Bleak times for Dynamo Dresden down at the bottom of 2. Bundesliga. So much for the new manager bounce.

Goodness me, I remember when they were Champions of East Germany !

Remembering Dynamo Dresden: the fallen giant of East German football

That's interesting, I wasn't all that aware of the Stasi/State involvment in the GDR era but it's not really a surprise.

It is remarkable how loyal and passionate the fans are despite the club's situation. I noticed this even made the news in the UK last year - 30,000 away fans travelled to a 2nd round cup match against Hertha Berlin:

    It happened back in 2003 - while I have a soft spot for Shrewsbury, it was Chelsea.  It wasn't a conscious decision but just where my heart was and is.

    Come on Shrewsbury! Who’d you support if they make the next round?

    Oh what a drawma...

    Seriously though, this shouldn't be a drawlemma.

    Chelsea are my first team but I only recently moved to the UK from the States. My team over there was DC United but the best thing about moving to the UK is the Premier League replacing MLS in my life.
