In the third division game against BVB’s U23s in Dortmund, Dynamo Dresden fans announce an “invasion”. The police have been alerted and are taking precautions.
Dortmund – Dynamo Dresden’s active fan scene has a dubious reputation. On the one hand she is known for her great passion, the strong choreos and her endless loyalty to the traditional club from East Germany. On the other hand, there is the great affinity for violence, the sometimes not very clear demarcation from the right-wing extremist milieu and a sometimes disturbing martial appearance of various chaotic people in public. Before the third division game against the second team from Borussia Dortmund (Sunday, March 12, 3 p.m.), a call on the net caused a stir.
BVB U23 meets Dynamo Dresden in Signal Iduna Park – Ultras announce “invasion”.
Since the renovation of the actual home ground of BVB-U23 – Stadion Rote Erde – is further delayed, the “amateurs” are again moving to the large Signal Iduna Park on Strobelallee in Dortmund (NRW). Normally, the games of Borussia Dortmund’s U23s look rather bleak there – the few fans and ultras disappear in the wide circle. But now that could be different.
Numerous supporters of Dyanmo Dresden, including many ultras and possibly hooligans, want to come. According to information from wa.de they are entitled to a contingent of around 6,500 tickets – BVB could also sell more. It is quite possible that the Dynamo fans will call them all up. For a third division game, that’s a huge crowd.
BVB U23 plays against Dynamo Dresden – the day before the ultras are in the derby at Schalke
It is still unclear whether Borussia Dortmund Ultras will be represented. According to reports, that could depend on the course of the game in the district derby the day before – on March 11, the pros from Borussia Dortmund will meet FC Schalke 04 away (6.30 p.m.). But it would be quite conceivable that the hard core of the BVB fan scene also wouldn’t want to miss the third division game against Dynamo Dresden.
Under the martial motto “Dynamo Invasion – All to Dortmund! 12.03.2023” mobilizes the active Dynamo fan scene, which operates under the name “K-Block”, for the away game of SG Dynamo Dresden at BVB-U23. The call is flanked by warlike graphics that depict a kind of troop movement on a map and a video. The police are concerned about this call.
Police classify Borussia Dortmund II against Dynamo Dresden as a “risk game”.
“We will classify the Borussia Dortmund II game against Dynamo Dresden as a ‘risk game’ and be on site with the appropriate forces,” said police spokesman Joshua Pollmeier in an interview wa.de. For tactical reasons, he was unable to provide more detailed information. Only so much: “We will be prepared for all eventualities.” The usual traffic obstructions on match days must also be expected. The emergency services will pay particular attention to so-called violent fans of Dynamo Dresden – but also of Borussia Dortmund.
“We will try to ensure that the two fan camps do not clash. Of course, families and fans who only come for the football game don’t have to be afraid,” said Pollmeier from the Dortmund police, who were also in “close contact with the officers from Dresden who are familiar with the scene” in order to identify possible chaos early on and to avoid escalations.
