Anyone coming from Leipzig had to get a combined coach+match ticket thing and travel to the game on the official BSG Chemie coaches. Not sure how easy it was on the Zwickau side.<br /><br />They wanted to avoid people going to the game just looking for trouble (like we would have, obviously).<br /><br />That tifo stuff is standard in BSG Chemie league games, even in the 14th tier or whatever.

They entered the team into the local Leipzig leagues (14th tier, I believe) and have had two successive promotions so far. They are currently in the 12th-tier 1. Kreisklasse Staffel 1 and have games against giants of the modern game such as 8th-tier Blau-Weiß Leipzig's THIRD team to look forward to this season. The reason they set up their own team was because they were becoming increasingly disillusioned with the financial problems of FC Sachsen and the fact that most people running the club were only in it for personal profit together with the increasing restrictions of fans at this level and the gradual erosion of fan culture in Germany (in their opinion).<br /><br />Diablos Leutzsch website: http://diablos-leutzsch.net/<br /><br />League link: http://www.leipziger-fussball.de/<br /><br />The atmosphere was relatively tame at the derby on Sunday, because the fan group that Lok Leipzig ultras hate most of all in the world are the Diablos Leutzsch (Dresden are a close second). The trouble I saw three years ago involved the Blue Caps and the Diablos, amongst others.<br /><br />On Sunday they were actually involved in a friendly with their normally hated rivals FSV Zwickau. This took place with the slogan "Tolerance - Respect - Liberty - Alternatives" or something, and it was used as an occassion for both sets of fans (RedKaos on the Zwickau side) to promote ultra+youth culture without the need for violence. They basically set off a load of flares and made fancy tifos.

Football culture is something surreal for an American :) <br /><br />Also, I read that you're about to make the switch from blogspot to wordpress. I have done this conversion with two blogs, so let me know if you come across any problems because I can help. :)<br /><br />-SeanSean Rahehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04495170106209844587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3338911017388638492.post-50117408266975303832011-02-08T18:33:34.336+00:002011-02-08T18:33:34.336+00:00"All night disco party"
