Hamburger SV is one of the largest clubs in Germany. In the New sticker on T-Online you will find all the important messages about the “red pants”.
When Horst Hrubesch carried the HSV jersey, the Hamburgers were part of the world leadership of football. Between 1978 and 1983 the center forward with 134 goals in 212 games was involved in three German championships and the victory in the European Cup of the national champions, and in 1980 he shot the European Championship. Horst Hrubesch became U19 European champion, U21 European champion and Olympic second.
On April 17, the “header” celebrates its 74th birthday. The HSV took this as an occasion for its former striker, who has been wearing the “diamond” as a young man since 2020, to appreciate social media as a “living legend”.
After a fan criticism of high ticket prices in the end of the season, the Hamburger SV announces a reaction. “We will approach the Supporters Club and the active fan scene and step into the exchange. We are currently examining very concrete measures that should be included in the future pricing,” said Cornelius Göbel, director of fans, culture & brand identity.
“We take it very seriously and also see the need to act,” he affirmed. Among other things, there should be “more transparency in the price setting”.
The background is protests in the 2: 4 against Braunschweig and criticism of the prices for the last home game against Ulm on May 10th. A card cost up to 96 euros. The “Förderkreis Nordstandüne” accused the association of “no serious interest in socially acceptable admission prices for football fans”. “The” Fannahe Image “created by the club itself” suggests purely economic motivation in the overall context, “it said in a statement.
Göbel emphasized: “HSV tickets should not be luxury goods that only attract an event audience.” The games at the end of the season mostly belonged to the A. “As an organization, we are not concerned with achieving maximum profit through the sales sale,” he said. Income would also flow in construction measures at the stadium.
The HSV strives for a “much more differentiated and content exchange” for pricing.
The Berlin second division Hertha BSC could get prominent reinforcements for sporting leadership in summer. According to the matching reports from “Kicker” and “Tagesspiegel”, the club has contacted Jonas Boldt (43) – the former sports director of Hamburger SV. There is already a first meeting that another is planned.
Boldt was responsible for the HSV from 2019 to 2024. At first there were rumors that he could either replace Benjamin Weber (sports director) or Andreas Neuendorf (director of young people and professional sectors). However, both had only extended their contracts until 2027 in autumn.
Instead, a different personnel focus on the focus: Managing Director Thomas E. Herrich (60). Its contract was extended last year – but without specifying at runtime. Herrich has been part of Hertha leadership for more than ten years and has been managing director since 2022.
After a season to forget, in which Hertha missed the goal again significantly, there would be no surprise. Jonas Boldt is considered open to new tasks – he was also in discussion at Schalke 04.
After the bitter 2: 4 against Eintracht Braunschweig, the HSV got away with a blue eye. Because the direct competition also hits, the Hamburgers are still leaders and, after the 29th matchday, have five points ahead of the relegation place 3. A look at the rest of the schedule:
On Saturday, the team wants to make amends to make amends to the away game at Schalke (matchday 30). In the recent past, the “concise” have been one of the favorite opponents of the HSV: the “red pants” have been undefeated for six competitive games and have scored 14 out of 18 possible points.
