Delighted to have just discovered your channel! I'm Ole and I actually work at the Ruhrstadion doing graphics for the club- You might have seen the drawings they post after victories or the advent calendar I designed this year. Always amazed to see international fans of a not really well-known team like us. Curious to know what drew you to Bochum and how you became a supporter. Keep up the amazing work, and if it brings us good luck- keep making VfL-Videos, for the love of god keep making videos 😂!

It is so fantastic to see how passionate you became since your Dortmund stadium tour videos. I started to watch because of the DH Gate jersey videos and I stick to it because your love for football and that club is so likeable. Keep going and don‘t worry about your pronounciation. I am pretty sure the Bochum guys accept you as one of their own, no matter how you say it ;)

Fantastic to see Bochum finally get their first win. I'd always look out for Hannover and Hertha Berlin's results with the time I spent in Germany as a kid plus other close connections as well. The enthusiasm you've given into bringing us the bundesliga and the passion you've got with Bochum this is also one of the first scores I look out for of a weekend.

[@WhiteHartDane]

Again, this was almost make or break. Thankfully the three points stayed in Bochum. You can say that the so-called "Winterpause" has come at the wrong time for VfL, but the main thing is that you've now closed in on that 16th place. So far so good. Merry Christmas to you. 🎅🎄🎇 Thoughts also to the victims of the horrible Magdeburg incident. If a Weihnachtsmarkt isn't safe, what is?

[@SE-HH]

As a St. Pauli Fan, I must hope we keep Bochum behind, but your enthusiasm is fascinating. Imho, a lot will depend on the winter transfers. There is a rumor that they think to hire Christoph Kramer, which could be a game changer, not immediately, but longer term. If I can dream, Kiel 18th, Heidenheim 17, Bochum 16 and beat HSV in relegation... it´s christmas time, so wishes are allowed ;-)

[@RysFootyParadise]

Being honest, you guys look stronger than us on the pitch so far… I’ve seen you play twice this season… I think there’s a chance Heidenheim could be in trouble - but it’s still early days…

[@jamieandtherandomstuff]

Awesome win mate. You're making me fall in love with Vfl with all your vids. 😂😂

[@yannick3806]

Ry, I am just happy for you with the 3 points and all. The commitment to singing good old Herbie is beyond anything I've seen so far. Sadly, our Mainzer boys are next up for you, and I think it's gonna be tough. Regardless, I hope that VfL will stay up. Maybe next season you can come visit our ground then! (Which team does the gf support? Maybe you can convert her to Bochum as well, since she already seems to be nailing the pronunciation)

[@RysFootyParadise]

She hates football 😬 (weirdo 🤣) but Bochum makes people do crazy things - she’ll be a VfL fan before the end of the season… 😉💙

Herbie's song "Bochum" is, hands down, one of the most beautiful tributes to a city i've ever heard. it gives me goosebumps everytime i hear that bloody tune. those lyrics were brilliant when the song was released, became a bit sad after the economical decline of the village. BUT they are still proud and defiant. This song just offers so much catharsis to the audience.
