Anyone currently watching the Friday night 2. Bundesliga conference will likely have noticed the banknotes unusually flying through the air on one of the pitches and at times lying on the green grass.
They were thrown by VfL Bochum fans. The target of the protest and the chants of "Football must be affordable": their own club.
The fans wanted to express their displeasure that their club had imposed a marquee-match surcharge for today's game against promoted side Osnabrück.
In addition to the chants and the duplicate banknotes, a banner could be seen reading, "€10 surcharge?! What fan can still afford this game?"
While a standing ticket for this game cost 19 euros, tickets in other sections of the stadium were available for almost 50 euros — thanks in part to the marquee-match surcharge, and that against a newly promoted team.
