Title
Can’t Stop The Bleeding
Description
While Poland and Germany have just kicked off in Dortmund, there have been reports of some 100+ arrests earlier today, presumably of the hooligan variety and not persons on Jason Grimsley’s Buddylist. With this nasty vibe in mind, The Guadian’s Marina Hyde took the time to investigate a carefully planned, pre-World Cup get-together amongst rival supporters.
At first glance, Biegener Hellen appears something of a service station idyll. It is small, clean, and set in green fields dotted with poppies, just beyond the shadow of a small, dense forest. And yet, this wood - Kersdorfer Schleuse - takes on a distinct air of menace the minute one learns that two months ago it was the setting for a pitched battle between hardcore German and Polish football fans.
Two hundred German hooligans had thrown down the gauntlet to 200 of their Polish counterparts, and over several hours they fought a bloody war beneath the trees. It’s safe to assume that if you’d gone down to the woods that day, you’d have been in for the big surprise (teddy bears not included).
