Here, 14 of the rainy November 2010 in Herne joined the circle, and I think now it is letting go. Peter has often told him how his grandfather has taken every possible occasion as a child in the stadium at the castle, to track on the back straight matches in the Westfalia. Those who know the little story of Joachim Krol from the Special Issue " Match B1" of the sports area, which is able to visit such a game very well imagine.
Now it was indeed a day to leave the home town and therefore the club his grandfather. But, it was always his dream aground again at the castle with the RWE or Eintracht Nordhorn. Finally, it was therefore of RWE, which was allowed to begin again after 1978 to a point game in Herne. Back then 3200 spectators attended the game in the 2nd Bundesliga Nord at. Final score 2-2 at the time. Sunday there were even 4,000 fans and the 5th in the League.
The weather at that time and now: Identical, and the ground actually no normal game worthy. Also around the stadium before there was deep turf, and the impressive "round" was reached only by the "climb" of a large ridge. The hide the images a little bit about how high and steep the ranks are. 32,000 possible visitors want to continue to be accommodated.
was in view of the weather there but for the most directly on the platform, which is to kick-off almost completed. And there they sat or stood now moved closer together on wonderfully ramshackle wooden benches or in the stairwells, the many, many fans of Essen, Herne the right fans, the visitors from the eastern district, the police and probably a stadium spokesman, we were never really heard. Hearing but found the invitation nice to visit but just, therefore it every now and then both sides toward the middle grandstand was to discuss the meeting explicitly, but there did the police to prevent worse.
It was therefore outside the court rustic and not a few of the visitors were also present 1978th The stadium will definitely have changed nothing, and the vehicles inside the stadium carrying essential role to feel back to 32 years. It was a wonderful ambience, of some little moments aside, and who do not know what it feels like original football that can be treated in such a stadium. There was really zero amenities, there was football, emotions, crappy weather and a great fighting game, which exceeded my expectations. For 90 minutes it does not need to be happy as a fan in my eyes. All the other modern around "fuss" with full power only distracts. But of course brings no additional revenue, not to crowd out the monetary aspect.
What game escapes have seen the Herne responsible to my knowledge, but it was definitely the better team, namely those of RWE gained. A wonderful free kick, a penalty spot just before the end prove the result of 0:2, but the better game shares, more opportunities and even combination football as far as possible to emphasize this. The Westfalia has fought no less committed an offside has been revoked, but in the end prevented the individual error Herner because something countable out of this game.
During the game, but especially before, during intermission and then the eyes moved constantly on the back straight where I could see Peter standing by his grandfather. Have understood, as arising in such a place, the overwhelming love for football and life as a fan can. After the game was the grandfather of his grandson by the hand and I could let go of BS and satisfied, and resolved to go home. This game in this stadium was worth more than any big final, it has closed a circle.
