I dunno if anyone heard about it in england... But heres a story of my home team, SpVgg Bayreuth

The fans started an auction at ebay, "selling" themselves to what ever team offers the most. The reason: the club was in bancrupty.

So on one game of the winning auction team, 60 fans of us will travel to Aschaffenburg (the team that won) and cheer that team.

The highest bis was at 1800 Euros, but thats nothing compared to the media feedback it received, the auction was mentioned in any news of any big media station, nationwide.

We play 5th league atm. I think those fans who go there (i wont make it as i live to far away from my home town) really did make a great thing.

What do you tink of it?

Bayreuth is a great town (but as previously documented I love Wagner).

It is a novel idea, will the money raised help the club much?

not the money itself, that just a drop in the bucket.

but the media presence will help alot. I hope.

I've loved that team since my dad took me to the stadium when i was like 8 yo.
