff http://www.bundesligatalk.com/borussia-dortmund-and-cologne-supporters-are-top-class/900#comment-12292 Geoff Wed, 24 Mar 2010 10:13:27 +0000 http://www.bundesligatalk.com/?p=900#comment-12292 I agree with sg. I was at a Southampton game recently, ended up in an enclosure where fans were allowed to stand the whole game (despite the seating). The atmosphere was outstanding. Not as loud as a subsequent Eintracht Frankfurt game I went to a month later, but Frankfurt had 50,000 fans there, 20,000 more than Southampton, so it's understandable really. I think English fans are equally capable of generating special atmospheres. http://www.worldfootballcolumns.com/ I agree with sg.

You were lucky to watch this specific Cologne game though, lots of storylines. (Poldi against his old team, scoring after a record drought, second game against league leader in a row, close to the very end, satisfying result for Cologne...) That being said, Cologne has a very good reputation atmosphere-wise. I'm still amazed at the fans showing up and singing and cheering in second league against some no-name team on a cold Monday night. You should try to catch the BVB-S04 and FC Köln - BMG rivalries next... After the two Dortmund supporters, I can add my agreement as a Cologne fan.

More and more people in the united Kindom are starting to follow Bundesliga teams. Borussia Dortmund has official fan clubs in the UK, and people are travelling to home games. Being a spokesman for one of the fan clubs ( Planetdortmund Supporters Club) i know that Borussia is very proud of having fans over here. We even got interviewed in the stadium, infront of 80.000 people, during half time ( against Nuernberg). It is great that ESPN is offering live Bundesliga games.

As a Dortmund supporter, it makes me very proud to support my club whenever I see a picture like this. You make a great point.
