I guess. Don't know much about Fortuna's current team but in my day they
were entertaining. Of course Köln were nowhere near the relegation zone
in those days.

Yeah, but der Club has lots of yo-yo experience, and more fans and
tradition - that one did not surprise me that much.

You will argue that the same applies to Bielefeld, but my impression is
that they kept fewer key players, and anyway they don't have the same
support as Nurnberg.

They entertained us pretty well in the first round of the cup - 3-3 aet
and HSV won on pens, IIRC...
