Most of the banners are hanging upside down because of a very serious and unjust incident which happened before matchday 1 of the Bundesliga. About 50 Eintracht Fans were travelling to the match vs. Schalke 04 to Gelsenkirchen by Coach. The incident happened at a roadhouse: A smaller group of "fans" didn't behave correctly and destroyed some chairs or something - we don't really know. Most of the fans remained sitting in the coach but: They also got prohibited to enter any stadium in Germany for the next 5 years! The German police treated them like those who really demolished the roadhouse! To our mind that's not acceptable! Thus the reason for the banners hanging upside down is showing our protest against unjustified bans on entering a stadium. It's some kind of consolidation for the fans who must stay out. It shows them that we are still thinking of them and fighting for their rights.
Das Ergebnis ist einfach nur enttäuschend und unverdient. Aber das Spiel ist ein Spiegelbild der Saison: Dumme Tore kassiert und vorne die Großchancen einfach nicht reingemacht. Das muss nächste Saison einfach besser werden!
Die Saison ist beendet und es wird bilanziert. Ich bin mir sicher, wir alle haben unsere Eintracht zahlreich unterstützt. Und wie oft (heim und auswärts)? Bei mir sind es
22 Spiele
Zudem war ich im Waldstadion bei der WM (Portugal - Iran).
