And a club making a profit! Dortmund SHOULD be the example ALL European clubs are trying to copy.

Ah yes,they've always enjoyed being orchestrated in large numbers. Those Nuremberg rallies were quite something. Uber alles

Isn't that stand converted to seats for European games
Indeed, capacity is reduced for European games to accommodate seats which flip down, then for legue games they flip the seats back up and increase capacity by about 20% I think

Was thinking that too. But seriously what an inspiration German football is for way it's played and as a spectacle. The way forward for the beautiful game. Europe has taken a lot from English football and the Premier league but it's definetley time for us to sit and take notice because there's waves coming out of Germany right now.

only four out of the 18 Bundesliga clubs last season suffered net losses. Overall league profit was €55 million after taxes, and revenue rose to €2.08 billion.
In 2001, the German Football League (DFL) implemented legislation that required every 1. and 2. Bundesliga club to have a youth academy. These rules were very specific, including even a minimum for the number of floodlights clubs must have illuminating their training grounds.

Brilliant isn't it?
All those against safe standing can shove cheese wotsits up their asses!

Why is everyone going mental about the Dortmund fans. They are nothing compared to our very own NSK...

The success of german football at the moment is what happens when you do poorly in a tournament and don't blame the ref or the manager
Germany did poorly in 98 and 2000 with ageing squads. They had a look at themselves, realised what was wrong and did something about it.
This incredible production line of players they have at the moment are a product of that
Meanwhile england are very much playing catch up, after years of heel dragging

Good shout. It looks like they've forced all their club football to be built on solid foundations - no debt and good youth policy.
Our FA is so toothless it can only implement superficial changes for the benefit of the media - St Georges Park for instance.

As long as there are ground regulations stipulating the requirement to be seated then there is nothing the club or any of us can do. If you want it so badly I suggest you get writing to the F.A and ask them to change their rules, until then you're just moaning pointlessly about something without doing anything constructive to solve it. If the F.A received 500,000 letters then they would have to raise the issue and get the ball rolling.

Bad memories. No thanks..

Ah - I think I may have misunderstood the OP. I thought it was just saying how great the site of those Dortmund fans is.What, whinging about why we can't stand?
