Nothing is binding here and nobody is checking. Plenty of people follow more than one club, and plenty change their mind in the first season. Everything below is what to know as you start.
Dietmar Hopp's project club, risen from village football to the Bundesliga with modern facilities and a fanbase that other German supporters often distrust.
