Heil Hoffenheim!

[Mowen]

Their story is very similar to us when we come to the premier league in the 90ties and this team is everybodys second team in Germany right now. I wish we get some clean break in the future to achive what they achive.

 

Except Hoffenheim is a tiny one-horse town and we've got the largest pool of unshared support in England.

 

Honestly, is this true? Scumderland is only 12 miles away, so theoretically it should be split 2 ways at least, and apparently (according to taxi driver today...) Pompey has a population of 600k. Their crowd (and stadium) are disgraceful if true (NB haven't fact checked this)

 

There is no way Pompey has a population of 600,000. Plus Pompey is right next to So'ton and nearish Brighton and to a lesser extent London

 

According to wiki it's about 450k, and they're further from Southampton than we are Sunderland. Why don't they get 47k+? Pisses me off when people insinuate the only reason we get good crowds because of our 'unshared support'. It'd be shared more if we were much worse than the mackems.
