Fans of TSG 1899 Hoffenheim have reacted to the escalating power struggle at the North Baden Bundesliga soccer club with numerous posters and banners. Before the match against RB Leipzig in the Sinsheim stadium, the protest was directed against player advisor Roger Wittmann, who is considered an intimate of patron Dietmar Hopp. The 85-year-old himself was sitting in the main stand.
An ultra group had distributed flyers around the arena with a fake wanted poster for Wittmann. TSG did not want to comment on this for the time being. "Roger Wittmann, get the fuck out of our club" was the slogan on a banner across the south curve. There was a piece of paper with similar wording in numerous seats.
