Today in the last match of the old Tivoli a 57 year old tradition has been revived. The legendary "Streichholzparade" ,roughly translated: "parade of matches" (and lighters). The first time this was done in the old Tivoli was 57 years ago on the inauguration match of the floodlights, which were the brightest in germany and among the brightest in europe backt at that time and are still in use today.
The flooglights were turned off after the match and everybody held up their firelighter and matches.
Here's a historic 57 yeras old picture from www.alemannia-aachen.de
(sadly I can only insert the tiny version here somehow):

Today after the last match in the old Tivoli the club arranged a revival of this old tradition. Thanks to the firefighters who allowed this as an exception.

Here are the pictures of the rivival of the streichholzparade from today evening:
(as it often is with photos in the evening, the sky was quite a bit darker in real life than it looks on these pictures)

Official photos from the club (www.alemania-aachen.de):

and a few pictures from a fan site (www.mayener-alemannen.de)

As mentioned it was an exception and took the club a lot of argueing to convice the firefighters, police and whatever security related officials to allow this exception. It wasn't possible earlier during an official league match either, it only worked in this friendly game against Werder Bremen. It was really nice so I'd like to pst a big thanks' to al those officials who allowed this exception to revive that old historic and legendary event in this 81 years old stadium for this one last time.

Any more pics or vids from Seattle? Someone told me that at the Seattle - DC game the entire crowd was standing and singing for 90 minutes.

Banner at the Universitatea Craiova - Dinamo Bucharest match. Dinamo owners always say they are preparing themselves for Champions League, but never get to play there.

Translation: "Google: Dinamo in Champions League - did not match any documents."

Look at the "avalanche" of people at the first goal. Its AWSOME.

nyrmetros · August 2nd, 2009, 02:34 AM

must be an amazing feeling to be crushed like that.

I dont think so

Not all people in South America like to be stand and crushed in that way.
I personally like to see and feel this kind of "situations" from a comfortable seat at a lateral stand.

Wow! I love it! It's like a waterfall! It's amazing how some groups of people can actually do this without incident!

You probably have; jerseys aren't cheap. I have the blue replica jersey. It was 70 and it looks really good!

Anyway, since we're in the emotions thread, here's a shot from Seattle v Chicago. Chicago brought a good amount of fans, considering this is MLS and Chicago is a looong ways away, but note that some of them are Timbers fans in disguise

, but it still looks good

It's certainly quirky looking. What is the idea of that funny looking triangular shaped stand up one end?

That's the Hawk's Nest, where the Seattle Seahawks' rowdiest fans sit.
