Rewarding the Supporters

[Rev Algenon Stickleback H]

So Germany doesn't have hooliganism????

I didn't say that.

Germany are proper moody these days- seriously seriosuly renowned for having a pop at each. They've not lost their city rivalries remotely.

There is trouble at German games, but I've been to quite a few over there, and there just isn't that "edge" you can get here with travelling supporters going to/from games. You just don't get that sense that soemthing's about to kick off if there's one bad comment.

And it's not as if they don't drink either. You go to away games on a train and it's normal to see guys bringing a "party 7" each to crack open for the journey. It's just that somehow they don't turn into the obnoxious aggressive dickheads that too many English lads become after they've got a few beers in them.

Maybe the Germans are drinking v.v.v. weak beer?

Now, considering our wonderful start to the season, any chance of the club doing something similar?

Fans of Bayern Munich, who have made their worst start to the Bundesliga for 43 seasons, will get a chance to drown sorrows before Saturday's home match with champions Wolfsburg. The Bavarian club are to give away more than 7,000 litres of beer before the game as part of a sponsorship deal with a Munich-based brewery. The same deal also saw the players and coach Louis van Gaal dress up in traditional Bavarian costume, including lederhosen, for a photo shoot this week, Van Gaal was photographed grinning as he held up a half-litre of beer but the former Barcelona and Netherlands coach has had little else to smile about at his new club. Bayern have taken only two points from three Bundesliga games and are languishing in 14th place after Saturday's 2-1 defeat by promoted Mainz'

I think I might know the answer to this.

Dishing out free beer in Munich is like handing out free coals in Newcastle.
