“Haven’t heard it this loud in ages”: HSV fans light up Gladbach! | OneFootball

The HSV has also made a more than remarkable Bundesliga comeback in the stands. The traveling fans caused quite an alarm in Gladbach.

The HSV is back! And after just one matchday, it can already be said: its fans are too. After seven years of second-division routine, the Hamburgers made an impressive return to the top tier of German football over the weekend. The goalless draw at Borussia Mönchengladbach may not have offered much spectacle for the neutral observer, but the supporters of the Rothosen provided all the more goosebumps.

As the fan portal Die Falsche 9 reports, around 8,000 Hamburgers made their way to the Borussia Park on Sunday. Long before the kick-off, the city on the Lower Rhine was firmly in black, white and blue hands. In the officially sold-out guest block with 5,500 seats, there was an electrifying atmosphere that pulled through the entire 90 minutes of the stadium. Even World Champion and ex-Gladbach star Christoph Kramer was thrilled. "Guest fans have not been that loud in the Borussia Park for a long time," he raved in the podcast Copa TS.

HSV leads the away fans table!

But that's not all: over 2,000 HSV fans secured additional tickets in the home area and turned the Borussia Park into a Hamburg away fortress. According to DFL information, the HSV thus provided the largest away crowd of the entire matchday and the largest in Mönchengladbach since February 2023.

The numbers underscore what has been palpable in the stands for ages: the HSV and its fans are thrilling. In the previous second division season, the North Germans had already caused a stir with an average of almost 6,000 away fans. Only the supporters of FC Schalke 04 were even more travel-happy. Now the HSV fan base is continuing this trend seamlessly: after the first matchday, they lead the away fans table of the Bundesliga!
