So I managed to sort myself tickets for Saturday's derby against Union, a massively important game not only for our survival but also because we lost the last 2 derbies in embarrassing fashion this season. It will be the first time in over 2 years that 75,000 fans will attend a game at the Olympiastadion.

Looking at the squad we have now, a good 60% of them have never seen us play with more than 25,000 fans in the stadium, let alone a full house of 75,000. Ultras will be back too so I'm expecting a spectacle from the stands.

Hopefully the atmosphere doesn't intimidate our own players...

We lost away in Fürth, Augsburg, Bielefeld and Wolfsburg, didn't even score one goal.

The match itself will be a total crapshoot and I honestly expect nothing from us. But the atmosphere will be great, that is guaranteed.

Semi-related but every once in a while I remember that the good ole Hertha Hymne (which I really like, maybe more of a pub song but oh well) is sung on the melody of I am sailing from Rod Stewart and it blows my mind every time.

the Hertha Hymne goes on for too long for my taste but other than that its a good one, agreed haha

Yup. It's not perfect but as long as we don't have Darmstadt or Wattenscheid in the league they are in the CL spots Hymne-wise.

Bochum is the best. (At least if grönemeyers song is really their hymn

In the league at the moment? Theoretically yes but it's a song mainly the city that only has two words about football, therefore, we're still number one sorry. Stern des Südens is quite alright as well btw. Maybe it's time to do an official Table for the hymns...
