A fantastic effort by them - 6,500 travelling over for a pre-season friendly. I saw somewhere on another post that it being Hansa's 60th birthday this year may have also had something to do with it. I recall 1. FC Magdeburg fans making a similar effort (albeit smaller) when they had a friendly here against Norwich a couple of seasons back. They clearly indulged in a trip to the coast as well, as Yarmouth was absolutely covered in their stickers. |  |

| Anyone seen the video of German fans .. on 13:12 - Jul 27 with 1312 views | jontysnut | It's all very impressive but I'm not a huge fan of choreographed jumping up and down, lads with loud hailers etc. Maybe if I was 50 years younger. I ended up in the ultras stand at Slovan Bratislava and no-one was watching the match. |  | |  |

To my mind, your last sentence sums up the ethos and mind-set of a good chunk of European ultras culture, especially in respect of German fans (where the majority of my experience lies). They see their role as being to support the team through the creation of atmosphere - watching all 90mins of the game is very much a secondary consideration for a lot of them. Hence the capos with their backs to the game, large view-blocking flags, and all the other stuff that 'distracts' the ultras from the game. |  |

| Anyone seen the video of German fans .. on 13:16 - Jul 27 with 1275 views | ITFCson | The bouncing up and and down is a big part of German football culture amongst the ultras (and other european countries tbf) - the players then come and join in after a victory, it really makes it feel like the fans and supporters are united as one. Its incredible to see. |  | |  |

What theatres have you been in? When Andrew Scott nailed the “To be or not to be” soliloquy and I started bouncing up and down singing Scotty is a Danish Prince, a Danish Prince, a Danish Prince, he hates his mother, .. Man the looks… |  | |  |

It was when you chanted, "Stabbed through the arras, you're getting stabbed through the arras" at Polonius when the audience really turned though. |  |
