They are none other than the Herbst Meisters (half season champions 2010)! And their fans are fanatics. I could compare them to Glasgow Ranger fans or maybe even Port Power fans! ie wild, intoxicated, inflammable, obsessive and steadfastly loyal. And you guessed it.... Hubertus is Fan Nummer Eins (1)! The stadium holds 82,000 maniacs and when in full swing are so loud you need earplugs. The most obsessive choose to sit in what is called Die gelbe Wand (the yellow wall). This section of the crowd has two 'conductors' one to orchestrate the singing and the other to watch the game, therefore ensuring the correct song is sung at the correct moment.
BUT I got a special invite into their locker room! ;0
Cool
