Fanbogen the Eisbären Berlin remains : Folklore in spite of Commerce

The Fanbogen. What the supporters of the Eisbären Berlin in the last few months at home games in the Arena at the Ostbahnhof again and again loudly called for, is now a certainty. The meeting place of the Fans of the record champion of the German ice hockey League needs to move, but gets very close to the old location a new home. It is now the new Fanbogen on the site of the Berlin city cleaning in the mill road until the next season, so judging by that there is also all the same feel at home.

For the Faithful of the Faithful of the continued existence of the Fanbogens is a small Triumph. And this shows that even in times of increasing commercialisation as in the case of the polar bears in their big arena, has long been commonplace, still time for a bit of nostalgia remains. The club and owners have not recognized that it is not without its supporters and also a sign for other clubs in other sports. For the longest time, many Fans have the impression that you are only good as a decorative accessory that goes as well as it, milked.

And for the spectators in the football stadiums is no longer the primary source of income. Nevertheless, the associations do not do well to neglect in the future the interests of their Fans. Because without you – and that members of the Supervisory Board, patron and sponsors should always lead in front of you – the professional sport in its current Form has no future. Even if it means to sometimes make decisions not only based on economic considerations.
