Derby Day Draw for Der Lowen

TSV's recent mediocre form continued as the were held to a one all draw at home in the Bavarian derby against Nurnberg. A crowd of 57,200 saw the final game prior to the winter break, going behind early on, before a 55th minute equaliser. Let's hope we don't see a repeat of last seasons second half of the season. The Lions are eight points off the promotion places, but more worrying is the five points separating them from the drop zone. In Germany there are only two fully professional leagues, and it would be disaster to see the blue and white playing in a regional semi pro Bavarian league. Still hopeful of making a game next year, late March would be preferable, money considerations aside. The home game against FSV Frankfurt still remains the most viable, although Koblenz away in April is another possibility.
