HSV vs 1.FC Nürnberg

This weekend we went to see the game between HSV and 1. FC Nürnberg. It took place at AOL Arena (it seems that America's everywhere). To be honest I didn't have a faintest idea who is playing against whom before:) HSV - Hamburger Sportverein is a local team with a number of fans here. One thing I knew about them was that everytime they play police are very alert.



We met one and a half hours before the game at Hauptbahnhof (Central train station). And again, I was just lucky to get the ticket of a guy who didn't come. Thank you Levent:) On our way to the stadium we met a lot of fans and quite a few patrols. These policemen didn't look very peaceful thanks to the nightsticks sticking out of their pockets:)
The first impression after entering the stadium was simply amazing. I must admit I had never been to the football game before, so I guess that was why I was so impressed. Full stadium of fans singing HSV Fan song:



HSV Forever & Ever,
HSV all the way, all the way.

HSV we stay together,
HSV all the way, all the way.

Wir sind Hamburg, wir sind immer da,
An der Elbe werden Träume wahr.
Hier weiß jedes Kind,
Das wir Champions sind.
Wir sind Meisterhaft,
Hamburg ist die macht.

Unfortunately the game ended with a draw but clearly HSV played better and I felt sorry for them that they never scored. Anyway it was a good game. Maybe not an extraordinary one, but good.
Afterwards it was barely possible to get into the S-Bahn because all the fans tried to do the same. When we eventually succeeded we happened to see some women with bunny ears on their heads:


It turned out that that the blonde on the picture above with a box on her knees, who was selling drinks to random people, was in fact getting married soon.
