German football supporters protest.

During 3 football rounds in Germany there will be protest against a document on the security issue published by the German Football League. First "protest round" started in middle of November, and most groups in Germany join this protest.

There wont be any songs during first 12 minutes and 12 seconds of matches, because on December 12th clubs of first and second Bundesliga have to decide whether they agree or decline the new statutes.

German Football League wants to introduce these things to the top german leagues:

- Half the number of guest tickets at "high risk" games (All games with at least two relevant ultras groups inside the stadium).

- Tents for body inspection in front of the stadiums ( = less pyro)

- Less standing areas, more seats.

+ a few more ideas to marginalize Ultras on the stand.

They are talking about security, but there is never any fights inside stadiums in the two highest leagues. If they say "violence" they mean pyrotechnics, unannounced banners and offensive chants. In fact, they just want to replace ultras with families and earn more money.

There has been a first draft of this paper that has been declined by many clubs. Now the GFL has modified it a little bit (not better than the first one) but it seems that some clubs begin to change their opinion.
