“For once, please skip the beer and sausages at the stadium,” urges the “FPMG Supporters Club e.V.” (formerly Fanprojekt), the only umbrella organization and advocacy group for all fans recognized by Borussia, with 6,500 members, in a statement ahead of Saturday’s match (3:30 p.m.) in Leipzig.
The reasoning: “While purchasing a ticket is essential to enable the protest against RB and to support our club, fans should refrain from buying food and drinks at the stadium. Every additional euro that goes directly or indirectly to RB is counterproductive and, in this specific case, avoidable.”
Gladbach Ultras to Hold Further Protests
The 4,700 visiting fans are instead encouraged to use the countless alternatives available in the city for getting to and from the stadium.
In addition to calling for a hunger strike at the Red Bull Arena, the Borussia ultras have also announced the usual protest measures from the previous nine away games against Leipzig. “The 19-minute silence, accompanied by loud booing while the opponent has possession of the ball, has now become established and is a fundamental part of our protest,” the statement reads. In addition, fans are once again asked to refrain from hanging up fan club and group flags.
It remains to be seen whether the hatred and lack of support for RB Leipzig in the stands will truly inspire the Gladbach players, who are fighting relegation, on the field. Borussia’s record against this unloved opponent has been poor so far. In nine away games, they have yet to secure a win and have managed only four draws.
