Stuck out in the far east of Germany, this must be one of their closest matches. Was it all-ticket?

I find it really interesting that a country so stereotypically straight laced in many aspects (punctuality, funcionality, ordered) can produce and allows such mental scenes when it comes to football.
Quite jealous they can achieve it whilst we can't take bottle tops into the stands for fear of fvck knows what considering a coin for example would do much more damage if thrown than a bloody bottle top

That’s not far short of what we took to Wembley for a midweek league game.

It was. Dynamo were allocated 20,000 tickets but others purchased tickets in the home ends en masse apparently. Around 100 miles apart.

We’re so controlled here, and up tight because of it. Until you seriously break the law that is. Then you can do what you like e.g. stab someone, let off with a caution. Throw emptybottle of water onto pitch...lifetime ban, name in papers, all over social media, social pariah, lose job, home, wife leaves you, kids into social care, become alcoholic and die a sad lonely death.
Barber OUT!

Yep, pretty much. I'm not advocating for the kind of scenes in the op's photo - that really is madness - but we've gone so far in the opposite direction we've completely lost sight of rational thinking - like the bottletop situation (why was that actually brought in!? Did one person throw a bottletop or something??). We just accept it all like sheepdog.

No, you haven't
I just can't believe I've never realised that the perceived problem is throwing a full bottle with the top on, rather than a bottle top, and ive had to have someone spell it out for me instead

Probably you didn't realise it because you couldn't be bothered to read a 70 page thread on NSC

Anyway. Incredible away support. Love Germany, they're properly passionate about their football over there.

Good days out for anyone willing to travel. When working in the Austria Tyrol I popped over the boarder a few times to watch games.
I’m going to try and recreate this scene in 1901 on Saturday. BLUE AND WHITE MADNESS! Hopefully I’ll add something to the already raucous atmosphere up there.

I'm currently in Dusseldorf and went and watched Dortmund v Gladbach last night. Incredible support from both fans.
Smart cards for drinking and branded plastic cups. The only negative was the smoking in the stands, can't believe how many Germans still smoke!
