[@brandonreyes1920]

they can be a top team in bundesliga if they continue to spend in players who'll fit their play style, and grow a bigger stadium as they'll need more revenue

[@mvhdm1]

Can y'all do a Derby Days video on Union - Hertha Berlin next season? Congrats to Union Berlin on their promotion!

[@AA-bl6sg]

From Germany I always supported Hertha from being a kid, however hats down to the amazing Union fans, still the best fans in Berlin.

ist etwas länger her aber ich antworte mal. Als Mitglied hast du Vorkaufsrecht für alle Spiele. Bei Topspielen sollte man Mitglied und Dauerkarteninhaber sein um Vorrecht zu haben. Als Beispiel: 1 Woche lang haben Dauerkartenbesitzer+Mitglieder Vorkaufsrecht. Danach eine Woche Mitglieder bzw Dauerkarteninhaber(also welche nicht beides sind) Und danach beginnt der freie Verkauf

[@PainajainenHKI07]

I'm from Helsinki, Finland. I've watched hockey and american football all my life, been extremely passionate about it. This documentary got me into european football and started my journey to being a fan of Union. Amazing history and an amazing club. Thank you and good job.

[@Ascending11]

I'm from Weimerica, and Same. I watched documentaries and vids like this on FC Wimbledon, Sheffield FC, FC Freiburg, and the likes. I can understand and appreciate the love of a club more so now.

[@elimengem5731]

Doesn't really surprise me that a city like Berlin would create a club like Union, HOWEVER the atmosphere they created on the night of the match still blew me away. I get to attend quite a lot of English football in the top division and I don't hear anything as atmospheric as what Union in the Second division get to experience. You can't underestimate the importance of standing room sections, and I implore everyone to head to Berlin and experience it for themselves if they get the chance. And keep fighting for Safe Standing in England! It is the only way forward!

[@theoschmidt54]

Eli Mengem They are clearly not in the spotlight. If you have ever been to Berlin you know that Hertha is more supported.

[@tylerwessling3402]

British clubs need to realise the game belongs to the fans, not foreign businessmen in it plainly for the money. Leagalise safe standing. Legalise pyro. Against modern football.

[@dashielsidhu925]

[@UnionBerlinOnMyMind]

Great work, Eli. Every football club should be a members' club. St. Pauli and Union Berlin have great principles and values. It's not always about success, which is what the most teams and fans rooting for these days. You have to inspire and get inspired. These teams make football even more beautiful.

Last weekend I was at their stadium, at 2-2 with Regensburg. It was a fantastic atmosphere, I saw kids, women, old persons, all of them shared fantastic feelings.

When you are in Germany, there is no way around the Schalke Fans, or Ultras Gelsenkirchen. The clubs history is huge. With over 130.000 members, a unique atmosphere in one of europe's most modern stadiums, the Veltins Arena and the love for football in this region, it is definitely worth a visit !

[@riokharisma4774]

Great story! Here in Indonesia some clubs are owned by fans by way of take-over. We built from scratches not to start a new club like FC United of Manchester but to prepare a fanbase strong enough to perform the acquisition. That way we dont have to lose the historical background of the club, of the community. Cheers!

[@acemultivitaminsaft]

Seriously COPA 90, take it from a German: Now that Union is in the Bundesliga for at least one season, this is the PERFECT Derby Days Episode, especially in the context of Berlin being in the Epicenter of Germany's division between East and West, Hertha being the Western and Union being the Eastern Club. Berlin is one of the most interesting cities when it comes to contemporary history and this Derby is the Essence of that in football. There was already a dispute in the off season over Hertha wanting to place the first derby on November 9th (The anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall) and Union being against it. Germany loves this format and this would be the perfect addition!! Lots of love from Augsburg!

[@thilo4475]

I Love this club! Thats my Club. And i am Happy that People from other Countrys See what a nice club oh sorry Family that is

Great video as usual! My team Darlington are owned by the fans and have just raised money to build there own ground back in the town. Would love to see a video on FC United as they are fan owned and are close to finishing the build for their first ground which they raised £3,000,000 (Something like this) for!

[@DerWurzelMann74]

I support Hertha BSC, but I would love to see them in Bundesliga next year! Its sad, that some fans on both sides have a rivalry. My father told me, that right after the Berlin Wall was gone, the two clubs had a much better relationship than they have today. :(

[@eliasafshar8983]

February, 19th 2023..They're 2nd in the Bundesliga. Hope they win the title this season..

[@tommyd3036]

You guys should do a feature on my team Stoke City. We may not be fan owned, but we have local owners who obviously care about the fans. Our season ticket prices are affordable and have been frozen for around the last 8 years and the club have put on free away travel for the past 2 seasons which is very impressive given the progress the club has made on the field in the last 10 years. It's an example of the new TV money being used in the right way to help benefit the fans and should be an example to the rest of the Premier League.

[@emperorvaIens]

Tommyd303 I wish my team, Arsenal, did that. I can barely afford tickets to the Emirates, sooner or later I'll have to stop going to the games, which is something I'd hate to do.

[@tommyd3036]

Dildo Faggins The game is nothing without the passion of the fans but the bigger clubs don't seem to understand that a lot of people can't afford the sky high prices they charge which isn't good for the atmosphere at these grounds

[@emperorvaIens]

Tommyd303 They care more about revenue then they care about the fans themselves. This really saddens me and it's one of the cons of supporting a "big club"

[@megusta7972]

Tommyd303 If only Stoke wasn't a shit hole :/

[@tommyd3036]

Dildo Faggins We may not be as big as Arsenal are but we've shown it's possible to progress on the field as well as care about the fans. Surely a club with a bigger turnover would be able to bring in some measures to help out the fans, but they don't. All they are interested in is maximising any profits at the expense of the fans

[@StefanG1310]

[@konf1ture848]

mal eine ehrliche Meinung aus deutscher Sicht: ich bin Kölner, stehe hinterm FC wie viele Andere . Und ich kann genauso nachvollziehen wie andere Städte Ihre Vereine unterstützen. Aber , und das ist wichtig zu beachten : MEINE MEINUNG: es gibt wenige Vereine wie Pauli, Union, Dresden die einfach so fucking sympathisch sind, weil sie die Kultur und Ihren Verein hervorheben durch GEMEINSAME Arbeit und nicht wie in anderen Vereinen wo der Kommerz herscht " ach hamwa wieder nen 20millionen spieler geholt? ausländer? torschützenkönig? nice" ich freue mich auf euch in der Bundesliga, liebe Eisernern und würde mich sehr freuen bald wieder andere Vereine begrüßen zu dürfen. :)

[@radicalrage1928]

This I by far my favorite Football Club since I saw sausage Caviar video about Union

[@Temp088]

Great Vid. Me as a 1.FC Köln fan, think you should adress the issue that we are facing in german football now: the captialising of the Bundesliga. Especially Footballclubs that are company/ investor onwed are getting more and more foothold in First 3. Divison of German Football. To drop some names: Wolfsburg, Leverkusen, Hoffenheim, Leipzig, Ingoldstadt... These Clubs often dont even have a real fan base like the tradional clubs do. They are clubs made out of plastic and money For example Leverkusen dont sell out thier stadium even if the play Champions Leauge aginst Atlectio Madrid. Football is for you and me, not the fuking industry. And yes I know that I have a romatic view on German Football but least I can sleep well at night ;)

[@gibskeinspass3743]

4 jahre liegt dein kommentar zurück. Und da frag ich mich dich wieso denn wolfsburg oder zumindest leberkusen keine tradition haben? Wolfsburg spielt seit 20 jahren bundesliga und leverkusen seit 40.

[@samhaokip9126]

I can relate. That is the same reason American football (soccer) isn't going anywhere. Commercial football is sady the new status-quo even in developing countries like China and India

[@MortanAMrk]

Wolfsburg have Volksvagen, if im not wrong, think leverkusen too have something simlair, i really cant remember but the rest are under the 50+1 right?

[@Ednet34]

@@MortanAMrk There is 50+1 in germany= Clubs should respect the fans and in order to make sure this happens the clubs belong to the fans. If an Investor supports a club for more than 20 years on a large scale and the interest of the fans is respected (ticketprices, standing places, and so on) the club can be owned by the investor. But that just works if the club proves that they are working with their fans and not to take money out of the club or do shady deals were the club is put at risk. If a company does it the way like abramowitsch with chelsea, the club wont get permissin to play in the first 4 leagues

[@jonasbusch1137]

You should also put in context that Wolfsburg as a city only has roughly about 100.000 people living there. The stadium itself has a capacity of around 30.000 seats. And yes, people of the city work at Volkswagen which is the headsponsor of the Club. Is that a truly NoGo if there is nothing else? Wolfsburg for example is by the way even older as a club than Cologne or other "traditional clubs" Tradition can't buy you anything except remembering "the good old days" I am living near Wolfsburg and like to go to the game once in a while and we both know that you can't compare that to a game of Dortmund, Frankfurt or whatsoever. But explain why it is not okay for the people living around Wolfsburg to have a club to watch and enjoy just because the stadium is not completely Full every match, just because the fans are not as loud as somewhere else. Stop looking towards others and better focus on your own club.

[@miamitv7725]

I am German and I Love Union for it's traditional and the fans are impressive

[@snssssns409]

Union is a shit club!

[@JackGillies]

As a hibs fan I love what Union are doing and I love the club culture I have been to Berlin and I have been to a game and it's great. Hibs should be more fan controlled and they should bring back terraces at Easter Road

[@ma90pr]

In Portugal there is a club called Belenenses that started from scratch a few years ago, separating from SAD (code city) a company that ones the majority of the club. Belenenses is back on the minor leagues with the support of all of their members. The team of the company (code city) had to change de crest but still called Belenenses and play on the first league on an empty national stadium.
