Ascholding - Die-hard fans of TSV 1860 Munich from the region founded the “Isarlöwen” fan club at the Holzwirt in Ascholding last week.
Blue and white jerseys and garlands adorn the walls of the hall.
The few cappuccinos that are drunk are finished with the logo of the Münchner Löwen.
The mood among those gathered is good, almost euphoric.
"I thought that we had reached into the toilet with our letter of invitation," initiator Stefan Hausruckinger begins the founding meeting.
"We want to support the positive spirit of optimism," said the letter that was sent to the members in Spe.

With 14 points from twelve games, TSV 1860 Munich are close to relegation places in the third division.
“But then the magical and galactic night came to Giesing's heights,” emphasizes Hausruckinger.
One day before the planned founding of the fan club, TSV bowled FC Schalke 04 1-0 out of the DFB Cup.
So there is definitely a positive atmosphere of optimism in the air at the Holzwirt in Ascholding.

With live music
The joy of victory can be seen in everyone at the meeting.
The euphoric mood is tonalized by the musician Schorschi Unterholzner with guitar and vocals.
The artist plays “Löwenmut” by Lustfinger and his specially composed work “Heid oder nia”.
According to Unterholzner, the latter will also be heard on his new album, which is due to be released in spring 2022.

60 lion fans sit excitedly in the premises at the Holzwirt. In addition to Hausruckinger, the 1860 fan club supervisor Felix Hiller took the floor. Hiller reports on the events of the past few days, long nights and little sleep. The cup win against Schalke is also in his bones. Nevertheless, you can tell that he is boundless joy. After the new fan club statutes have been read out, the most important point of the evening follows: the elections are coming up.
The new board of directors is elected unanimously and without any major complications: Stefan Hausruckinger becomes chairman, Xaver Unterholzner becomes second director, Ludwig Harrer is secretary, Ferdinand Möss second secretary, Benedikt Kollek is treasurer and Alan Bunn is second treasurer.
Five people can be nominated as assessors and are also unanimously elected to the new board: Charlene Büttner, Tamina Erlacher, Daniela Ermer Florian Riedl and Schorschi Unterholzner.
Thomas Harrer and Sebastian Stauder are appointed as cash auditors.
After the election of the board of directors, Hausruckinger actually wants to move on to the gritty part of the event when he remembers something: "The child still needs a name."
It's going to be Spanish
Various suggestions are thrown into the ring by those present: “Fiesta Mexicana Löwen”, “Löwenherzfreunde”, “Los Wochos Löwen” or “Ascholdinger Löwen” can be heard from the crowd. In the end, the decision is not difficult. With a clear majority, the assembly decided on the name "Isarlöwen".
The newly appointed board of directors already has concrete plans for the future: There should be public viewings at the Holzwirt and Lacherdinger in Ascholding, but also with active members at home.
The board members can also imagine bowling evenings, a carnival ball and roast suckling pig.
Trips to home games and organized bus trips are further items on the fan club's to-do list.
In addition, the "Isarlöwen" want to set up an exclusive ticket platform for their members on which annual tickets and away tickets can be exchanged.
Become an “Isarlöwe”
Membership in the “Isarlöwen” costs 18.60 euros per year.
Children under the age of twelve do not pay any contribution.
If you want to join the fan club, you can contact Ludwig Harrer by email at harrerludwig98gmail.com.
The calls for free beer are loud under the item “Wishes and Requests”.
And the calls are nipped in the bud with a donation of 100 liters of draft beer.
In a convivial atmosphere, the assembly then received the news of another cup surprise.
FC Bayern Munich will play against Borussia Mönchengladbach in the DFB Cup that evening.
When Gladbach's fifth goal fell, those present could hardly believe their eyes.
There is cheering.
Not a bad week to start a lion fan club.
