Chapter 41Premium
***
[A 2006/2007 Regionalliga Nord match between Union Berlin and VfL Osnabrück.]
The match between Union Berlin and VfL Osnabrück kicked off with the referee's whistle.
VfL Osnabrück, who were currently 4th in the league, desperately needed a win. To be promoted to the 2. Bundesliga next season, they had no choice but to beat Union Berlin and climb to second place in the standings.
Any team in the lower tiers wants promotion.
Fans hope to see the team they support play in the top flight.
Of course, once a club does make it to the top flight, the influx of new fans makes seat reservations fiercely competitive and ticket prices go up.
But wanting the team you love to become better known to the world than it is now was only natural for a fan.
For supporters, the club they cheered for was the past they'd remember with their father and the future they'd one day cheer for with their own son.
"Auf geht's!! (Let's go!)"...
