Funny chart. I chose to watch Hertha when I first lived over here temporarily about 14 years ago. I have seen Hertha numerous times home and away since then so it has to be them.
Been to 23 German games at 21 different grounds now and if I had to pick a Bundesliga side it will be Köln for sure!
I’ll be keeping an eye on Bundesliga 2 however. We had an outstanding day at Bielefeld last season and they’re unexpectedly top of the pile currently and looking good for promotion!
Spot on about Berlin. Haven’t done Union but Hertha is all a bit dull for such an awesome city.
We bagged free tickets way back in 2002, when Fulham hosted Hertha Berlin in the Europa League, although it ended 0-0, it was a great display by my favourite referee Pierluigi Collina.
I’ve seen a few Union games in my time as well, including two Hertha derby games. Saw a friendly against Leeds and a very fiesty cup game against Bablesburg which was a derby-ish game back then.
My understanding is that Union are seen as the “real” football club and working class side whereas Hertha are the modern football yuppies. There’s also the East/West angle as well.
FC Koln for me.
Watched a game there at WC06

No one....
Got Paderborn (semi deliberately)
Have friends in Koln and every season have a couple of weekends which includes football. Great atmosphere
Does anyone really still have BT Sport though?
And yes, I know it's free if you have their broadband and it was just a joke.
But anyone else? It was the first thing under the bus for me.
I used to go and watch Borussia Mönchengladbach quite a lot in the 1990s, when I was stationed in Germany withe RAF.
So you were the unpopular bloke chanting “Give us a Bbbbbb”.
(Old joke, I know).
I didn't realise you had a stutter
