Dortmund are a very special club in general. A very soulful and romantic Football club. The kits and the fans are absolutely brilliant. As is the Signal Iduna Park.
Yeah, I always favoured Dortmund in the Bundesliga since I was little. I liked the team back in the days with Chapuisat, Möller, Ricken, Sammer, Kohler. I also was once in the Westfalenstadion, today's ugly name Signal-Iduna, when Hannover 96 played there and being opposite of the Yellow wall was a different, unique feeling than you usully have in other stadiums.
They deserve better than they are today.
edit: But it's somewhat their own fault as well. Instead of building a strong foundation, they have reduced themselves to being a training club for the future superstars.
