TSV 1860 München

1860 are a club based in Giesing, Munich. The club has 20,000 members and is generally seen as a club with a working class background. One of the founding members of the Bundesliga, 1860 enjoyed its greatest period of success in the 60's when it won the Bundesliga in 1966 and was runner-up in 1967 as well as winning the 1964 DFB-Pokal but losing out to West Ham in the 1965 Cup-winners Cup. The club enjoyed a stable, mid-table spell in the Bundesliga from 1994 after 2 straight promotions from the 3rd. tier of German football until a spectacular collapse in 2004 saw them relegated.

The primary goal for the 2013 is to achieve promotion. 1860 nearly did so in the 2012 season, finishing 5 points off a promotion spot due to a bad run of home games early in the season. 1860 has the quality to achieve promotion, but consistency will be a major factor in their push for promotion.

1860 could be likened to Manchester City in the fact that it's a light-blue club with an Arab sugar daddy with a working class background whose [red] local rivals are the most successful club in the country. So if you support Manchester City, you inherently support 1860. GET INNNNNN.

In recent seasons 1860 has faced a lot of financial difficulty, including coming close to insolvency in 2006, forcing the club to sell it's 50% share in the Allianz Arena. in 2011 1860 was was again faced with a financial crisis, but Jordanian investor Hasan Abdul Ismaik saved the club and can now be seen to hold a similar position to Hoffenheim's Dietmar Hopp.

1860 shares the Allianz Arena with Bayern München, a controversial decision and a few Löwen fans refuse to watch games in the Allianz Arena in an attempt to boycott it (Verweigerer). Plans to expand the Grünwalder Stadion, something which many fans welcomed, 1860's "real" home-ground, were rejected by the City of Munich and thus Die Löwen will continue to play in the Allianz Arena for the foreseeable future.


1860 has a strong rivalry with Bayern München (Münchner Derby) but since relegation the heatedness of it has died down somewhat. It's other rivals are Bavarian clubs such as Augsburg and Ingolstadt as well as SpVgg Unterhaching, Munich's 3rd largest professional club (who enjoyed a very short spell in the Buli, which at one point left 3 clubs from Munich in the Buli.).

Great job! Nice to see more German clubs listed here!

=D

I kinda borrowed your format :3 I'll update the rosters once it's set in stone and the fixture list and results sometime this week (exams)

*nod* Understandable. I'm also waiting for the rosters for the teams I posted here to be finalized, before I start to update the teams. I'm looking forward to seeing your club finished!

Bayern's proud tributary club

Our biggest loss is Volland (13 goals, 11 assists) going back to Hoffe from loan (they bought him last year) and Aigner is heading towards Buli pastures as well

But in our match against Unterhaching on Friday (even htough we lost) Maier looks like an extremely promising prospect and the transfer coup for us so far, Tomasov was hugely impressive and has all the makings of Publikums-liebling

Gotta admit the Allianz arena looks sexy in light blue

It's because the blue looks better when the sky is the backdrop.

But hey, that's the beauty of the most awesome stadium in the world

Updated fixture list.

Updated starting 11 for 2013 season.

We need some serious back-up in attack with Jais and Zierais leaving too.

New Friendly vs. Stuttgart on the 29th!.

Board response to stadium future enquete.

Summary:

The board realizes the two fan priorities are promotion and having their own stadium. To adress the second issue however, promotion and a stable financial base is required so while the board recognizes it as a priority that wish can not be adressed right now.

Undefeated in 9 competitive games

phritz what can you tell me about the ismaik vs board issue ?

BTWl, Sven-Göran Erikssen does not know of any appointment as 1860's coach, I read a short while ago. So it seems that Ismaik's favourite won't come after all.
