Maggersno1Fan Posted May 12, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2018 - "We are Hamburg, and not you!" sing other HSV fans in the direction of the ultras. Police were on the pitch but have now moved outside the stadium where some of the ultras have already left the stadium. It seems that referee Felix Brych still wants to play the final few minutes here. - Sad, sad scenes in Hamburg as the black smoke billows from the ultras' block. They carried on playing as it burned it seems Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maggersno1Fan Posted May 12, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2018 90+17' - FULL TIME IN HAMBURG The referee finally gets the game back underway, Pollersbeck kicks the ball upfield, and the final whistle blows. After 54 years, the Bundesliga's only remaining founder member is relegated to division two. Applause from the majority of fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCFC11 Posted May 12, 2018 Report Share Posted May 12, 2018 It probably did burn the synthetic pitch a little, and it certainly looks a lot worse than it is but they are black coloured flares. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

handsofclay Posted May 12, 2018 Report Share Posted May 12, 2018 I follow FC Koln (Cologne). They finished below Hamburg and were thus also relegated but the passionate fans of the Billy Goats didn't go bleating about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshtonPark Posted May 13, 2018 Report Share Posted May 13, 2018 There was no fire, black smoke is used as a symbol of something that had died, passed away etc, death isn’t it. Personally think it looks good, maybe the players could have tried a bit harder during the season and they wouldn’t have had these scenes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clarky89 Posted May 13, 2018 Report Share Posted May 13, 2018 They needed to go down to rebuild. It's been on the cards since 2013. One of the great European clubs, let's hope we see them back! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SC&T Board Members Blagdon red Posted May 13, 2018 SC&T Board Members Report Share Posted May 13, 2018 To put this in some context, Hamburg were the only club to be ever-present in the German top flight since the creation of the Bundesliga in 1963 (before that German football was organised on a regional basis and Bayern didn't join the new national league until 1964). In recent years there has been a lot of unrest there between fans and club hierarchy and the black smoke bombs evidently signify the "death" of the club as a top-flight outfit / as the fans know it. It still can't be condoned, of course. But that's the background. There was no actual 'fire' and the final few minutes of the game were played out a few minutes later.

Last season they qualified for the Europa Cup yet this season finished bottom. They never adequately replaced Anthony Modeste their goal machine from last season. His replacement was signed, I believe, for €17M and I'm sure the Koln supporters would rather have spent half that on Diony. They would've had the same return in the goals column for 50% of the outlay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YorkshireSection Posted May 13, 2018 Report Share Posted May 13, 2018 No fire. Plenty of passion and a display of frustration, grievance and probably loss of pride (sweeping generalisation but German society doesn't do loss of pride and place that well). I'd much prefer this to apathy, something that is far too prevalent in today's game, especially in this country. #AGMF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Relegation the British way - Sky camera cuts to a 10 year old kid saying “oh well”. Everybody and everything has it too nicely in this country. You can’t really blame players these days in Britain for not showing much of an interest at times because that’s the mentality now. The youth coming through, that’s all they know. The next thought from a player these days is deciding the best instagram photo of the previous game, shopping for the best designer gear or what the next tattoo is going to be! The Germans have it spot on. In fact, everywhere else does.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
City Cat Posted May 13, 2018 Report Share Posted May 13, 2018 I lived in Hamburg for a year or so in the '90's. The other club, Hamburg St.Pauli was always well supported by the locals. Currently in Bundesliga2...great little ground at the end of the Reeperbahn, passionate fans, great derbies ahead me thinks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Popodopolous Posted May 14, 2018 Report Share Posted May 14, 2018 Wasn't a fire, was pyro/flares. Can see why it resembled a fire though- the black billowing smoke, the red looked alarmingly like Bradford fire on first glance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Holland away fans are put in pens, usually perpex all round etc, or in fences. Absolutely no issues at all, as it is all managed correctly.
