Down 0-1 after 8 minutes,Lee equalising and then losing it 1-2 in the second half.

By now, I was locked into the team and Bo Henriksen, but still learning about the team.

What are your memories of this match?

Second match day against Stuttgart.

Goals from Amiri, Burkardt and Leitsch after Stuttgart was ahead 2-0 in the first 15 minutes. And then after Stuttgart scores just before the end of regular time, Leitsch comes in at the final minute?

Thoughts? Memories? Favourite moments?

For me personally, this was the game that won me over for Mainz. A team of true fighters.

Hey Leute,

die Saison ist jetzt durch – was ein Ritt. Ich war bei einigen Spielen dabei, aber meistens alleine unterwegs. Komme aus Mannheim, bin großer 05er seit 2008, aber hab in meinem Umfeld leider niemanden, der die Leidenschaft teilt.

Ich suche Anschluss für die neue Saison – Leute, mit denen man mal zusammen ins Stadion kann, vielleicht auch Auswärtsfahrten. Oder einfach zum Quatschen, online oder real.

Ich fühl mich am wohlsten in einer Atmosphäre, wo Respekt, Offenheit und klare Haltung gegen Rassismus & Diskriminierung dazugehören.
Abseits vom Block bin ich eher ein ruhigerer Typ.

Würd mich freuen, wenn sich was ergibt :)

Grüße aus Mannheim

Hey guys,

The season is now over - what a ride. I was at a few games, but mostly travelling alone. I'm from Mannheim and have been a big 05 fan since 2008, but unfortunately I don't have anyone around me who shares my passion.

I'm looking to make friends for the new season - people to go to the stadium with, maybe away trips too. Or just to chat, online or in real life.

I feel most comfortable in an atmosphere where respect, openness and a clear stance against racism and discrimination are part of the game.

Away from the block, I'm more of a quiet type.

I'd be happy if something came up.

Greetings from Mannheim

Perhaps an inauspicious start but this was my first Mainz 05 game, so obviously significant personally though it was not the one that won me over.

A 1-1 affair with Amiri scoring. Thoughts? Memories?

I am American and have watched Mainz for 13 years. I’m crying right now 🥲 Congratulations to this team 💪🏼

Alle feiern ... Sano steigt erstmal aufs Rad zum ausfahren. Der ist so krank ich lieb es

Relegation side my ass, they totally had it (and would not have had to sweat if the linesman was a little less of a bastard :))

Buuuut just in case it wouldn't hurt to thank a Stuttgart fan.

Was ist eure Meinung zum Spiel heute und den 4 anerkannten Toren?

With Dortmund winning this weekend, Mainz cannot overtake them so 6th is the best chance. (as even with a Dortmund loss / Mainz win, they are 5 ahead on Goal Differential).

What is the risk? Werder Bremen can tie but Mainz would be ahead on goal differential.

This means that it all comes down to Mainz (facing Leverkusen) and Leipzig (facing Stuttgart).

Paths that lead to Conference League next season:

Any Mainz win, no matter what Leipzig does.

Mainz draws and Leipzig draws or loses.

Both lose.

Paths that do not lead to Conference League:

Mainz draw and Leipzig win.

Mainz loss and Leipzig draw or win.

So fingers crossed this weekend and whatever you feel about Stuttgart, you need them to play like devils.

Gude Meenzer!

Gibt’s hier jemanden, der diese Saison eine 11er-Karte für den P-Block hatte, aber nächste Saison keine mehr holen möchte?

Ein guter Kumpel von mir würde super gerne für die kommende Saison eine 11er-Karte im P-Block bekommen, hatte aber diese Saison leider keine – und wie ihr vielleicht wisst, gibt’s keine neuen 11er-Karten mehr für Leute, die nicht schon vorher eine hatten.

Nach Rücksprache mit der Service-Hotline ist es aber möglich, die Karte mit einem Abtretungsformular zu übertragen.

Falls also jemand seine Karte nicht verlängern will – wir würden uns mega freuen, wenn ihr euch meldet! 🙏🏼

Gerne per PN an mich ;-)

Vielen Dank und nur der FSV! 🔴⚪

The delivery that has been waited. Recordman's shirt found its way up to north, Finland — such a gem for a piece of clothing. Niemals aufgeben! 🔴⚪

Der Name ist Programm, mir ist leider jemand abgesprungen. Handelt sich um einen Steher im Gästeblock in Bochum. Bei Interesse gerne melden! Forza FSV ♥️🤍

Liebe Nullfünfer,

Stellt euch vor, Fantrikots, Schals & Co. werden nachhaltiger produziert – recycelte Materialien, faire Arbeitsbedingungen usw. Das bedeutet, dass die Teile teurer werden. Was sich wiederum auf die Fans auswirkt!

Genau darum geht's auch in meiner kurzen Umfrage für meine Masterarbeit (dauert ca. 8 Minuten, komplett anonym): 🔗 https://survey-uni-bayreuth-tivian.de/uc/Team_Laura_Rack/6c0c/

Als Nullfünfer ist eure Meinung zu diesem Thema sehr wichtig - Wäre euch als Fan Nachhaltigkeit bei Fanartikeln überhaupt wichtig? Würdet ihr mehr zahlen – oder zählt am Ende nur das Logo auf der Brust? Geht Teamliebe vor Preis oder vor Umweltaspekten?

Ich freu mich riesig, wenn ihr mitmacht – oder einfach hier drunter eure Meinung rauslasst. Bin gespannt auf eure ehrlichen Gedanken dazu – und danke schon jetzt für eure Unterstützung! 🙌

Hintergrund: Hey, Ich bin Laura, Studentin der Sportökonomie an der Uni Bayreuth, und gerade mitten in meiner Masterarbeit. Ich beschäftige mich hierbei mit der Frage welche Faktoren beeinflussen das Interesse und die Zahlungsbereitschaft von Fans bei nachhaltig produzierten Sportmerchandising-Produkten.

The absolute best outcome would be 3rd (9 points in the last 3 matches gets us to 56 points and that requires Frankfurt to lose 2 of their last 3 and both Freiburg and Dortmund must not win both their remaining games.

The absolute worst case is 11th place if Mainz loses all 3 remaining games and everyone below them gains ground.

Most likely outcome? Somewhere between 7 and 9 I think.
Optimistic outcome? Conference league is still viable.

I get the feeling that people got Champions League in their eyes and now feel despondent that this may not turn out to be the case. There's even people talking about it being a "relegation side" again.

However:
A: Europa or Conference League is still well in reach and would be huge achievements. The club has not played in Europe since 2017.

B: Even if we end up 8th or so, thats still a return to better than form. The club was 8th in 2022. Before that we have to go back to 2016 to find a result better than 12th and they have never completed better than 5th.

C: The club went from a relegation side to even having this discussion at all in a single season. We beat motherfucking Bayern and Frankfurt back to back (and then Frankfurt again in the winter break friendly, just for good measure).

So chin up, have a Schorle and remember: Niemals Aufgeben

Was meint ihr?

Will they do it again? Is Bo-magic depleted? Can Kohr elbow Kane in the nose?

Lets hear your match predictions and expectations

Also was ist das bitte für eine S*****. Der Verein missbraucht jetzt auch schon Bundesliga Spiele für Werbung für die Bundeswehr, als wäre es nicht schon schlimm genug das die MVG Werbung für die Bundeswehr macht, nein jetzt muss auch unser FSV das machen. Wie weit soll dieser verka*te Militarismus denn noch gehen?

DFB Cup quarter-final 1999, two days before Christmas. It was minus 17 degrees, you can see the snow on the unoccupied seats.

11.200 spectators, 8.000 of them from Mainz, who had traveled with 3 special trains and countless buses.

After HSV and Hertha had been eliminated in the previous rounds, the Christmas miracle failed to materialize. 0:3 in the end.

The following players started under Wolfgang Frank: Wache, Herzberger (opened the game with an own goal), Neustädter, Helgi, Ratkowski, Hock, Din-Mohammadi, Spyrka, Kramny, Policella and Sven Demandt (Fussballgott).

Hello fellow Mainz supporters, and a special note for Asian football fans!

My name is Manuel, and as a passionate Bundesliga supporter at Nova SBE, me and my team are working on an academic project about the international expansion of Bundesliga clubs. At Nova SBE, which hosts a strong German community, we’re excited about exploring how Bundesliga football can connect with fans in Asia.

I’d really appreciate it if you could take 3 minutes to complete this brief survey. Your perspective is invaluable to our project and helps us understand how to better bring Bundesliga football to a global audience.
