It turns out we mistakenly labelled Der Dino as Hertha's Mascot, when in fact it's Hamburger HSV's. The responsible individual has received the fitting punishment of dressing like Der Dino for the rest of the week. Apologies.

[@weechill333]

Please post video of the punishment 😂

Crazy Dresden took 30,000 to an away game. Next up I'd love to see one on Raja Casablanca.

[@goschmax]

Dynamo took 25.000 supporters in the 2nd Bundesliga away against Munich 1860 in 2016. The audience average in the 2nd Bundesliga was in the season 16/17 21.000 fans per game. I love this club since more than 40 years. ❤️⚽

[@hansimgluck6789]

@@goschmax and after that tsv changed it rules so that happens again cuz they behaved that bad i really like their passion support in the stands but what they do off the field and after the games is awful btw 1860 had 20k on an away game in a league were the average is less than 1 k

[@quirinotr1374]

Yes it was really cool in berlin. I was there and it was extremly exciting. First Hertha was in front with 1:0 then Dynamo turned the match but we lost in penalty shootout. The game started 9 p.m. and I was at home 1 a.m.

I dont know what the oldest rivalry is that youve covered so far, but Karlsruher SC vs Vfb Stuttgart goes straight back to Napoleon (befor the football clubs existed). And for the fans of KSC its about the lost independence of their state Baden, now goverened by Stuttgart. David against Goliath. Really interesting backround!

[@aidygooner]

Do ROYAL ANTWERP (of Belgium) next! They're back in the first division after more than a decade of being in the 2nd division despite being one of the biggest and oldest club in Belgium. They've had financial issues. Also, similar to Celtic with the Irish connections, Royal Antwerp are super proud of their English roots and have played some friendlies in England last decade and took many supporters abroad.

[@markmatthews7202]

I do like Dynamo Dresden, always have. Mainly due to the fact that in Stoke-On-Trent there is an area called Dresden.

jo COPA 90 Football you might wanna reupload. At min 2:45 it says "thats DER DINo HERTHAS MASCOT" Thats wrong in many ways. The Dino is from the game against HSV that were called "DER DINO" for being the only club who was never relegated to 2 divison. But in season 17/18 they got relegated and thats how DYNAMO made fun of them.

@1:40 I mean there are clubs in the English third division who average crowds of 30,000. Using Barnsley as an example isn't exactly apples to apples. Also Doesn't dynamo Dresden have a serious right wing racist problem? Should hardly be promoting the fans as a shining light of German football fan culture.......

[@lifeiscreepingdeath]

You do realise that Dresden wore that "hate racism" thing on their shirts because of the fact that Dresden fans have a huge right wing Nationalist base, just like Dynamo Kyiv, who also had to wear "No to Racism" on their shirts. It is a sign of a club out of touch with it's own fans. Hansa Rostock and Dynamo Dresden have close friendship between fans due to their love of Nationalism. I know this as a fan of Kyiv.
