re: What Premier League team should I root for? (NSFWish I guess)

Dortmund fans are absolutely insane. It's impressive as hell.

The That's one of the stadiums in the world that I would love to see. Those people are ferocious, and the atmosphere seems Deaf Valley-ish. The team has the "frick you, I'm taking the ball and going the other way" mentality to go along with the fans too.

Dortmund's average attendance in the league this season has been more than 80,000—higher than Barcelona's and higher than Manchester United's. More than 50,000 of those fans are season-ticket holders. A season ticket in the Yellow Wall costs just €180 to €190 ($234 to $247). That's works out to about €11 ($14) per game.

"Without problem, we can make a price of 17, 18, 19 euros," Watzke said. "It's marvelous. But it's not our way, because that's the heart of Borussia. And if someone wants to belong to the heart, then he has to have the possibility, even if he has low income."

The waiting list to belong to that heart is 37,000 people long.
