[QUOTE="mhnessie, post: 660353, member: 4324"] Hmmmm, I wonder if I've been a "bandwagoner" myself ? :cautious::D When I was a little boy Hamburg was a big number in German football and I was attracted by stars like Kaltz, Hrubesch or Magath. And this although I was born and grown up in deepest Eintracht Frankfurt territory ! :eek: But seriously, it's exactly as you say - stars and success attracts people and especially children. When Bayern is playing here in Hamburg the stadium is full of children that are Bayern Munich fans. Think it's time to change this, we need a championship or a title soon. And I certainly don't mean the relegation spot triple :mad: ;) However - I'm still sticking with Nick Hornby and his saying in Fever Pitch that you don't just pick your team, it just happens. You can't do anything against it and usually got caught for the rest of your life ;) One final thought: Fanship isn't and shouldn't be an ideology let's dont forget this when discussing here. We can be of different opinions but please don't let us getting personal. Regarding Red Bull - we will see how long it takes them to be in the race for a championship but I'm pretty sure, and different from Hoppenheim, they will become a contender. The problem is - in case one day Herr Mateschitz or perhaps one of his successors do not want to spend all their marketing money on football teams anymore it will be over immediately. To me nothing but a marketing project but football will also survive this and I have some understanding for fans around Leipzig to go there as they are desperate for top flight football in this part of Germany. If I had a wish I'd like to see RB and Bremen playing against each other for the final Bundesliga spot. Yes, it's to choose between the devil and the deep blue sea but it might be two entertaining games and in case Bremen will be relegated I certainly will open a very special bottle of beer or whisky to celebrate this. :D [/QUOTE]
