The preconditions for the protest of BVB-supporters in front of the Imtech Arena in Hamburg, the follower of the Volksparkstadion, could have been better: Pouring rain, freezing wind, and round about 5 degrees made me expect a maximum of three to ten other protesters who would find their way to the meeting point at the entrance of the visitor block. Marc Quambusch, spokesman of Kein Zwanni (no twenty - in reference to a twenty Euro bill for a standing room ticket), was later asked about the circumstances of the protest and answered: I can't even remember when was the last time that my feet were this wet! In the end, a remarkably number of 600 to 800 supporters in black and yellow met at the stadium, having their radios with them to be able to listen to the game at least. Although the official statement said that the stadium was sold out, it has to be said that this surely wasnt the case. Lots and lots of tickets were still on sale before and during the game.
