Frankfurt fans

[Tailwind]

 

[Wazza]

You’ve also got to remember that it’s easier to transport a good arsenal of tools when flying isn’t needed.

 

[Highway Star]

You think they take 40k to a Quarter but only 30k to the final?

Going by their forums, they think they're taking less than they did to Barcelona.

The big difference being they knew they'd get tickets ok for a half empty Nou Camp, while they've no chance of picking up tickets in Seville.

Shat it.

Has there been any mention of how many we are expecting?

Sounds about right, I'd say.

 

[willie johnston]

30k they took mate.

11hr train journey direct from Frankfurt to Barcelona makes it easy to take a big support knowing that with the stadium being so big they'll be guaranteed a ticket

 

[Calcio]

Has there been any mention of how many we are expecting?

Heard the 25k rumour too, apparently mentioned in police meetings in Seville that its 25k Frankfurt and 100k Rangers expected.

Frankfurt board member said different today though.

 

[willie johnston]

It will be an absolute powderkeg for a couple of days.

Like us at Villarreal all those years ago the Spanish police will be ready to handle it, truncheon over the napper etc

 

[Highway Star]

It will be an absolute powderkeg for a couple of days.

There will be a few incidents, as there would be with any crowd of that size, but overall it will be fine.

Particularly if fanzones are created for both supports.

Osasuna was the worst I’ve seen of the Spanish police - absolute disgrace!

 

[Gizmo]

Osasuna was the worst I’ve seen of the Spanish police - absolute disgrace!

They were awful.

I wasn't in the ICF, but I was in a newspaper photo next to a group of the lads who were battling with the police etc. I was getting all sorts of abuse when I got home "ya hooligan" etc

But, yes that was genuinely brutal that night.

 

[prenzlauerbear]

Fingers crossed, but I wouldnt bet on that.

I've said before on here that a lot of Frankfurt fans are sound; their Ultras are a different matter.

Just don't take any chances where they could even be around. It's honestly not worth it.

 

[SimonLeBon]

It's really quite simple they start anything they get battered.

 

[RangersForever]

Guessing they will be looking for a few flags to do that childish upside down thing and no doubt there will be plenty available with Rangers fans everywhere.

 

[Robert Marshall]

They took 10,000 to Barcelona.

We took 36000 in 1972

 

[BulletProofBear]

Particularly if fanzones are created for both supports.

Out of 100,000 travelling fans some MUPPET will piss on a statue and it'll be front page of the DR and debated in the Scottish Parliament.

 

[prenzlauerbear]

Guessing they will be looking for a few flags to do that childish upside down thing and no doubt there will be plenty available with Rangers fans everywhere.

As I said here, they are just losers. Plenty of decent Eintracht fans about but honestly, just boost so much as when they start talking about the Ultras etc.

 

[Blue and white ‘75]

You don’t half have a low opinion of your ‘fellow’ supporters!

Ever been to Ibrox on a euro night ? That’s why

 

[Wee Dick's Hairnet]

It's really quite simple they start anything they get battered.

If more than you have that attitude then the final will end up worse than Manchester.

 

[two2tango]

Osasuna was the worst I’ve seen of the Spanish police - absolute disgrace!

Me too bud

Hitting old women and children absolute scum bags

 

[nemessis]

The euro neds will need to watch their behaviour over there

The robocops will be drafting in troops and they won't take no shit or prisoners from any side, don't muck with the cops.

 

[Ataturk]

Has there been any mention of how many we are expecting?

 

[NeilFifeLoyal]

Their team's league form is woeful

frankfurt results - Hledat Googlem

And they play their rivals Mainz on Saturday at 14.30. Wouldn't mind watching that but don't see it as advertised

Also unbeaten in the Europa league that’s where It becomes difficult. That said we have been excellent as well especially in the knockout stages going to be some game.

 

[irvine96]

Managed Aston Villa as a teenager, in Seville, what will be will be.

Christ that's brilliant.
Manager at Aston Villa as a teenager

 

[SimonLeBon]

If more than you have that attitude then the final will end up worse than Manchester.

Do do we all just shit ourselves and let them batter us?

Read again what I said if they start anything.

 

[RfcIbrox]

You’ve also got to remember that it’s easier to transport a good arsenal of tools when flying isn’t needed.

Not that I would encourage it but there are tool shops in Seville. Thousands of fans queuing for lead pipes and hammers may look suspicious.

Tinpot.

 

[bluetonic]

Picturing bears flying to Frankfurt for this

It's a great shout actually

 

[Wazza]

Yes the Betis Red Sox shop at Decathlon there I believe.

 

[Essexjohn2]

They started outside. Some clowns were chucking shit at us and when the Bears went for them robocops button charged us broke 4 of my fingers

 

[RaoulDuke11]

That'll shut up a few of the sausage-lovers on here

You'd have thought we were facing a gargantuan invasion the way some folk were speaking.

I said it earlier in this thread and I'll say it again, but with more profanity this time:

WE ARE FU*KING UNMATCHED

This is logical. Germans are, on the whole, logical and good people.

There will undoubtably be more bears than Frankfurt in Seville, in my opinion.

This is true. Scottish people in contrast are also largely good people but are illogical as they will travel with no ticket or accommodation or purchase a ticket without means of transport to the venue 1500 miles away. It's hard to calibrate other than to suggest one's ability to apply logic is independent of bad character.

Got a link mate?

I agree, it’s fair to say that both Germans and Scots are, in the main, good people, but we are definitely more prone to illogical daftness. Hence why Sevilla will be hoaching with sunburned bears without tickets and not a care in the world.

 

[icrfc]

We met about 20 of the Frankfurt casuals in the Bavaria Bar in Dam Square the night before we played away to Feyenoord (they were flying out to London to play Arsenal the next day). I spoke to them for a while, they were playing it cool until I said "No Surrender" in conversation and then they wanted us to pose with photographs with them

Did they ask you to surrender?? Or was it impulsive defiance?

I've just been on their forum and they are applying mathematical formulas based on fixed values such as club and corporate allocations versus known capacity. There is little madness although they now have a fan zone to throw into the algorithm. Their calculation on travel or stay will almost certainly be based on known values including rail network capacities and train velocities rather than a desire to get totally blootered and not give a flying feck.

I really want this to go smoothly as you just know the SMSM will be itching for a chance to take the moral high ground. Let’s hope we can all behave, get blootered, win the cup and GTF without incident!

 

[icrfc]

I've normally found the Germans ok, both in Germany and when I met them at the world cup. This could be different but I expect most of the Frankfurt fans to be ok.

 

[Teddy bear]

Hope we don't have a 100k bears singing 10 German bombers all day.
Absolute cringe

 

[WW55 on the PRW]

German football fans don’t generally travel ticketless.

they take a towel!

 

[Unionist]

Hope we don't have a 100k bears singing 10 German bombers all day.
Absolute cringe

Those Nazi bombers were dropping bombs on people all over Europe and the people the length and breadth of the UK suffered greatly because of that Nazi regime.
So like most Germans who despised what Hitler done I have absolutely no qualms about the bears singing this song.
F*** the Nazis .

 

[cloodie]

Pretty sure we're not playing Nazis.

Hello,

first sorry, my English is not flawless. I'am a supporter of Eintracht Frankfurt.

It's true that we have a number of problem fans, but that's a minority. They are also not popular with many other fans because they also damage our club with prohibited actions in the stadium. So our club get fines from time to time.

When you played against Leipzig, well over 90% or 95% of Frankfurt fans supported you, even though you played against another German club!
Not because we think we'll have it easier against you, but because of your club's long history and tradition.
Even our President was looking forward to seeing you in the direct interview after the West Ham game because of your tradition. And almost all fans think the same way!

The violent fans tend not to write in our forums either, but what our fans write about you in our forums is always about respect and joy to have you as an opponent.

That doesn't mean nothing will happen at all. With so many people, something is always happening. Conflicts would also arise at an event with thousands of drunken nuns.

But you don't have to expect basic animosity from our fans. There isn't, the opposite is right.

Wunderbar!

 

[the_baron]

My flight here was nearly all Frankfurt fans, had my top on and a few came and spoke to me.

All good people in good spirits who are here to enjoy themselves just like we are, I know they have an element of troublemakers as do we but if that minority behave themselves I think we are in for a great couple of days mixing amongst each other.
