😱 Fans refuse to support as Bundesliga supporters clash in violent brawl | OneFootball

A fierce confrontation between around 50 supporters of FC St. Pauli and VfL Wolfsburg at Hannover's main train station caused a great stir on Saturday afternoon. The brown-and-white fans were on their way to Frankfurt, while the Wolfsburg fans were traveling to their away game in Hamburg.

During the spontaneous escalation, bottles and construction barriers were thrown, and several people were injured. The police separated the groups and put the fans on their trains. However, the incident had consequences, especially for many St. Pauli supporters.

About 200 fans from Hamburg received expulsion orders and were unable to attend their team's Bundesliga match. The fan assistance group published the corresponding police orders. 

The neighborhood club also made a public statement: "In light of the events, FC St. Pauli calls for de-escalation. Given the information known so far about the incident in Hannover, the police measures appear at least questionable in terms of proportionality."

The Hamburg supporters who arrived at Deutsche Bank Park reacted by refraining from support due to the events. Meanwhile, the Wolfsburg fans also did not manage to arrive in full force at the Volksparkstadion.
