Before the TSV 1860 game against Erzgebirge Aue, ticket sales in the Grünwalder stadium will be limited.

Reason are therefore probably fans of the lions.

Munich - The Grünwalder Stadion is known throughout Germany for its atmospheric atmosphere.

The fans of TSV 1860 Munich feel particularly comfortable on Giesing's heights.

The home of the Löwen supporters is the west curve of the cult stadium, where they have already been able to whip their team to four home wins this season.

In the guest block on the east side of the stadium there are normally no sixty supporters.

FC Erzgebirge Aue saw themselves forced to take an unusual measure ahead of their guest appearance at the Grünwalder Stadion next Friday (September 16, kick-off at 7 p.m.) - and that because of fans from Munich.

"Due to individual ticket purchases from Munich fan circles, we have now restricted online sales to members, subscription holders and registered multiple buyers.

The sale in the fan shop at the Erzgebirge Stadium remains unrestricted," said the second division relegated on Monday on his Facebook page.

“Ticket purchases from Munich fan circles”: Löwen fans wanted to go to the Aue game via the guest block

Apparently, Löwen fans tried to get tickets for the game through the guest contingent.

But the theory has a crucial catch: In the online shop of TSV 1860 - as of Tuesday afternoon - tickets for the game are still available.

It would not have been necessary for the Löwen fans to follow the game through the unloved guest block.

It is also questionable whether the sixties are even desired among the fans of the Erzgebirge.

It is therefore more realistic that Auer fans who live in Munich bought tickets for the away block in order to cheer on the Saxons from there.

This is also what commentators suspect under the Facebook post of the second division relegated team.

TSV 1860: Ultras in dispute with Merchandising GmbH - "Idiots"

Meanwhile, the Löwen-Ultras are in a dispute with TSV 1860 Merchandising GmbH, after they had used fans' designs for their fashion products.

At the home game against SV Meppen last Saturday, the west curve openly demanded the resignation of managing director Anthony Power.

He promptly countered and described the Ultras as "idiots" in an Instagram post.
